Kylara's Fandom Fun

Sorry for the radio silence on the podcast. I’ve been going through some stuff that I go into a bit more in the audio, but the important part is that I’m back — albeit back to a monthly schedule.

Back in February, I attended my second Gallifrey One convention here in Los Angeles. While there, I managed to snag 30 minutes of time with animator and artist Alisa Stern, the woman behind the YouTube web series Doctor Puppet. We talk about what got her into animation, why she chose to do a Doctor Who-based series, and what’s next on her plate now that she’s decided to wrap it all up.

Head’s up that I interviewed her in the lobby early Sunday morning, so the background noise is a bit crowded — and it only gets worse as the interview progresses.

See the full show notes and listen to the episode here.

“The Twelve Days of Christmas” is a carol from 1780 and thought to be French in origin. (Thanks, Wikipedia!) It, of course, covers the eponymous days, which start Christmas day and are said to be the days it took the Wise Men to get to Jesus with their unusual baby shower gifts. And while the cumulative nature of the song was probably some 1700 way of keeping a song going, in 2017 it just means the song tends to get old, fast.
