S02E20: Ghostbusters Celebration Wales 25 Founder Gareth Mates

The Fate, Luck & Karma team welcome Gareth Mates, founder and organiser of Ghostbusters Celebration Wales 25 - an event bringing together custom Ecto-1 vehicles, photo ops, fan film screenings, cosplay, green screen pics and much more. Now in it's second year, the free to enter GBCW event will take place on Sunday 8th June 2025 at Newbridge Memo, Newbridge, South Wales. Listen in as Dean, Jay and Theo talk to Gareth about the origins of the event, the challenges of getting together a whole host of Ghostbusters franchises to collaborate on the event, what Gareth is working towards for future events, and also the charity that Ghostbusters Celebration Wales is going to be raising money for. Plus, hear about how the team can now get the Trick Or Treat Studios Slimer Wall Buster here in the UK, a great discount code that can be used at geek merch online retailer Zavvi, and a lovely story about how McKenna Grace is supporting the Ghostbusterfication of kid sized hospital gowns, to make the time that young people spend getting medical care a little less scary and a little more cool. All of this, plus a sneaky preview of Fate, Luck & Karma's 46th episode - when the podcast really finds its voice! Not bad for less than 30 minutes!  Want to get in touch?
