Welcome back to the second part of our lovely, nerdy, story-telling-y February show. This episode features Nerdologues troupe member Bill Kenkel lecturing us on the futility of existence, film blogger Aaron Pinkston with an oral history of bad haircuts, and theater writer/producer/manager Byron Hatfield providing a tale of summer jobs that nerdy kids just shouldn't have. Once again our friend Matt Heckler lends his considerable musical talent to this month's proceedings.

IT IS NOW TIME FOR THE FEBRUARY EPISODE OF YOUR STORIES. Well, the first part, anyway. This show we've got improviser Steve Persch regaling us with a tale of contextual coolness, blogger Shawn Boyle sharing his fear of the apocalypse, Nerdologues troupe member Kevin Reader reliving the glory days of eighth grade basketball and special guest stand-up Mat Elfring (of Comicvine fame) sharing some tales from his time in the comic book industry. Additionally, this month we're joined musically by one Matt Heckler, an excellent folk singer/songwriter from the south suburbs of Chicago.
