nerdythingspod — Fri, 24 Aug 2018 03:50:51 +0000

This week: Sitcom nostalgia from the 80s and 90s. It’s been a couple of weeks since I left Jules and Tim alone to do an episode and they did the sitcoms of the 70s. I didn’t want to miss out on MY favorites in the 80s and 90s though, so here we have it, the definitive list of ALL of the sitcoms EVER.

*absolutely not all of them ever. Not even all of the best. Just as many as we could remember.

What Did We Just Read – Sneak Peek

nerdythingspod — Fri, 27 Jul 2018 13:17:12 +0000

Hello everyone, no new episode this week.

We do however have a sneak peek at a new project Kevin (@nerdyties) has been working on with his wife.

It’s called ‘What Did We Just Read?’ Â It’s a podcast based on the love of books, and the fact that we love completely opposite styles of books. Â Each month we’re forcing the other to read a book that is normally outside of what would be on the reading list, and we’re going to talk about it at length in a followup podcast episode!

This first episode is about the book ‘Illuminae’ by Kaufman and Kristoff. Â Jenny is making Kevin read it because she LOVES it. Â It’s a young adult Â Â sci-fi book, part of a trilogy, and should be something Kevin loves!

Feel free to reach out to us with thoughts at 978-78-NERDY(63739) or by email: kevin@whatdidwejustread.com or Jenny@whatdidwejustread.com

Nerdy Things podcast will return in two weeks with new episodes and don’t forget to check nerdythingspod.com for episodes of Nerdy People Play D&D, SA Sounds, and Everything is Fine: A Good Place Podcast!
