Welcome to the Online Friend Simulator. Because everyone could use a friend, even if it’s online. I’m Francis aka The Other GUy Episode number 4 has me talking about what a friend is. What is expected from someone who’s considered a friend? I also talk about my time at Wondercon 2018, meeting new people, and the power of an empty table. Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated.

It was an honor to participate in the first CrossPod with the Panel to Panel podcast. They’re an awesome crew, who are a blast to talk to and you need to give their show a listen.
I’ve been covering Wondercon for the past five years, and I never seem to get bored talking about it. Each year its something new and something different. So before I get to my five favorite things about Wondercon 2017, let me wax poetic about the Wondercon of yesteryear.
