Meet The Hosts
HI I’M steph (she/her/hers)
I’m Stephanie, the editor of the Fandomtastic Podcast and the steam-obsessed, inappropriate commenter. But my talents also extend to making Marvel references wherever possible, being shocked at Ava’s age, exclaiming “Ma’am!” and shushing Ernie (who often co-signs).
HI I’M ava (she/her/hers)
I’m Ava, the script writer of the Fandomtastic Podcast. I’m the water-boy obsessed one who can’t help but make references to the ocean, large bodies of water, and anything…wet. If possible, I’d spend more time complaining about the Whole Foods parking lot, verbally sparring with the poltergeist that messes with my audio files, and arguing that Venom deserves to be in an Avengers movie.
