The Fansplaining podcast is about to transition to written form for a while, and they have a call for pitches up on Google docs that I feel some of you who follow me here on Dreamwidth are the sort of folks who would be interested in...!
As the form says:
"In May, we’ll be recording Flourish’s final episode (before they give birth and get ordained as a priest!), and then Fansplaining will temporarily transition into a written publication only. While Elizabeth is hoping to revive the podcast in some form eventually, in the short-term, the focus will be on publishing smart, substantive reporting on and analysis of fan culture topics."
More detail on what they're looking for and how to pitch an article:

As the form says:
"Fansplaining, the podcast by, for, and about fandom, was born on a panel at San Diego Comic-Con in 2015. Since then, we (Elizabeth Minkel & Flourish Klink) have recorded more than 250 regular and special episodes, featuring interviews with scholars, actors, writers, marketers, journalists, technologists, and fans about the ever-evolving world of fan culture. We’ve also published nearly two dozen articles—some written by us, some written by guest contributors."
