This month, the Nerdologues welcome the great folks behind Midwest Action and we share stories about one of Johnny Cougar Mellencamp's favorite words.

A slew of special guests (including some of the creative folks behind the upcoming web series Space Happens and Red Eye columnist/comic book author Elliott Serrano) return for a set of stories that include death threats, the captains of Star Trek, and Republicans. 

Some of the super-creative minds behind the upcoming Space Happens webseries join us for this examination of seeecrets. 

Other podcasters and comedians featured at this year's Jangleheart Circus joined us for this special episode that features a distressing lack of stories about The Little Mermaid.

This month, Giant Bomb news editor Patrick Klepek joins us to help curate a fantastic night of storytellers who (mostly) share their thoughts on the theme "fingers crossed"!
