Fan fiction is a literature category that's pretty huge, with fans putting their own spin on lores, fandoms, and stories that they love. Not really knowing much about it, our host Kam Raslan seeks the help of one of this week's guests, Sudais Ferhard, to help him understand more about it. But before they get to that topic, Kam asks the other guest, Matt Armitage, to talk about the state of AI in 2026. In the second part of the show, Sudais speaks about unusual travel destinations that he would like to visit. Another classic episode of A Bit of Culture that's fun and insightful.
