Nerdy Show Prime: Life Day Spectacular

Winter holiday specials are a time honored tradition. Some are simply strange attempts to cash in on the holiday season (*cough*StarWars*cough*), others are brilliant, creative outpourings in the name of warmth, family, togetherness, and the hope that maybe, just maybe we can make the world a better place. We’d like to think this is the latter, but we’re willing to bet you’ll disagree. Whatever you celebrate this holiday season – Nerdy Show is right there with you! We've got a nondenominational ...

Nerdy Show Prime: Voice Acting! Part 2

Part 2 of our Nerdy Show Prime 2-part feature on VOICE ACTING! When it comes to animation – voice actors define a character. Sure, there’s the writing and the animation, but it’s the voice that really sells the character. What would the animated characters be without their iconic voices bringing each of those characters to life? What’s the difference between a good anime dub and a bad one? It’s the voices. In this two-part Nerdy Show Prime episode, we celebrate voice actors, their legacy in anim...

Nerdy Show Prime: Voice Acting! Part 1

When it comes to animation – voice actors define a character. Sure, there’s the writing and the animation, but it’s the voice that really sells the character. What would the Looney Tunes be without their iconic voices bringing each of those characters to life? What’s the difference between a good anime dub and a bad one? It’s the voices. As nerds we’ve created something of a fandom surrounding voice actors. Giving these men and women of a thousand faces the celebrity following that they deserve....

Season 4 :: Episode 7.5 :: Pokésode Tweed

We’ve got a treat for the real Poké-maniacs in the audience. Triforce Mike has an important message about just how much insane work goes into Pokémon breeding, his quest for a perfect Teddiursa, and why he feels IV training shouldn’t be viewed as cheating. It’s a rant so expansive it had to be given it’s own cartridge. Ladies and gentlemen: Pokésode Tweed! Tracks: On the Origin of the Species :: ProtoDome Pocket Ni Fantasy :: Sachi & Juri Links: Our original Pokésode – from Season 3 Hosted o...

Season 4 :: Episode 7 :: Pokésode Plaid

Besides, everyone knows that Triforce Mike is a first class Poképhile. He has to go door-to-door and everything! This is like AA for him. He needs this. So embark with us on an adventure into the ball tossin’, animal fightin’ world of Pokémon! It’s a full house in the Nerdy Show studio- Join Cap, Hex, Mike, Tony...

Nerdy Show Prime: The Curious Case of Dean Wallace

Nothing could have prepared us for this… This is both the first episode of Nerdy Show Prime and an unparalleled document of the unusual. Nerdy Show Prime is a new brand of monthly episode dedicated to big topics that take an entire full-length show to discuss. However, we’d pushed aside our originally intended topic to tackle a more pressing matter… the disappearance of our good friend, Dean Wallace. You may remember Dean from some of our previous episodes such as Duck Hunt and Were the Wild Thi...

Season 3 :: Episode 29 :: Fight the Power [Button]

My fellow Nerds, a crisis is upon us. As some of you may have heard, a recent high court ruling in the UK has greatly jeopardized the future of the Chiptunes movement. The hardware integral to creating music from current and retro gaming systems is now illegal. This aggression will not stand, man – and we won’t sit by idly while our bothers and sister across the pond cannot pick up their Gameboys and bleep bloop in public. …Did that come out wrong? NEVERMIND. In response to this ruling, Nerdy Sh...

Season 3 :: Episode 7 :: Nerds in Space

In 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.

Season 1 Flashback :: 2/11/09

This unnamed episode from February 11th, 2009 is our earliest recording; pulled from the aether by arcane magicks. Cap, Mike, and Hex’s first show together is lost to time – never recorded – and this episode is possibly the second, third, or even fourth Nerdy Show recording. Before this, Aaron had been co-hosting a show called Talk Nerdy to Me on WPRK, a college radio station in Winter Park, Florida. After a while, he got sick of it and pawned the gig off to Cap and Mike. A wild Hex appeared; an...
