The Nerdologues

Listen to this podcast, for it is your Destiny. 

We recorded a show at PAX with some really great guests! THIS IS THAT SHOW!

The Flaming Lips, the Go! Team, Cults, and everything changes (for real). 

John Hartman's love of The Smiths was kindled in college but really seems to have reached its pinnacle in recent memory: John tells stories of finally catching a Morrissey show that wasn't cancelled, getting pranked by the MD at Second City who slipped a song from the morose, Manchester band into a show, and connecting with other huge fans of the band via comedy. 

This week, Tim, Clayton, and Kellen dive into the ethics of supporting games (or any media) when you know their creators are terrible. This is some real talk. 

The second part of our "Authentic" episode with friend Shawn Smith has more great stories and songs; plus, for the second month in a row, we send a great friend of the show off. 

Letters to Cleo, Michael Jackson, My Bloody Valentine... and Del tries to go outside? 

Becca Brown has been attending concerts since she was five or six watching Carlos Santana with her father and realized that was an actual thing people could do for a living: be a performing rock musician. (Yes, she IS young enough that this was around the time of Santana's collaboration on "Smooth" with Rob Thomas, and yes we DO both unironically enjoy that song.) From here through more concerts (Elton John) and more exploring of strong women in rock (Janis Jopin), Becca solidified that she wanted performing and watching rock music to top her list of priorities. Her experience acting in School of Rock sealed the deal: she had "sold her soul" to rock.

This week, Tim, Clayton, and Kellen chat about the new game on everyone's mind -- Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain!
