    Hi FanGRRRLS,

    In this episode of the FanGRRRLs Podcast we explore the vibrant intersection of fandom and fashion. Dani shares her personal experiences at Disney World, delving into the joys and challenges of expressing fandom through fashion.

    Join us as we explore how fashion becomes a powerful tool for self-expression and identity, especially for women navigating the complexities of fandom spaces. From Disney bounding to confronting internalised misogyny, we discuss the use of fashion in fandom to decenter from the male gaze and how fandom can often be governed by patriarchal norms.

    Tune in for a thoughtful conversation on internalised misogyny, beauty standards, and the evolving landscape of fandom culture. Don't forget to leave us a comment about what you are fangrrrling over and your thoughts on the podcast!


    Lots of Love,

    Jess & Dani

    xoxo

  • Politics vs Escapism: The dualism of Fandom?

    Politics vs Escapism: The dualism of Fandom?
    Aug 21 2025

    Hi Fangrrrls,

    In this episode of the Fan GRRRL Podcast, we explore the evolving landscape of pop culture, politics and fandom, as we find ourselves either politically charged or politically fatigued, and using our fandom to comfort those emotions.

    Even though we said we wouldn't be talking as much about Miss Swiftie (we lied), we focus on Taylor Swift's recent album announcement and how it signals a move into escapism in pop culture compared to the recent political moments of CMAT, Kneecap, Bob Vylan and Hayley Williams.

    We discuss the intersection of politics and music, and the role of nostalgia in shaping fan experiences that look for something culturally simpler in a turbulent period.

    Can fandom be both political and escapist? The conversation highlights the importance of community support within fandoms, especially in times of political fatigue, and emphasizes the need for a balance between escapism and political engagement in music.

    Let us know what you think in the comments!

    Lots of love

    XOXO FanGRRRLs,

    Jess and Dani
