Episode 007 :: Nerds in Space
On this week’s action packed episode of Nerdy Show, we have a very science heavy theme, surrounding SPACE!! IRONY!!!* We have our good pal Pixelh8 coming back on the show to discuss his upcoming performance this weekend where he will be performing at the British Institute of Astronomy at Cambridge University for the Science Fair. His performance relies heavily on the barely noticeable sounds of the machinery used to observe the barely noticeable sounds of space. That’s right, we have a Nerdy Show Exclusive for this episode!! We also discuss our extra early viewing of the movie Kick-Ass and our thoughts (SPOILER: WE ENJOYED IT!!)
Some big news that hex almost forgot to mention is that his baby, Nerdapalooza, was nominated for the First Annual GeekDad Awards! Now, we wouldn’t dare demand you to vote. But Brian would. VOTE FOR NERDAPALOOZA HERE!!!
*(btw, the irony is that space surrounds us…)

It’s funny, I was just talking to some of my friends about the golden record a couple weeks ago. Later, I posted on Facebook asking everyone if they knew what it was, without looking it up, and the first response I received asked if I was talking about Megatron and Transformers: Beast Wars… XO

@Phrozt
LOL
Were you guys talking while the song Mary Anning was playing? I thought I heard you guys talking in the background. Still enjoyed the ‘cast, just curious.
@Josh
Heh, you caught us. In an early version of the show we accidentally left audio during that section. It’s since been fixed.
