Season 4 Episode 62 :: More Stories About Sex in the Future

Posted by NerdyShow on September 20, 2012

Nerdy Show Book Club is back and this time with a very special guest! This time around our book of the month was More Stories About Spaceships and Cancer by Casper Kelly, a brilliant collection of short stories.  Casper is a writer for some of Adult Swim’s finest (Aqua Teen, Squidbillies, Harvey Birdman, and more) and we had the pleasure of having him with us for the entire episode. Join Cap, Hex, Colin, Brandon, and special space friend, Casper, as we spiral into madness, consciousness, and one of our best dramatic reading yet!

Read on!
