New Podcast Episode Out: Escaping into Empires: Star Wars and the Psychology of Fandom

We have a very, very fun episode today on Why Do People Do That. This episode, we’re talking about something that most of us are aware of – maybe even have – but don’t know much about from a psychological standpoint.

We’re talking about fandom.

There is very real psychology behind fandom. While so many of us just think “we like it, so we’re fans,” there is a lot more to fandom, especially behind the scenes, relating to how our brains operate.

Stacy and Heather sit down with Kristine McPartlin — host of ‪@MindtheForce , a podcast dedicated to examining mental health through the lens of Star Wars.
