Interview Encore: Dr. Leah Torres

[Explicit Language] Nerd alert! I invited my friends Travis Bone from the Stephanie Miller Show, funk legend Freekbass, and Rick Shew from the Friends From Work podcast to talk about toxic fandom. It's especially appropriate with the big news from DC Studios about its rebooted universe. We'll talk a little about that first, and then get into the main topic – what causes toxic fandom online, who's behind it, and how we can best deal with it. And yes, there's definitely overlap with politics on social media and elsewhere. So stick around for this episode.
