In this “What’s your favorite fandom?” episode of Fan Effect, we boldly go into the universe of Star Trek. KellieAnn Halvorsen is joined by fellow Trekkies KSL NewsRadio’s Heather Kelly and Heroic charity cosplayer Eric Allan Hall. For nearly 60 years, Star Trek has inspired generations of fans to not just reach for new scientific frontiers but to explore different cultures and possibilities. This conversation delves into what makes the series so far-reaching and long-lasting, why it is important to individuals, and how to get into the fandom if it seems a bit too daunting.
The brains behind Fan Effect are connoisseurs of categories surpassing nerdy with a goal to publish a weekly "What to Watch on the Weekend" minisode taken from KSL-TV's Friday segment, and two deep-dives a month on shows, creative works, artists, local events, and other fandom topics.
Based in the beautiful beehive state, Fan Effect celebrates Utah's unique fan culture as it has been declared The Nerdiest State in America by TIME, and is hosted by KSL Movie Show's Andy Farnsworth and KSL Podcasts' KellieAnn Halvorsen.

Fan Effect
Beyond Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Gaming and Tech, the brains behind Fan Effect are connoisseurs of categories surpassing the nerdy. Brilliant opinions and commentary on all things ‘geek’, but surprising knowledge and witty arguments over pop culture, Star Trek, MARVEL vs DC, and a wide range of movies and TV shows.
