The Nerdologues

Immune to the seductive power of slow jams, Gideon attempts to turn the listeners on to his main passion in life…with predictable results. MUSIC BY: Rihanna, Billy Ocean, Miguel and more.

Ali Barthwell sank her teeth into the sometimes-ridiculous NBC musical drama Smash from its premiere, and she continues to curl up under the blanket of its creative process years after its two season run. She walks the listener through [most of] the many story lines and breaks down the plot holes of the original musical added in the second season, Hit List. Beyond the delicious stretches they ask the audience to be on board for in order to have all the singing happening diegetically, there's a lot of discussion to be had surrounding talented females in music and how the show responds to some of these ingenues.

We continue our celebration of the launch of Let's Get It On with more stories from some of the show's wonderful contributors celebrating the radio! Plus, the smooth jams flow. 

The mystery of host Victavius St. Velour's dissapearance deepens, leaving the hapless Gideon Spottswood to again fill in on Silky Beats & Satin Sheets. Unfortunately, the topic of the day leads Gideon to some uncomfortable encounters. Featuring tracks by Gucci Mane, Childish Gambino, Sade, and more. 

Hooli has said for years that the NBA is always fixed.  Does he have proof this time?  MB breaks down the MLB season a quarter of the way through, and The Joe Browns-noses the NFL Draft.  All that and an Instagram post!

Katy, Dylan, and Molly share a love for watching and performing within the Science Fiction and Fantasy genres as well as sharing the stage in Otherworld Theatre Company's forthcoming original play, The Rogue Aviator. Dylan is an Otherworld (and MBSing) vet, Katy is a cast member of OTC's ongoing Sailor Moon parady series called Moon! Prism! Power!, and 10-year-old Molly is Otherworld's first child actor and was previously the youngest podcast host in the iTunes store. We spend some time on each of their favorite entries in the genres, the joys and frustrations of being a fan of these novels/films/TV shows, and the desire of the cast and company to bring more of these escapes to the stage.

To celebrate the launch of the Nerdologues' newest podcast, the brainchild of Mr. Gary Lucy, we threw a launch party in LA!

Panel by panel, Spencer and Mike look at the history of comic strips (sequential art?), taking inspiration from the comic-building, party game Joking Hazard! (Podcast safe for work, game is not!)

(SERIES PREMIERE) When Victavius St. Velour (Gary Anthony Williams) -- the super-smooth host of 'Silky Beats & Satin Sheets' -- goes missing, it's up to swag-challenged home brewing enthusiast Gideon Spottswood (Steve Benaquist) to fill in. Featuring songs by The Weeknd, Ginuwine, and Heatwave. 

Writer/producer Gary Lucy (hot off the new Nerdologues podcast LET'S GET IT ON) shares a mix and a story about how soul music actually saved his life. A perfect primer for Let's Get It On as well as for anyone who needs a sonic pick-me-up!
