We had the opportunity to speak with international sensation, Beci Bombshell on her Cosplay platform, and the many ins and outs of Cosplay - how it has shaped for her over the years, what she's working on now, and how she's found connection through Cosplay.

With hundreds of Cosplays created over the years, Beci is a veteran of what goes into every aspect of creating and re-creating moments in fandom.  From her very favorites to ongoing and upcoming events, Beci takes us through her story and online spaces that make Cosplay enjoyable, fun, and builds up confidence and connections. We're very excited to have her as a guest on the show!

Fun seems to be a word that is less and less associated with Cosplay.  Fortunately, today’s guest reminds us that if you’re not having fun, it’s not really Cosplay. My next guest has no limits to her creativity, and there’s no Cosplay that can’t be made and made for the joy of creating a character. She’ll tell you that sometimes it takes being someone else to really be yourself.  Lifelong creator and Cosplayer, putting the Play in Cosplay, in this episode we're talking to the talented creator of the Cosparlor, a fun and helpful space for Cosplayers to visit, share, and learn inside of the Community.

Cosplay is a Community, but it also works inside of the community at large.

You may understand this very well, but I wanted to spend an episode talking about the ties to the community that we have and what it means to wear the Cosplay for that community and for the Cosplay Community at large.

When you put on the Cosplay, for everything you put into it - all the details, the time, the money, the energy - make that Cosplay matter.

I'm proud to introduce my next guest on the Cast, Dom Charland, such a remarkable individual in everything he does inside and outside of Cosplay.  Listen in for his insights, stories, and hear about the events and massive collaborations that he has orchestrated with the New York Avengers and many others.

A true hero in all he does, and an example for Con-goers and Cosplayers everywhere, Dom explains his why on Cosplay and that it goes so far beyond generating the likes and follows online.  It's about support, helping others, and being able to share something within the community.

In this episode, I talk about the impact you can make with Cosplay. This is optional. Cosplay is for everyone, and it's not a requirement that putting on the superhero costume means you have to be an actual superhero.

What I mean is, you have an opportunity to make a positive impact with what you've chosen to do. There are many ways to express this, to reach out to the community, and create change. It doesn't mean being an advocate or pushing an agenda. It's truly finding something that you stand behind and for and using what you create in Cosplay as a way to support that.

I'll talk about different ways you can to that, and of course one of the reasons I create this podcast is to reach out to you in CosplayLand to make a difference in what you do - to help in some small way solve a problem for you.
