1. Nerdy Show 244 :: Pardon Our Mess or… Doug is Sad He’s Not DiCaprio

   Spiraling from the year-end chaos the holidays bring comes… Nerdy Show!

   If this is your first episode, let us stop you right here folks. Perhaps we can direct you to our Greatest Hits page where you’ll find our finest adventures. THIS episode goes deep. In some cases, Inception deep. Before we return to your regularly scheduled Nerdy Show, we wanted to do an impromptu community update explaining where we’ve been, where we are, and where we’re headed.

   Join Cap and Doug for an unedited community update ramble through the craziness that comes from the year’s end, the various Nerdy Show productions in development, and on a completely unrelated note: a dream Cap had starring Tim and Eric, John C. Reilly, Leonardo DiCaprio, and a cast of performers in flesh-colored banana suits. We’ve also got some tips for what YOU can do to help Nerdy Show get a leg up in this competitive, crazy podcast world. In the months to come we’ll keep you posted on what we’re cooking up and how you can help – and on the flip side let us know how we can better serve your infotainment needs! (more…)

Our list heralds from all facets of society: from science to game shows and pop culture to technology.

   Join Cap, boR, Jon, Jess, Doug, and Brandon on a Magical Mystery Tour through the peculiar future-present landscape of this strange and amazing year. Not only do we have to distill an entire year of achievements down to 20 items and a smattering of superlatives, but we’ve only got three minutes on the timer to describe them! The clock is literally ticking as all that was 2015 comes to an explosive end. Listen in as we relive and reveal everything that made the year great. (more…)

3. YEAR-END LIST: The Top 20 Nerdy Things of 2015

   

   It’s the moment you’ve been waiting all year for: your friends at Nerdy Show have once more completed the impossible (and some argue unnecessary) task of ranking the top 20 nerdiest things of the year.

   Our list heralds from all facets of society: from science to game shows and pop culture to technology. We’ve run the gamut, collected a host of nerdy topics, and ranked them on a completely arbitrary and unscientific scale (save for the Google Sheets wizardry Jess cast to tally everyone’s votes). It’s always a heatedly debated list, but this year there is one glaring omission you’re sure to notice: The Force Awakens. The Star Wars frenzy is in full effect, pushing global nerd energies to ice cap melting extremes. In this case, that’s a good thing – but we felt it fair to omit the biggest player on the board so the rest could have a chance to shine. (more…)

4. YEAR-END LIST: The Top Nerdy Things of 2015 – Superlatives

   

   Every year the Nerdy Show crew mash our collective heads together to figure out the Top 20 Nerdy Things of the Year. Competition is always fierce and divisive. When you’re dealing with as subjective a quantifier as “nerdiness” things just don’t stack the same as your average “best of” lists. That why this year we’ve foregone the usual Honorable Mentions and created a series of superlatives to give due recognition to the more specific notes of nerd awesomeness that rocked us in the wily year of 2015.
