Hooray for CoNZealand Fringe
Monday, August 3rd, 2020 02:30 pmCoNZealand Fringe was a project of many genre-fiction fan communities, including book tubers, online-zinesters and podcasters.
In the tradition of Edinburgh Fringe and other international collateral events, CoNZealand Fringe has been created as a complementary programming series to the annual science fiction convention Worldcon. All our livestreams take place outside core CoNZealand programming hours and are not official CoNZealand programming items. CoNZealand Fringe is not endorsed by CoNZealand.

CoNZealand Fringe YouTube Playlist
Autocraptioned, but YT is closed to 97% than 90% with these particular speakers.
Media queries were directed to Claire Rousseau, Adri Joy, Alasdair Stuart and Marguerite Kenner, Cheryl Morgan and Cassie Hart, so I assume they ran the show. I was impressed by the smoothness of their panels -- the mods were well prepared, they started on time, they handled the time-zone issue more deftly than the official WorldCon. I'm sure that WorldCon planning is like steering a battleship: these folks were a racing catamaran.
