The Nerdologues

This week, the host shares his own favorite tracks from this horrible, horrible year. 

If you thought the recent conversation MBS had with Abraham Lincoln about his love of Weezer was too good to be true, wait until you get a load of past presidents William Howard Taft and Andrew No-Middle-Name Jackson chatting about the beloved teen party romp, Can't Hardly Wait. AJ counts down his top 5 baseball movies, Taft pines for Jennifer Love Hewitt, and Abe crashes the party before past guest of the show Tim Dunn shows up pretty upset that MBS "stole" his guests again.

From December 2011 to now (well, technically to October 2016), the producers behind this show share with you their all-time favorite stories and songs. 

Happy Everything! The Nerdologues made you a holiday mix. 

Ho ho ho? Uh, try no no no! Nerdologues co-founder Kevin Reader finally came on the show to chat about his favorite athlete. From being a nerdy kid in jr high who got into basketball because it's what his friends were into (and because he grew up in IL in the 90s) to playing pickup basketball with Deron Williams in college, Kevman found an idol in Mutombo when he got his story and stats in a physical, chapter-a-month encyclopedia mailing.

The Talking Games lads and special guest JPC discuss their contenders for game of the year? Will it be Final Fantasy XV? Perhaps No Man's Sky?? Lololololololol anyway listen to the episode. 

As the temperature gets colder, the baseball stove is heating up! MB shares her take of what's happening around the league, and the boys try their best to follow along (bless their hearts).  The Joe and Hooli paint us a by-the-numbers look at the college football playoff picture!

A few weeks ago, we asked you to tell us your favorite stories and songs from the past year of podcasts. Here they are!

Or is it? (Yes. Mostly. Listen to the episode.)

Lifelong fan of the classics and passionate supporter of the continued seasons, Chris Rathjen is a Whovian of epic proportions. From watching black and white episodes on Iowa public television every Friday night ad infinitum to appreciating newfound BBC production quality and emotional nuance, Chris loves the humanity behind the otherworldliness of the show and has never missed an episode (to the point of enjoying ones that have recently been reconstructed from found audio and newly-produced animations).
