Pop Nerd Lounge
A podcast for the creative soul, Pop Nerd Lounge was conceptualized upon the basis of empathy and story-telling. Combining these two elements, the show seeks to be a safe space for creatives to share their journey authentically and hopefully in turn inspire more creatives to fearlessly pursue their passions in life. Our aim is to keep the conversation fresh and captivating for the listener by asking the important questions that have not been posed before.
