8. Fangirling All the Way
We meet an academic who has found her place amongst the BTS fan community and a My Little Pony fan who explores the subculture within his subculture and why it almost destroyed it.
Paris meets a disabled BTS superfan who finds community and connection with fellow fans and a My Little Pony bro who explains what happened when the right wing infiltrated their fandom.
Speaking to clinical psychologist Dr Lynn Zubernis, Paris looks at how our passions for things can enrich our lives. Are only certain people able to become hardcore fans?
