We’d like to give a big thank you to this week’s sponsor, LoganArch!

I’m embarrassed about how long it’s taken me to introduce you all to Missy and Merri, the duo behind Fake Geek Girls podcast.

If you like what we’re doing at The Sartorial Geek (hi, thank you), I think you’ll also want to subscribe to Fake Geek Girls. Fake Geek Girls is a podcast looking at nerdy pop culture from both a fan and critical perspective, encouraging the things we love to do better.

My favorite part of speaking to Merri and Missy is that they strike a really great balance with their conversations. What do you do if you’re a fan of something that’s problematic? How do you have a respectful conversation about a fandom that one of you loves and the other can do without? Can you call out issues without throwing the entire fandom away?

Please follow Fake Geek Girls online and look out for them when in person cons are happening again!

And remember, stay nerdy.
