Send us Fan MailEpisode 250 of Nerdery & Murdery is live, and this week we flip the script with another Wife Swap episode.On the Nerdery side, Geoffrey takes over and dives into Genesis, focusing on the band's evolution after Peter Gabriel's departure. From A Trick of the Tail to Duke, Invisible Touch, and We Can't Dance, we explore how Genesis transformed from progressive rock pioneers into one of the biggest stadium acts in the world. Along the way, we talk about Phil Collins stepping into the spotlight, the shift from epic suites to chart-topping hits, and a personal memory from the 1992 Irving, Texas show during The Way We Walk tour. On the Murdery side, Zig steps into the darker side of history with the Armenian Genocide. Beginning in the spring of 1915 and continuing into 1916, the Ottoman Empire carried out a systematic campaign of deportation, violence, and mass death against the Armenian population. The events remain one of the most devastating humanitarian tragedies of the early 20th century.A band reinventing itself across decades on one side.A historical tragedy that reshaped lives and nations on the other.Just another week of the Nerd and the Murd.Support the show

Tänane pops, välja arvatud kolm lugu, on retro. Kavas on mitmeid originaale ja tõlgendusi väga hea laulukirjutaja Agu Tammeoru sulest – ka selliseid, mida teatakse vähem, suisa avastamata aardeid. Silvi Vrait on samuti prožektorivihus. Tähistame, aga kahjuks juba lahkujatele järele hüüdes. On ka muid pärleid tolmunud riiulitelt, mille lööme taas meie saates särama.
Our last episode was a Previews episode, and so is this one! How about them apples?

Täna on raadiosaates Eesti Pops külaline. Pikki aastaid rasket alternatiivroki vagu kündnud Valter Nõmm. Inimkonda erutavast uuest kuureisist me ei räägi, aga uuest Fuzzolini albumist küll. Teema on juba põhjalikult läbi käinud Siim Nestori usutluses Delfi kultuuriportaalis ja Eesti Ekspressis, seega anname ruumi ka muule.Vaatame ajas tagasi ja kuulame valikut neist umbes 15 kollektiivist, mille koosseisudes on Valter kujundanud kodumaise alternatiivmuusika ajalugu.
Send us Fan MailWelcome to another week of the highs and the lows, the ups and the downs, the good and the bad, and the Nerd and the Murd.This week on Nerdery & Murdery, the Nerdery leads off as Zig dives into the origins of one of science fiction's most enduring franchises, covering Planet of the Apes and Beneath the Planet of the Apes. From Cold War anxieties to bold social commentary, Zig explores how these films reshaped sci-fi storytelling and left a legacy that still resonates today.On the Murdery side, we take a different approach with a paired episode examining the deaths of Tamla Horsford and Shanquella Robinson. These are two separate cases, years apart and in different locations, but they share troubling similarities in how quickly explanations were offered and how many questions were left behind.This episode isn't about speculation or assigning guilt. It's about process, transparency, and why some cases continue to surface long after they are officially closed.Support the show
By the skin of our teeth, it's Previews! And if the month is March still, this totally counts as the May 2026 catalogs, am I right? Damn skippy.

Patsiendi tervis on hea – kõik näitajad on normis, isegi üle keskmise. Nii võiks iseloomustada tänase kodumaise muusika hetkeolukorda.

Send us Fan MailWelcome to another week of the highs and the lows, the ups and the downs, the good and the bad, and the Nerd and the Murd.This week on Nerdery & Murdery, the Nerdery comes first as Zig kicks off Part 1 of Country and Western music, perfectly summed up with the line: “We got BOTH kinds: Country AND Western.” From early roots to defining sounds, this is the start of a deep dive into the music that shaped generations.On the Murdery side, we continue our A–Z journey across America's serial killers, moving from Alaska to Alabama.This episode examines the case of Joseph Paul Franklin, an ideologically driven serial killer whose crimes spanned multiple states. Rather than focusing on where his story ended, we look at where it began, and how early acts of violence, treated as isolated and random, allowed something far more dangerous to grow unnoticed.Support the show

Send us a textWelcome to another week of the highs and the lows, the good and the bad, and the Nerd and the Murd.This week on Nerdery and Murdery, Zig explores the darker side of music with a deep dive into gothy-ish, doom-metally, darkwave-inspired sounds. From brooding atmospheres to heavy emotional weight, we talk about what defines these genres, why they resonate with so many listeners, and how darkness in music can be just as expressive as light.Then in the Murdery segment, Geoffrey covers the chilling story of Mary Ann Cotton, one of history's earliest and most disturbing serial poisoners. It is a case rooted in deception, tragedy, and the slow unraveling of a horrifying pattern, told with care and historical context.Moody music. Dark history. One unforgettable episode.Support the show
