The Nerdologues

The second part of our special team-up with the Chicago Design Museum is full of more stories and music -- lots of music -- inspired by the theme "Beginnings." 

Del ponders the pros and cons of going to rescue his crush from a gang of mad monks. It's still the post-apocalypse. How did we come to this? 

All things all-star!  We discuss the recent NHL All-Star games (you're welcome, John Scott!), the upcoming NBA All-Star break, and how to fix the NFL's Pro Bowl.  We also break down next week's Super Bowl match-up between the Carolina Panthers and the Denver Broncos, and conduct this season's penultimate edition of ♫Peyton's Recap of the Week♫!

Shannon's been giving tours of Chicago for about a year now, and she gave an hour of her time in the off season to tell me about what works, what doesn't, and who the biggest troublemakers are on her laissez-faire bus tours. She gets the opportunity to cater tours however she wants, so she's had a great time diving into more of Chicago's darker, more realistic history.

This week, Tim, Clayton, and Kellen take on more questions from our lovely listeners, AND they review games they haven't even played! 

Hey, we did it three years ago -- why not take a run at it again? This episode, we team up with the wonderful Chicago Design Museum for another look at Beginnings!

Del goes on-location to stake out his weird neighbors and man, is he gonna be surprised at what he sees. Plus Supertramp, PJ Harvey, KISS, and more!

Stand back as Lisa and I get down and dirty into why she loves science. From her first visit to the beach (not a lake) to sailing various seas as a cruise ship entertainer, Lisa has loved marine biology since she was around 10. Along with learning about Rosalind Franklin and Sunflower Seastars, I had a grand time chatting about how we both navigated our love for performing as science majors in college.

This week's headline: Kathryn Smith becomes the first full-time assistant coach in NFL history!  Or should we say... herstory?  Also: we break down the NFC and AFC Championship games, discuss the Cavaliers' abrupt coaching change, and Hooli and the Joe get into their first argument!  Not to mention a special, second appearance from Robo Jackson...
