Nerd Podcast Radio - Your Nerd Home Away from Home

We're back for 2024! After having a nice holiday break, David and Brian returned to have a fantastic chat about holidays and holiday traditions.

David, Erica, Brian, and Holly got together to celebrate our 250th episode of Nerd Podcast Radio...but first, we played everyone's favorite game, What's Nerdy with You? for the entire episode. Also, we had a surprise Brent Bowser!

In this episode we talked a lot about creative burnout and real life interfering with creativity. It was a raw episode and required a lot of vulnerability and soul searching. It's a bit different than our normal content. I hope you enjoy, please give feedback.

Three podcast hosts stumble their way through a conversation that spans topics such as "Baldurs Gate 3" to the politics of the LGBTQ movement and why does Stolas get so many days celebrating them? It's not fair! Note - Brian was not present for these shenanigans.

Last time it was Silly or Serious. This time David and Brian play Love or HATE.

The original plan was to talk about tabletop roleplaying games but it quickly changed to all games, especially video. It was a fun time.

This was the opposite of the budgeting episode. Erica, David, and Brian discussed what we spend our money on when we don't have to. Apologies, there were some editing technical difficulties with this episode. Time travel may have been involved

Behold the joy of chaos! Listen to 3 punch drunk podcast hosts struggling to stay on topic. We were all pretty much exhausted but I think it created something quite good. The goal was to do an episode about cooking. I think we talked about that at least a little bit. Enjoy the chaos.

Brian, David, and Erica discuss what is the difference between horror movies and other movies. How do you make a good one? Is it the same as any story or movie? Lots of great discussion here. I hope you enjoy.

Some episodes have topics. This episode on the other hand has something very different. But first...

Erica, David, and Brian were having an amazing discussion about the effect of Pop Culture on society for good or bad when we were invaded by some amazing guests! What a good and chaotic time we had being podcasters.

Mental Health and Nerd Culture go hand and hand both for positive and negative. We discussed this with a special guest host, Indie comic writer, Corissa Grant joined us and we had a deep discussion about mental health and the positive and negative aspects of nerd culture.

Part 3 of our informal 5 part nerd culture series. David and Brian are a duo in this week's episode where they discuss speculative science of science fiction, fantasy, games, and more.

We've been doing an informal 5 part series on nerd culture. This episode is part 2 where we discuss the future of nerd culture including trends and predictions. We discuss the effect of technology on nerd culture and the difference between the future of tech and trends. We also have some spirited arguments over Brian's perceived upbringing. Great times were had. :) Hosts: Brian, David, Erica

David and Brian try to dig deep into their brains and have a discussion about the history of nerd culture. This is part one in a series where we dig deep into our knowledge of nerd culture and have a fun discussion.

What the heck happened? Super Vegan Brian isn't here, didn't set a zoom call and he's not answering is phone. I guess we have to record without him. WTF are we talking about?

With David at Faire, Stolas and Brian did our first duo episode in a really long time. We decided to play Silly or Serious again but this time pertaining to Animation. Growing up with things like Disney afternoon and Sponge Bob leads to some great ideas for conversation both silly and serious. Production notes: Brian got solar panels which killed the power to his editing computer for several days....

How do nerds afford to do nerdy things? How do you budget a convention? We bring on Jay, who teaches us fundamentals of all sorts of personal finance. We also talk about all the nerdy crap we've bought over the years.

Join Brian, Erica, and David for an episode filled with laughs and thought provoking discussions. In this episode the team plays a game of serious or silly, tackling a variety of topics that range from the absurd to the insightful. Tune in for a fun-filled episode that's sure to leave you thinking and smiling.

We are back after a bit of delay due to cold season. Is making friends hard? How do you make friends as an adult? How did you make the friends you have now? Why is it easy for kids? Erica, Brian, and David discuss this topic as well as the usual widget stuff. Note from the Widgets: "Our time will come."

This episode is an exploration of technology starring Brian, David, Stolas, and (drum roll) the Rusty Nail! No buckets in this episode, I think we covered that enough last time. Mushrooms were brought up in the context of technology though. There were some deep dives in this one and a surprise guest host. Oh yeah, we talked about technology sans buckets.

Stolas, Brian, and David don't kick the bucket as they make a bucket list of topics that you could fit in a bucket. You wouldn't believe the kind of things that could fit in a container like this. What was I saying? oh yeah, they talked about unusual hobbies.

One of the best friends of the podcast,Odin Abbot, from the Odin Makes Youtube Channel joined us to talk about....well we didn't have a topic because we were so excited to have Odin back we forgot to come up with one. So Brian, David, and Erica talked with Odin about stuff including some parrot stories. Lots of nerdy fun was had. Odin's Info Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/OdinMakes Youtube - ht...

It's ironic that we did an episode on Travel. Super Vegan Brian was forced to make an unexpected trip due to a family emergency and couldn't get this episode out on time but he's back and it's out! Stolas, David, and Brian discuss travel whether it be for fun or profit. This is the travel episode.

DM Sarah (@The_DM_Sarah) and Fantasy Cartographer Anna Meyer (@anna_b_meyer) joined Stolas, Erica, David, and Brian to talk about the recent controversy with Wizards of the Coast updating the open gaming license which can affect Dungeons and Dragons forever.
