Jon and Leigh are joined by the one-and-only Eternal Zan, a fan-favorite resource and longtime Dragon Con attendee who has been helping attendees navigate the con for years.

You can plan everything down to the minute, but Dragon Con is going to throw you a curveball. The trick isn’t to fight it - it’s to lean into the chaos and make those surprise moments part of your story.

Jon and Leigh suit up with Karen and James from Dragon Con’s Military Sci-Fi Media Track to talk about all the out-of-this-world programming coming in 2025.

They started as the Stargate track, but as Military Sci-Fi fandom’s grew - so have they.

Covering Babylon 5, Firefly, The Orville, Halo… and so much more!

Jon and Leigh welcome Beau Brown and Brodrick Jones for an inside look at the Puppetry Track.
From the Puppet Slam to panels with Dave Goelz (Gonzo!) and more - this year’s puppetry programming runs the spectrum from kid-friendly fun to late-night adult weirdness.

Some of the best Dragon Con memories happen off the con floor - sharing a peach cobbler at Mary Mac’s or riding the Ferris Wheel with a bunch of Jedi.
It’s not just about where you eat - it’s about who’s at the table.

In this episode, Jon and Leigh chat with Dr. Vaughn, assistant director of the Dragon Con Science Track. Vaughn literally wrote his PhD dissertation on Dragon Con.

“We turn science into a shared fandom. It’s weird. It’s messy. And it’s beautiful.”

Sue from the Science Fiction Literature Track joins Leigh and Jon to unpack the galactic smorgasbord of panels, authors, and literary nerdery headed to Dragon Con 2025. This year’s spotlight is on military science fiction, but as Sue explains, that’s just a launchpad into a multiverse of storytelling styles - from hard science to space fantasy.

In this episode of 50 Days of Dragon Con, Leigh and Jon welcome Beth, director of the Silk Road Track, for a tour of one of the con’s most vibrant cultural showcases.
The Silk Road Track connects the ancient and the modern—from martial arts and Godzilla screenings to four-hour K-pop dance parties and K-drama panels,

"We’re not just sharing culture—we’re building a community, one origami frog and blinky flower crown at a time."

They are the emergency broadcast system of Dragon Con.
If it gets canceled, moves or combusts - they’re the ones on the scene!
From real-time schedule changes to shoutouts and other con magic, the Daily Dragon has it covered.
