Episode 376: Nesreen aka thenessdiaries_ talks Star Wars, True Blood, F1 Racing, Bounding and Content Creation

Tales from the Fandom

I'm excited to have Nesreen aka thenessdiaries_ on Instagram join me for this latest episode, after having followed her account for awhile. Nesreen brings new fandoms and a wonderful conversation.

We start with Star Wars. Nesreen talks about how she got into Star Wars from a young age, to rediscovering it later in life. We talk about some of her favorite movies and shows, including Star Wars Rebels. Plus, we of course talk favorite characters, unexpected ones we fell in love with, and the future of the franchise (this was recorded prior to The Acolyte releasing).

From there, we talk about a show that has not been talked about on this podcast! We're talking about HBO's True Blood series. Nesreen did a rewatch, inspiring me to rewatch (and finish) the series. We talk about what we loved about the show including the wonderful character, Lafayette. Nesreen answers the Bill vs Eric question, and we talk about the show overall and how it was watching it during the height of vampire popularity.

Another new fandom to the podcast is F1 Racing. Nesreen educates me about the sport of F1 racing. She talks about the trials and tribulations of being able to watch it live, and we talk about how she got into the sport and her favorite driver.

Lastly, we talk about a combination of content creation. From Nesreen doing Disneybounds and bounding in general, to creating content at Disney, and balancing that side of life with social activism when it comes to Palestine, genocide, and more. This is a very open and honest discussion and I really appreciate and thank Nesreen for providing the education and information that she did on the podcast, and with what she does on her social media.
