Fear of a Ghost Planet was launched in 2011 by Paul Arrand Rodgers, who originally blogged about popular culture at Careful with that Blog, Eugene. Fear of a Ghost Planet was envisioned as an expansion of that project and several others, a venue for the discussion of film, professional wrestling, comic books, and more—every corner of culture that is of interest to the author.

Paul Arrand Rodgers is currently pursuing an PhD in English Literature from the University of Georgia. Originally from Dearborn, Michigan, Paul now resides in Athens, Georgia.
