In addition to some updates about the Noname Nerd NFT projects (especially the Digidenizens!), I talk about why the criticism that you simply right click and make copies of NFTs invalidates the value of NFTs. As I discuss, there are lots of very famous and very collectible items from famous art to basketball shoes that is either a functional copy of the real one because it has been restored or available as a copy (e.g. knockoff) that doesn't prevent people from wanting to get the real copy. In fact, NFTs are part of a long-standing desire among human beings to be able to trace where the item that they own came from. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/nonamenerd/message

A year or two ago, I entered an audio drama in the "Masters of the Macabre" contest, the entry that would, sadly, be my last. I wrote about it here. It was brought to my attention that that episode was no longer available, but luckily, I still had the original production. Featuring the voices of Renee Chambliss and my niece, "Miss Fortune" is a short piece written with awfully narrow specifications. The location had to be a Festival, the monster it featured had to be Raw Head, and a specific tarot card had to appear (namely, The Hermit). Enjoy? I recorded this episode after a particularly heavy snowstorm, and was going to save it until next winter, but listeners (well, ostensibly they were listeners) told me to go ahead and post it. After all, it's winter in the Southern Hemisphere. Of course, you can always download the episode directly by Right-Clicking This Link. And come support my Patreon. Only the cool kids are doing it.
