Ep. 60: Alan Wong and 90s Web Fandom

from Sloancast · host Rob Butcher and Ken Gildner

A/S/L? On this episode, we fall deep into the phenomenon that was 90s web superfandom with the one and only Alan Wong, alias SquirrelAl—webmaster of the legendary Sloan Hut. We wax nostalgic about Sloan Chat meetups, Pictures of the Week and forum escapades, as well as about friendships forged on the information superhighway that stand the test of time. To all Gen Zs and Alphas out there: you kinda had to be there.
