Niki Williams (Nickelodeon, DreamWorks, Indigo Ink.) knows the responsibility of being someone’s first fandom. This episode of Authenticated is where Kate and Niki discuss how to keep the integrity of storytelling intact in a media space becoming more performative.
Niki spent the 2020s figuring out how to entertain children. Now she is navigating the realities of entertaining new generations devoid of kids’ monoculture: no shared Saturday morning, no Monday morning playground debrief, and a generation plagued with the option of a moment being public begin within arms reach.
Niki outlines the formula of first fandom and the result of what it does (it sets your values, with PAW Patrol pups, Harry Potter houses, and orphan superheroes as the mirrors to see yourself in). Kate and Niki touch on the cost of every interaction being monetized.
Kate's hunch is that authenticity is defined through time invested. Niki from ”editing” and trying things on to see what fits. Both approaches to examine what it means to treat AI, the binge, and every new tool as ”a tool” rather than an answer.
This episode is an opportunity to reflect on what you consume without performing it, and what your own play pattern says about the stories you inherited. It is a conversation talking first fandoms in children’s media, sharing a friendship that get's more authentic with every hour spent, and examining the choice to give the slow, awkward thing more room than it's fast alternative.
This episode is the first of a series opposite Niki Williams as they build a new venture together. More soon!
