The Nerdologues

It's the last Your Stories podcast of 2013, and just like last year, we thought we'd take this time to highlight some of our favorite stories from the previous 12 months. We've also got brand new introductions to these tales by some Nerdologues/audience members who liked them a whole lot, as well as the usual musical accompaniment.

Hola mis amigos! Enjoy this sweet ep with my new friend Christopher Kidder-Mostrom who explores his passion for translating that started in a grad program and has culminated in his theatre company Commedia Beauregard. Chris and his company have an incredible mission statement to bring important works of theatre from other languages into English while keeping the essence of the pieces intact.

Merry any holiday you could possibly be celebrating today! Our gift to you is our first guest ever, Vince Portacci (The Late 90's, Scoundrels) back on the podcast to discuss the Borderlands series, and how our traits and neuroses shape the characters we create in games. Enjoy this, and come back next week with our 2013 wrap up show!

Our last brand-new episode of the year wraps up our month-long theme of "Across the Universe," which featured wonderful guest storytellers from Improvised Star Trek and A Klingon Christmas Carol as well as the usual group of Nerdologues members and friends!

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far awayA few days ago in my kitchen, Elliott and I had a delightful chat about his favorite film franchise, Star Wars. Unlike most fans, Elliott doesn't feel as much of a need to exclude those pesky prequels, and his defense essentially began with "shut the fuck up about Jar Jar Binks."

Episode 52! Folks, we couldn't get a guest in time for the recording this week, so we went without one. We switch the roles we normally have on the show, and Clayton asks deep probing questions of Tim. Enjoy!

On our last episode of 2013, host Chris Geiger chats with three members of the Nerdologues about festive topics like intimacy, cheating, and favorite holiday movies. Well, I guess that last one fits. A long discussion about Love Actuallyand Hugh Grant ensues.
