The 2026 Dragon Con Report Episode 3: The Brits Are Coming!

🇬🇧 Welcome to the Brit Side of Dragon Con

Dragon Con is a global celebration of fandom, and this episode of The Dragon Con Report proves you don’t need a passport to cross the Atlantic.

This time, we’re joined by Caro and Rob from the Brit Track, one of the convention’s most distinctive and delightfully quirky programming tracks.


🎭 What Is Brit Track, Anyway?

If you’ve ever wandered into a panel filled with sharp wit, deep-cut references, and a room that somehow feels like equal parts pub and fandom think tank, you’ve likely experienced Brit Track.

During our conversation, Caro and Rob break down what defines the track, from British television and film to literature, comedy, and cultural touchstones that have shaped fandom worldwide.


☕ From Tea Time to Prime Time

Next, we explore how Brit Track curates its programming each year.

From beloved staples like Doctor Who and classic comedies to newer hits and hidden gems, Brit Track balances nostalgia with discovery. Along the way, we also get a peek behind the curtain at how panels are selected and what goes into building a schedule that keeps fans coming back year after year.


🎤 Why Fans Keep Coming Back

So what makes Brit Track such a fan favorite?

As it turns out, it’s not just the subject matter. It’s the atmosphere. There’s a sense of humor, inclusivity, and community that gives the track its own unique identity within Dragon Con. Whether you’re a lifelong Anglophile or just stumbling in out of curiosity, there’s always something to enjoy.


🎉 What to Expect This Year

Of course, we couldn’t let Caro and Rob go without teasing what’s ahead.

From can’t-miss panels to returning favorites and a few surprises, Brit Track continues to evolve while staying true to its roots. If you’re planning your Dragon Con schedule, this is one track you won’t want to overlook.


🎧 Tune In and Join the Conversation

So grab your favorite beverage, settle in, and join us for a lively conversation about British fandom, Dragon Con traditions, and the people who make it all happen.
