Fan Effect

In this special Fan(X) Effect episode of our podcast, FanX founder Dan Farr teases all things for the 2024 event, including a major celebrity announcement. Farr takes us into the September 26th—28th event at the Salt Palace Convention Center; to be stuffed to the brim with pop culture fun, celebrity appearances and panels, vendors, authors, artists, cosplayers, contests, KidKon, and more! This includes the just-announced Mel Gibson, who will head to Salt Lake for his first-ever convention. If you haven't bought your tickets, the time is now as celebrity photo ops are filling up and include meeting celebrities like Elijah Wood, Cole Sprouse, Anthony Daniels, Susan Sarandon, and Levar Burton. This episode is hosted by Andy Farnsworth and cohosted by Dan Spindle of KSL TV fame.
