Nerdy Show

"Loneliness is lonely." Someone famous probably said that once... And so, Cap has once again violated the solo mission sanctity of ALL CAPS. Our illustrious, chromatic poddess (that's short for "podcast goddess") is joined by their oldest pal, and Nerdy Show / Dungeons & Doritos cohort, Colin Peterson. Learn about formative childhood experiences at long gone roller rinks and ominous dreams. He...

It's lonely in the void, so Cap's reaching out to get touched... by someone. Yes, the lines are open and your chromatic operator is doing an AMA the old fashioned way: with telephones. There's no telling what'll happen - including surprise guest appearances! Cap gets a turducken-themed song challenge from Marc With a C, chats with amazing illustrator and new Lightning Dogs collaborator, Kempo Corn...

Brace yourselves for a re-CAP of all the podcastery whatnot Cap has been up to. A Willow vision quest turns into philosophical musings on pop culture obsession. Will curiosity kill the Cap? Can their insatiable lust for knowledge ever be sated? Is progesterone all it's cracked up to be? Is forever friendship a fiction or fact? All-consuming questions abound before giving way to an exploration of t...

PREVIOUSLY! ON NERDY SHOW... The gang had a good laugh about skeleton soup . But enough of that. Let's get serious... SERIOUSLY AWESOME. In lieu of a regularly scheduled episode, you're getting an over-indulgence of your host with the most, Cap. It's no surprise they've got a lot of things on their mind, but there's one thing of paramount importance. The fate of the world might hang in the balance...

We love food here on Nerdy Show - and drinks too! Sometimes we talk about rare and unusual sodas, but in this episode we're pursuing the ultimate specialty drinks. These beverages have been secreted away in the deepest recesses, but we'll drink them - some way, some how. Neither inter-planetary travel or prime directive bleeding hearts can stop us from making first contact with our pursed lips. An...

Frag heads and nose nerds unite, and get a whiff of this totally ripe episode! We're joined by a former Nerdy Show host-turned-fragrance expert, Kristin West, aka Beauty Meow, who gives us the lowdown on the olfactory arts. Kristin doles out oud -les of stinky facts and answers our ignorant questions about the art of stank. Are you DTF? (Down to fragrance). We also talk about the new RoboCop proje...

Throw your average summer film reviews in the garbage! Or, since they're probably online, CTRL-A, CTRL-C, CTRL-P, and then analogue delete those suckers into a recycling bin. Why? Because Nerdy Show 's Hollywood hot takes offer above-adequate cinematic insights, cool comic lore critiques, and weapons-grade tomfoolery. Join Cap, boR, and Brandon as we review Ant-Man and the Wasp, Marvel's latest of...

"Podcasts rain from above!" Live at North Carolina Comicon, Cap speaks with voice actor, Jen Cohn, voice of Overwatch 's Pharah.

Sometimes Brandon gets angry and unleashes his rage on the unsuspecting masses. Does he need to be on meds?

Oh, but there’s so much more! Come follow us down the volcano hole of horrible t...

Join cap, boR, Brandon, and Trench as we share our thoughts on Solo: A Star Wars Story, Deadpool 2 , and Avengers: Infinity War , including genuine opinions and also outright lies. But, dear friends, every nerd podcast and their mom's i...

Moogfest is a festival unlike any other. One part TED Talk, one part that record you discovered in college that blew your mind; the event’s dual focus of Future Thought and Future Sound has made it a beacon for discerning artists, festivalgoers... and Nerdy Show for six years running. During the day, theatres, classrooms, and workspaces are filled with lectures and workshops led by artificial inte...

It's no secret: Nerdy Show loves food. And we get up to some weird, weird adventures with both eating AND making food. So, when we got a listener request to talk about Iron Chef - naturally we wanted to do far more than talk about the beloved Japanese cooking contest... we wanted to actually do it. Unfortunately our eyes were bigger than our stomach. Hear Cap, Jon, and Chrystal share plans for a "...

Our present is the future - and the future is a beautiful pandemonium of science so surreal that even the strangest jokes can come true. Like what, you ask? Tesla coils at a hockey game, vitamins for frogs flavored like bugs, swarms of drones foiling the FBI, squid beak meta-material being used to make bras. Which of those are real and which of those are Nerdy Show discussions gone awry? Find out...

Once upon a time there was a short-lived era of gaming based specifically around empowering the user to create. The era of Mario Paint - a console game that came with a mouse, explained how to interface with your VCR, and had full illustration, music, and animation suites... all for the Super Nintendo. It's the best-known, but it wasn't alone. In this episode, Cat, Brandon, and Jon team up with Fa...

After vacations, business trips, interviews, conventions, and other mayhem - Nerdy Show 's hosts are back in the studio catching up with each other and what's been going down in the nerd world.

Mutagen Man, Wyrm, The Pizza Thrower, The Utroms, Cudley the Cowlick... The Ninja Turtles are super weird - Awesomely unusual. IDW TMNT writers Tom Waltz and Erik Burnham are joined by Nerdy Show 's Cap to celebrate the legacy of Ninja Turtles and the series' myriad mutations across all continuities.

In the distant future there is only THE GAME. Do you have what it takes to pulverize all the other mutants, magical girls, cyborgs, and wasteoidz? Can you master the ballz? Enter: Ballmastrz: 9009, the new series from Superjail 's Christy Karacas. Whereas Superjail 's animation drank deep from the acid-laced waters of 60s and 70s Western animation, this new series pulls heavy from the anime well....

Here at Nerdy Show , we know how to make our stories come to life by taking matters into our own hands with audio dramas and comic books... but what about books? That's right, prose - sentences, paragraphs, chapters - strung into bound volumes be they physical or digital; how do you break into that scene? To help us solve this quandary, Cap and Bad Storytellers / Ghostbusters: Resurrection 's Josh...

There IS such thing as a tesseract. A notion we take for granted here in the 21st century, but one that in 1962 made some waves - especially when it was the central focus of a children's book. Madeline L'Engle's sci-fi classic, A Wrinkle in Time , for all its hard sci-fi mixed with metaphysical fantasy, has been near-impossible to adapt in its 50+ years - but can the full weight of Disney's specia...

What makes a "Western"? Is it the arid landscape of 1800s America? Is it the hats? Or is it something more? ...Some kind of "true grit", if you will, that gets into the boots of a story and chafes at the characters' collective psyches? In this listener-requested Microsode we might not be able to provide answers to the Big Questions in this Big Country, but we'll certainly dole out as many musings...

Time to get serious folks. Sometimes a single piece of pop culture sweeps in and sidelines an entire discussion - brushing aside all the idle chatter of the latest video game whatnot, ill-advised parody erotica, and dreams of a virtual future where theme park rides never die. Yeah, that stuff is here too. But mostly in this episode we talk about Duncan Jones' sci-fi film, Mute . Join Cap, boR, Bra...
