Ep. 28 - Cosplay | LIVE @ Nine Worlds Geek Fest

Box Not Included

It's our first live episode, direct from Nine Worlds Geek Fest! And seeing as we were surrounded all weekend by stunning cosplay, we made it our topic. And to make things even more special, Jade and Hamish (decked out as Taako and Magnus from The Adventure Zone) were joined by gay journalist and fellow podcaster Matt Baume! We discuss the wide range of what cosplay offers, how our identities as queer people influences our cosplay and how being LGBT can also help us reclaim characters in the name of representation. We also touch on costume-based communities and how cosplay brings nerds together. Matt's various projects can be found on his website http://www.mattbaume.com/ If you want to get in contact, you can do so via Twitter @BoxNotIncluded, Email at [e-mail] or on Tumblr @BoxNotIncluded.
