Fandom on the Rocks
Fandom on the Rocks is a smart, funny, emotionally invested podcast about television, fandom, ships, chaos, and questionable narrative choices. We recap shows like Glee, 9-1-1, and Teen Wolf with love, skepticism, and an alarming number of notes — digging into character arcs, fandom discourse, slow burns, plot holes, and the canon that almost gets it right. Grab a coffee, pull up a chair. Let’s overthink television together.
