Nerdonomy
Summary: Nerds on Film and Nerds on History have each had their last word. And yet like the legendary Phoenix (the bird, not Jean Grey), a new podcast rises from their ashes. Are we still covering Film? Yes. Are we bringing back History episodes? Absolutely. What about those long talked-about Nerds on Words and Nerds on Books episodes, or even Nerds on Science? We’ll definitely cover those too. We are now, simply, Nerdonomy. Our rebranded podcast uses the season format, and episodes will release weekly when each season premieres. Listen as our rotating table of familiar hosts and guests will tackle all of the above, and far more, on Nerdonomy.
