23 Jan 2025
We are living in the era of Peak Cremation, and fans have turned to our true American cathedral as a final resting place: the sports arena.

It gets big and grandiose and cosmic and profound and stupid and smart and all of that. But this is in the tradition of your study of fandom that began arguably on death row in Texas.
Our episode last year, which was singular in the genre. But this is ridiculous in its own right.
This is part of my goth period, I think.
Yes. It's Denver. It's a couple years ago. And it's a news story that starts like this.
