Description
In this episode, we’re joined by Devra Langsam, publisher of Spockanalia and organizer of the first Star Trek convention in 1972 in NY, and Lynn Cohen-Koehler, who helped organize the first Philadelphia convention in 1975. We discuss how Star Trek changed the face of fandom and science fiction conventions, the history of early conventions, the rise of the “corporate” con, and how cons and con culture have evolved over the last 45 years.
