Re: Older Media Logistics...

I have no memory before 1980, but I've met people who used to make audio recordings of Star Trek TOS episodes (like, just set up a tape player with the microphone near the TV speaker) and listen to the recordings. In fact, I think I read something by Lois McMaster Bujold (not one of the people I've met) where she describes having to miss an episode of Star Trek for some reason and a friend's sister or someone made an audio tape for her and then kind of mimed/explained what was going in the episode while they played back the tape and I thought that was absolutely adorable.

As for interacting with other fans, there were cons (I used to go to cons as a kid long before I ever had any internet fandom interaction) and things like letter columns in comics and magazines.

My mom recorded some TOS eps like that!

And that old fan habit is the reason we have audio for early Doctor Who eps that were destroyed by the BBC. They burned the tapes and then regretted it decades later when the show became really popular and home video was a thing, so the audio recordings made by fans is all there is of some eps. (They made animated versions of a few episodes in recent years, reconstructing from set pictures and fan-recorded audio!)

My mom also did stuff like this. She was a huge Dorothy L. Sayers fan, and recorded several of the 1970s tv serials-- "The Nine Tailors" for sure, and I think "Murder Must Advertise." She also had the soundtrack record for "Sleuth" (lots of Cole Porter), and that had big chunks of dialogue that she can now recite on cue.
