Can we just say for the record that if you’ve attended a convention and been bitterly disappointed, you have our sympathies. THAT BEING SAID, grab some popcorn, because in the wake of the Fyre Festival documentaries (which we adored) we’re going to talk about a bunch more conventions that imploded due to inexperience, egos, financial shenanigans, downright mental incompetence, or all of the above. (We don’t know why we love Convention Disaster Stories, but we really, really do.)
Listen in as we go over what we know about TanaCon, Dashcon, Nerdcon, RainFurrest, and Universal FanCon, not to mention a bunch of geeking out about Fyre Festival because holy cow that crapfest makes for a great story.
SPOILER WARNING for Better Call Saul at the 5:53 mark!

If you’re wanting even more Fyre Festival content, the Fyre Festival episode of the Swindled podcast (which came out two months before the documentaries) is very fun, and the intro about a disastrous Christmas Festival is a nice bonus.
