  <description>The Dragon Con Report is heading across the pond… without leaving Atlanta.
This episode, we sit down with Caro and Rob from the Brit Track to explore one of Dragon Con’s most charming and cheeky programming tracks. From British pop culture and fandom deep cuts to tea-fueled panels and a healthy dose of wit, Brit Track brings a unique flavor to the con experience.
We dig into what makes Brit Track a fan favorite, how the team curates its programming, and what attendees can expect this year.
Whether you're a die-hard Anglophile or just Brit-curious, this conversation is packed with insights, laughs, and plenty of reasons to add Brit Track to your Dragon Con schedule.
Grab your cuppa and join us as we celebrate the fandoms, fandom culture, and community spirit that make Dragon Con feel like a global gathering.

  <description>Season 15 of The Dragon Con Report launches with a look back at where it all began.
In honor of Dragon Con’s 40th anniversary, Mike, Jen, and Channing are joined by longtime Dragon Con attendee Darin M. Bush, along with a bonus appearance from Marilyn Teague, to discuss what Dragon Con was like at its very first show and how it has grown and evolved over the past four decades.
From early days of a much smaller convention footprint to the massive, multi-hotel fan experience Dragon Con is known for today, this episode explores how fandom, community, and the con itself have changed while still holding on to the spirit that made Dragon Con special from the start. Along the way, the conversation is filled with personal memories, historical insight, and a whole lot of love for a fan-run convention that continues to define what Dragon Con is all about.
Whether you’re a decades-long attendee or gearing up for your first Dragon Con, this Season 15 premiere is the perfect way to celebrate forty years of cosplay, creativity, and community.

  <description>Dragon Con 2025 Debrief: Highlights, Hiccups, and Planning Ahead
Looking Back at Dragon Con 2025
Join Mike, Jen, and Channing as we sit down to reflect on Dragon Con 2025, sharing both the highlights and the hiccups from this year’s convention. From unforgettable events and standout moments to those small challenges every con-goer faces, we give an honest look back at our experiences.
Planning Ahead for Dragon Con 2026
But we’re not just looking back—we’re already planning ahead! We talk about prepping for Dragon Con 2026, what to expect when hotel booking season opens, and strategies to make sure you’re ready when reservations go live. Plus, we cover how attendees can rate their con experience through the official app and why your feedback matters for shaping future cons.

  <description>*SURPRISE! *
We couldn’t resist squeezing in one more episode before Dragon Con officially begins! 
Tiki Time with Horror in Clay
We're joined by Jonathan Chaffin from Horror in Clay &amp;amp; Inuhele, who is here to discuss the newly announced official Dragon Con tiki mug. For collectors and con-goers alike, this is sure to be one of the most talked-about souvenirs of the year. Jonathan will share the inspiration behind the design and what makes this mug such a special addition to Dragon Con tradition.
A Visit from the Classics Track
But that’s not all! Also joining us is none other than Joe Crowe from the American Sci-Fi Classics Track. Joe always brings his trademark energy, humor, and passion for all things retro sci-fi. He’ll be teasing even more of what fans can look forward to during Dragon Con, including panels, Manimal, and plenty of classic pop culture fun.
Don’t Miss This Last Episode Before Con
Whether you’re counting down the hours until you arrive at con or tuning in from home, this special episode will keep your excitement levels high. Expect insider details, laughs, and the kind of enthusiasm that makes the Dragon Con Report a fan favorite every season.

  <description>A Night of Music, Dance, and Fandom Fun
In this episode of The Dragon Con Report, we dive into some of the most exciting after-dark experiences at the convention. From nostalgic throwback parties to imaginative fantasy-themed events, Dragon Con truly has something for every fan who loves music, dancing, and unforgettable vibes.
Meet Our Guests
Joining us this month are three fantastic voices from Dragon Con’s vibrant nightlife and programming scene:
Kevin Cafferty, the creative force behind the 120 Minutes Party, brings the alternative, goth, and new wave sounds of the ’80s and ’90s back to life on the dance floor.
Rebecca Perry, better known as DJ for the High Fantasy 90s Goblin Ball, talks about weaving together mystical beats, fantasy-inspired themes, and pure dance energy.
Renee Cooper, representing the Animation, Anime, and Video Game Tracks, shares insight into the programming that keeps fans engaged from panels to parties.
What to Expect in This Episode
We explore how these events have grown over the years, what makes them unique, and how they each bring their own flavor to Dragon Con’s nightlife. Along the way, you’ll hear behind-the-scenes stories, tips for first-time party-goers, and why these celebrations are a highlight of the con.
Whether you love hitting the dance floor, immersing yourself in fantasy atmospheres, or just want to learn more about the culture of Dragon Con parties, this episode is packed with fun and fandom spirit.

  <description>In this episode of The Dragon Con Report, we suit up for a thrilling conversation with Laurence Lagnese, event coordinator for the Palmetto Knights!
Laurence shares insights into the world of armored combat and the rich pageantry of medieval mayhem that the Palmetto Knights bring to Dragon Con each year. We delve into the history and intensity of live steel combat, what it takes to compete in the Dragon's Cup, and why the Knight Fights have become a fan-favorite spectacle at the convention.
The Palmetto Knights is a nonprofit international sports team based out of South Carolina with various clubs in the southeast. This medieval fight team, which includes both men and women, focuses on the research and training to recreate the ancient art of Medieval and Renaissance foot combat. The highlight of the con is the Dragon’s Cup Tournament. Participants include other reenactment organizations, who also fight and compete across the USA and internationally. They will bring their real-world insight into the equipment so they can truly discuss and educate on how effective they were on the battlefield. Each year, we present an entertainment unlike no other as we draw from history to conduct an unchoreographed combat experience leveraging our expertise in battle effectiveness of tactics and weaponry.

As we close the curtain on Season 13 and prepare for an exciting 2025, it’s time to share our final episode of the year. And trust us—this one could be the most helpful episode yet!

First, let’s unpack the phenomenon. During Dragon Con, you’re immersed in a world of excitement, creativity, and connection. Once it’s over, returning to daily life can feel anticlimactic. This emotional shift, often described as a “con hangover,” is natural but challenging.
Recognizing these feelings is the first step toward overcoming them. Fortunately, there are ways to navigate the post-con letdown and maintain that con magic throughout the year.
Expert Guests to the Rescue
In this special episode, we’re bringing in two extraordinary guests to guide us through this journey:
Tyra Burton: A professor, podcaster, and social media expert, Tyra will share her wisdom on staying connected with the fandom community and keeping the spirit of Dragon Con alive year-round.
Amy Mikulski: As a licensed mental health and social work professional, Amy offers invaluable advice on managing emotions, practicing self-care, and building resilience between cons.
Their unique perspectives will help us find practical solutions for the post-con blues and inspire us to embrace the time between conventions.
How to Navigate the Post-Con Blues
Now that we know what we’re up against, let’s explore some strategies for overcoming these feelings:
Stay Connected: Keep in touch with the friends you made at Dragon Con through social media or meetups. Regular engagement can help bridge the gap until the next event.
Focus on Self-Care: Make time for rest, relaxation, and hobbies that bring you joy. A healthy mind and body can ease the transition back to everyday life.
Plan for Next Year: Use the energy from Dragon Con to start preparing for next year. Whether it’s designing a new cosplay or setting goals for panels to attend, having something to look forward to can be uplifting.
Why You Should Tune In
This episode is more than just a conversation—it’s a toolkit for handling the emotional rollercoaster of post-con life. With Tyra and Amy’s expertise, you’ll gain insights into how to:
Reframe the post-con experience positively.
Build a support network within the fandom community.
Embrace healthy coping mechanisms for emotional well-being.
By taking these steps, we can keep the Dragon Con spirit alive and look forward to the next adventure without losing our spark.
Join Us for the Finale of Season 13

    <![CDATA[<p><strong>Wrapping Up Season 13: An Episode You Won’t Want to Miss</strong></p>

<p>As we close the curtain on Season 13 and prepare for an exciting 2025, it’s time to share our final episode of the year. And trust us—this one could be the most helpful episode yet!</p>

<p>For many of us, Dragon Con is a highlight of the year. The energy, creativity, and camaraderie make it an unforgettable experience. However, when the weekend ends, it’s common to feel the weight of what’s often called Post-Con Blues or Post-Con Depression. That sense of loneliness, emptiness, or even longing for the next con can be tough to shake. So, how do we manage these feelings and thrive during the wait for the next Dragon Con?<br>

Plus, it’s never too early to start planning for 2025! Don’t panic—we’ve got tips to help you pace yourself through the prep and some veteran suggestions for snagging hotel rooms, even when it feels like all hope is lost. Tune in and keep that Dragon Con spirit going strong!
