Hello, world!
My name is Katie, I use they/them pronouns, and I am one of the co-hosts of Bisexual Breakdown. I have been taking part in fandom in some manner since I was a pre-teen. I am also going to be running the social media posts for this podcast so if you see us on social, that was likely posted by me! I love to read, write, bake, and do photography, and I take part in these hobbies both within and out of fandom. You can also catch me on discord, where I help run some fandom servers, as well as a server dedicated to LGBTQIA+ media which I created. If you couldn't guess, I am extremely dedicated to the telling and spreading of LGBTQIA+ stories. I'm excited to start this podcast journey where I can share my own voice as well as the voices of others
I'm Serena, my pronouns are she/her, I'm BIPOC and queer and I'm the other co-host of Bisexual Breakdown. My academic and professional background is in politics and human rights. I enjoy travel and I love history and culture and marveling at human civilization and all the ways we're so different but also fundamentally the same. I'm a voracious consumer of pop culture, particularly media that is nerdy and queer, but I find something to enjoy about almost every genre. I just love all kinds of stories! I write both original fiction and transformative works (i.e. fanfic) and run a creative community server on Discord. I've always been a fannish person but I hadn't been that active in fandom until the last few years; I kind of just existed on the periphery and observed it for decades like an anthropologist. I look forward to having interesting conversations about the evolution of fandom culture and its intersection with social movements and the broader media landscape, and specifically the different ways people, especially LGBTQIA+ folks, interact with it!
