Hey everybody, welcome to the second part of the Nerdologues Present: Your Stories December podcast. Like last time, the show you're about to hear was recorded live at the Pub Theater, 3220 N Lincoln Avenue in Chicago. Everything on this podcast has been created and performed by audience members who volunteered to share their stories. This time out, you'll hear from Chicago comedian and production master Jeremy Kanne, who recalls doing whatever it took to be cool in junior high. Blogger and film critic Aaron Pinkston gives us a taste into his neuroses for cataloging trivia, and the mysterious Angela shares a story of falling in love over some eloquently-written e-mails. PLUS I relate a recent experience involving broken hearts and comic books. As usual, the show also features live music from myself and Dwight Haesler of the band Take Cover.

If you'd like to participate in the next Your Stories show, please drop by the Pub Theater this Sunday night, December 18 at 8:00 PM for our next recording. It's totally free, and even if you don't want to share you can come be a part of our audience!
