The maiden voyage! This past week (May 29-June 5), I binged season one of The Orphans from the Nerdy Show Network and two episodes of King Falls AM (two episodes isn't "binging" but you get the idea). This week, the season two finale of The Bright Sessions. There's a lot of hype and #feels revolving around episode 24. Will it be the third audio drama to make me cry? Tune in next week to find out! Also possible spoilers for the Orphans first season. I don't know. What is a spoiler anyway? Probably should've led with that. Whoops. Stats courtesy of Breaker. Their stats may be off, but I enjoy the social aspect and personal listening stats of their podcast app for iOS... or maybe I just didn't include an episode of a show. My guess is Starlight Radio Dreams or another King Falls AM episode. #NotASponsor.

With this, the brave boys n girls of FNF finish that koopalings fic. After that concludes (for what it's worth that we can call it concluded, it ended on a terrible note and it wasn't really an ending), Val gets to read a wonderfully short Scott Pilgrim trollfic.

With Season 5 concluded, so does our tenure with Nerdy Show Network. I want to take this time to once again extend many thanks to them for hosting us and giving us a place to live during our formative Seasons.

Folks, we know we don’t always set a good example. But that’s what we’re here for! Let us make mistakes, so you don’t have to. We have no shame, we have no sense of decency, we just have strong opinions about pop culture and very little restraint. Case in point: sometimes we put things in our bodies that we really, really shouldn’t. Or, as you’ll soon find out, sometimes Brandon gives a special friend an unforgettable Hanukkah.In this episode, Cap, boR, and Brandon get back to basics with sci-tech, video games, and television shows – where there’s startling discoveries all around – such as the awesomeness of Happy! and Dragon Ball Fighter Z. We give updates on how Star Trek Discovery and The Good Place are sitting with us, discuss mysterious rumors of a Diablo Quatro, share some big forthcoming changes for The Nerdy Show Network, and *gasp* learn that one of Brandon’s lies turned out to be true!For links and more info, head to the main episode page:https://nerdyshow.com/2018/01/nerdy-show-301-dont-be-a-brandon/Learn more about your ad choices.

In our last episode, we celebrated the 10 year anniversary of the Nerdapalooza festival, the first iteration of which happened in 2007 - but we only told one side of the story. This time around, we're talking to Rob Tobias, the main coordinator of Nerdapalooza 2007 in Florida, as well as Magitek, a Florida hip hop group that performed at said event.

Let's face it, nerdy music would hardly exist if it weren't for nostalgia. So let's get nostalgic this episode - because it's been 10 years since the first Nerdapalooza!In this episode, Marc With a C talks to the face of Nerdapalooza, John "Hex" Carter, about one of the most important milestones in the history of the nerd music genre. Yes, this beloved music festival is now old enough to look back on. Time just flies by doesn't it? I They look back on the formative years of the earliest fests bearing this hallowed name, while we traipse through some of those early tunes from those bygone days - sandwiched by a couple of new nerdy jams for good measure!

Before there was "reality TV" there was Shock Treatment - a side-step sequel to The Rocky Horror Picture Show that confounded fans and slipped in under moviegoers' radars in 1981. No sweet transvestites here, just Brad and Janet trapped in a televised torture chamber that looks eerily like America in the 21st century. The film faded into obscurity, where it would've languished were it not for some die-hard fans, among them the lo-fi musician and familiar voice here on The Nerdy Show Network, Marc With A C. In this episode, Marc and Cap share everything you need to know about this hidden gem of b-movie musicals: the actor strike that led to massive changes in the plot, the fandom that re-discovered it, and the weird story of how Marc's just for fun covers of the songs turned into a beloved piece of the Shock Treatment legacy (now being pressed on vinyl to coincide with the Blu-ray release). We also have a Rocky Horror bombshell to drop as Marc's journey to license these songs shed some light on the long-rumored, often-denied follow-up film, Revenge of the Old Queen.

The Nerdy Show Network’s flagship podcast unloads on the latest geek news and happenings – and in this case all the greatest geeky happenings of the year! We're not going to beat around the bush, 2016 has been a mess. But in spite of tragedies, loss, and injustice aplenty, there's been some spectacular achievements and innovations; from high science, to the most popcorn of pop culture, and everything in-between. That's what our annual Top 20 Nerdy Things list is all about: counting down the best, geekiest people, places, achievements, media, and more that the year has to offer and ranking them with the only measurement of any relevance left on this forsaken rock: nerdiness. Join Cap and Jess along with a rotating cast of faces from around The Nerdy Show Network (Doug, Jon, Brandon, Aaron, La Valle, Oral, Max, and Briggs) as we cast arbitrary and subjective judgements on topical geekitudes. We share all the deets and feels on what made this collection of cultural oddities shine amidst this bleak year, say goodbye to our favorite celebrities, and even award a few superlatives to some fine specimens that didn't make the Top 20 cut. If you find yourself lost and looking for meaning, these tremendously awesome happenings just might restore your faith in humanity.

What did the gang think of Marvel's first foray into the mystic arts with Doctor Strange? Is Skyrim's re-release worth your hard-earned dough? How do Titanfall and Dishonored's sequels measure up to their predecessors? Is any surprise that Tony's bony ass thought the 90s comedy Heavyweights was a laugh-filled romp? (It isn't.)

The Nerdy Show Network’s flagship podcast unloads on the latest geek news and happenings! We live in an age of reboots and reimaginings. ...We're kind of exhausted of it, really.

The Nerdy Show Network’s flagship podcast unloads on the latest geek news and happenings! Nothing like some '89 Batman quotes to adequately sum up our transition from "Fart Box" to present. We're backed up with pop culture nonsense and other mental ephemera, so it's time to clean house. After all, "when you've gotta go - go with a smile." We'll stop. This isn't even a poopy episode, we swear. There's no Brandon in sight! Join Cap, boR, and Doug as we recount a recent RPG adventure with Fiasco - the game about making absurd, collaborative movies.

The Nerdy Show Network’s flagship podcast unloads on the latest geek news and happenings! We wanted to be upfront in that this episode of Nerdy Show is not unlike a box full of farts. Now, maybe that's problematic for you. But before you turn up (or pinch) your nose and walk away, we want to remind you that farts are only natural. Nature's stinky wink, if you will. Sly, but charming. Plus, you know that the box contains farts - but that might not be all that's in the box. It could, for example, contain a review of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, some chat about the Pokémon Trading Card Game Online and other Poké-news, predictions of which 90s comedies are destined to get unnecessary third installments, or maybe just good, ol' fashioned laughs. So join Cap, boR, Nicky, and Brandon as we unbox the flatulent fun. Brandon reports on his vacation and the Smithsonians he collected, Cap shares a recent TV show crush, boR voices a new batch of unpopular opinions, and Nicky strikes it rich with a childhood obsession. It's all here. Just tongue punch "play" for an earful of fun.

Every other week, The Nerdy Show Network‘s flagship podcast pours over the latest geek news and happenings! Great Scott! It's October 21st, 2015! You know, the future? Well look, we might be 15 Jaws movies short of perfection, but at least the much-prophesied future brought you Nerdy Show, right? At least we're not living a multi-national lie of shadow governments controlled by lizard people, right? That would be absurd.

You may remember when we spoke to them about their debut record Deities, or perhaps when they made it into the upper echelon of our Top 20 Nerdy Things of 2013. These rockers, who stole our hearts with their emotionally upending songs from the world of Dungeons & Dragons, have returned to conquer a whole new corner of the nerd kingdom: The Hunger Games. But, like their former record, this new album doesn't require fandom to be a fan - these nerdy nuances highlight bigger themes that anyone can connect with. Join Cap and Nerdy.FM station manager Lauren Furze (aka TheFifthSister) as they're joined by Ellen, Chris, A. Sarr, and Sam of Chamber Band for a journey into this new record: Careers. This episode journeys through the record with background on each track, songwriting stories, and tales from the road. Cap has zero Hunger Games experience, so Lauren and Chamber Band light the way - sharing how they got into the series, what they connected with, and what made it into the album.

Microsodes are where fans choose the topics we discuss, and this is two of them mashed together. Cap and our resident sci-tech experts Jessica and Jon team up with hosts from across The Nerdy Show Network to provide expert infotainment. First up, Trench88 wants to know about cybernetics - and it turns out most of us don't really know what the word means. Brandon, along with a special guest appearance by the Fleming Bros. of Wicked Anime, do their damnedest to make pop culture comparisons. We come up with our own definition of "cybernetics" as well as put some tasteful new spins on "cybering". Next, Nerdy Show fan Viral Demon asks: "The Internet: How Does It Work?" We're joined by boR of Derpy Show and Doug, but things are not what they seem. While Cap professes his secrets of the REAL Internet, boR serves as a very un-derpy font of knowledge; dropping some raw truths and squeezing fresh Internet juice. All that plus visions of the virtual net to come, quantum computing, and the joys of holographic chat roulette.

Long, long ago... In an age of peril and wonder called the 1970s... an obtuse horror was birthed from the sullen loins of the sci-fi/ fantasy community... A horror called... "The Eye of Argon"! Join hosts from across The Nerdy Show Network around a roaring winter fire as they drink a toast to one of the most celebrated monstrosities in nerd literature. Since its first publishing in 1970, Jim Theis' "The Eye of Argon" has delighted and disgusted audiences. The short story is classic fanfic gone wrong as a would-be Conan knock-off called Grignr blunders his way through some of the most inexplicable prose ever committed to the page. Nerds have gathered for decades to play "The Eye of Argon Challenge", a drinking game not unlike our own program Friday Night Fanfiction - read the story straight-faced or DRINK. Hear Nerdy Show's Cap, Hex, Doug, Tony, Denika, La Valle, Brandon, Trench, and Arkais; Ghostbusters: Resurrection's La Forge, Nina, Briggs, and Poole; Derpy Show's boR and Flame On's Jarrod along with the likes of Benjamin Pickle, Batjerk, Vimak, Galdap, and other surprise guests take on the legendary fantasy tome!

This is a Nerdy Show episode years in the making! For the past two years we've been collecting interviews from every host on the Network and nearly every celebrity guest we've had on the show, asking one simple question: what's your first video game experience? In doing so, we unearthed a treasure trove bigger than the E.T. landfill: an oral history of video games. These are stories set against a backdrop of bowling alleys, Circle Ks, Christmas mornings, basement bedrooms, and the din of the arcade. Each formative tale sheds light on a seldom-shared moment in gaming's nearly 50-year history, all of them wildly different - some even life and death. Join the entire Nerdy Show Network and the nerdiest names in pop culture as we take a journey through video game history, from Pong to present.THE GUEST LISTMUSIC: Claire Evans (YACHT, Omni Reboot) | Dr. Vern (Sci-Fried) | Jeremy Soule (The Elder Scrolls, Guild Wars) | K-Murdock (Panacea, Forever Famicom) | Marc With a C | Mouth's Cradle | Paul Haslinger (Tangerine Dream, Underworld) | Professor Shyguy | The Protomen | Random aka Mega Ran | Schaffer the Darklord | "Weird Al" YankovicMOVIES/ TV: Casper Kelly (Too Many Cooks) | Chris Carter (X-Files) | Dave Willis (Aqua Teen Hunger Force) | David X.

Welcome to State of the Empire – the Star Wars Speculation Podcast where we look for news in Alderaan places! This series is now a part of the Consequence Podcast Network, but when it started back in 2012, it was a special episode of the podcast, Nerdy Show – recorded when we got the surprising news that Lucasfilm was sold to Disney. We've chronicled the entire life cycle of Star Wars in the Disney era, from that moment onward – every strange rumor, canceled project, and nuanced observation about the transformation of this ever-evolving franchise. Not to mention our in-depth coverage on the future of other notable Lucasfilm properties in our recurring segments: Indy Inquiry and Willow Watch. State of the Empire evolved from an occasional special on Nerdy Show, to a standalone podcast series, to being a co-feature of Consequence of Sound, and finally, with the advent of the Consequence Podcast Network, moved over fully as a part of Consequence's family of podcasts. We're still co-produced by The Nerdy Show Network and keep on delivering hot intel from the galaxy far, far away. Check out our older episodes for a journey through the Star Wars timeline as events unfolded, or scope out our newest episodes to dive right in and get the latest news, rumors, and insights.Learn more about your ad choices.
