This week, Shauna, Hayley and Nicole host the show live from Phoenix Fan Fusion, the comic and pop culture convention that returned this year after a two year hiatus. Hayley and Shauna tell the audience about all the good geeky stuff premiering this week, like Obi-Wan Kenobi and Stranger Things, then welcome special guests to the stage. First up is Hecate, a cosplayer, model and influencer who talks about her favorite cons and how the design process for her looks. Then David Boyles from Drag Story Hour Arizona tells us about his group’s mission to bring inclusive story times to children and their grown-ups in Arizona, inspiring kids to be themselves (and annoying the occasional bigot). Finally, we are joined by Meghan from the Phoenix chapter of Very Awesome Girls Into Nerdy Activities, a group for geek girls and those who identify as girls. Very Awesome Girls use their nerdy superpowers for good by volunteering at community events and crafting geeking items for fundraisers. Finally, The Junkies talk about their OTPs, because everybody has at least one.

Thank you to Ashleigh Feiring and Phoenix Fan Fusion for inviting us this year!
