The Podcast That Challenged The World
Our vision: A nerd podcast without nerd rage. Mostly. Small conversations where big nerds share fun hobbies while walking the paths less traveled in nerd culture. Most episodes contain 2-3 segments each ranging in topics including film, television, books, comics, games, trivia, and more. Explicit language. New episodes on Tuesdays.
