Cracked Brain Podcast

I’m so glad that we finally made this episode happen. I met Kaela and Minh a few years ago at FanX. What started as a cosplayer run in, turned into a pretty good time years later. Minh, Kaela, Sherandra, and Stefan sit down in this episode to just have a fun geeky chat. A little cosplay, a lot of gaming, and more.

It’s about time that we get into the normal patterns for the podcast again. And I couldn’t think of another person better to do that with than someone that hasn’t been on the Podcast in a little while. Sage Fotu Male sits down on the Cracked Brain Podcast again; and this time we’re actually in chairs. It’s been a bit over a year and quite a bit has happened for both of us. We chat about Sage getti...

Every now and then I think it’s fun to put up a bonus episode. And this time we’re going to do a full episode from our Patreon exclusive podcast “Do You Even Nerd Brah?” (DYENB).

Well this particular episode will be sure to stick with quite a few people. The members of the cosplay group “Salt Lake Super Friends”, which includes Stephan, are the people on this particular episode. We thought it was quite fitting that we get together before attending Snake River Fandom Con in Pocatello, ID. This group is comprised of cosplayers that most local to the Salt Lake area would quic...

I am so happy that this episode was finally done. Tilley has been an awesome person to get to know over the last few years. A random chance run-in

Salt Lake FanX is behind us, so we can take a rest right? Well some of us can anyway. But let’s take a moment to look back over the weekend to remember some of the things we enjoyed. It was a bummer not seeing nearly as many people in attendance, but sometimes you need to make the best of a negative situation. RachieMac joins me again to recount the weekend experiences. Panels, walking around, cos...

With this being the Cracked Brain Cosfit month, I think it's fitting to have a representative of the fitness community be on an episode. Jasmine Elliott, or what she has become known to many Atom Bomb Body , joins me on the Podcast.
