First Things is proud to introduce a new podcast series. Secret Third Thing is a show about contemporary culture. First Things editors Virginia Aabram and Germán S. Díaz del Castillo discuss modern, online trends. Are they good, bad, or a secret third thing?
In this first episode, First Things deputy editor Veronica Clarke joins Virginia and Germán to discuss fanfiction—its history, its impact, its infiltration of the publishing industry, whether it should be classified as pornography, and what its popularity says about Gen Z.
