The Wild (Online) West Part 1: 1995 to 2005 Lady V and Katie cover the (brief) history of online fandom and how it got to where it is today.

We also discuss the Yahoo! Answers shut down and how, no, George Lucas doesn't get enough appreciation, actually. /episode/index/show/rewritingripley/id/18845831
