Nerd Hurdles
Summary: Nerd Hurdles is a podcast. Chances are if you’re here, you know that already. But just in case you got sent here by Google or a link sent to you by someone in your office, Nerd Hurdles is a podcast about things nerds like. Things that regular people (”normals”) scoff at or outright shun. We discuss these things in a generally humorous and vaguely intelligent way. Or is that intelligible? It might be neither intelligent nor intelligible. Jakob and Mandi discuss all manner and forms of nerdery and geekery and what makes them magnificent and tragic. This weekly epic explored the depths of what fandoms mean to their fans. Sacred cows of the scifi, fantasy, comic book and any other genre that makes the general public squirm with discomfort get the irreverent Nerd Hurdles treatment (and nerdy love).

Maybe Jakob and Mandi were just down on Valentine's Day because they had colds. Igor reveals himself to be a romantic. In Project GalacTALKa things move onto a pile of spoilers regarding the beginning of BSG Season Three. Expanded shownotes HERE.
In a vain attempt to be topical, Jakob and Mandi miss the iPad frenzy by about a week. They also finish off season 2.5 of Battlestar with the latest installment of Project GalacTALKa. Expanded shownotes HERE.
Jakob and Mandi get real with the first in a series of episodes devoted to anti-nerd hurdles or, perhaps, Nerds' Hurdles. Things nerds don't like because they're the domain of the normies. Reality TV gets the first whack of the nerd scorn stick. Project GalacTALKa: Some of the worst TV ever produced, including reality TV, can be found in Season 2.5 of BSG. At least the first half. Specifically "Black Market". Shownotes HERE.
Bored? If you're listening to Nerd Hurdles, you're clearly the opposite of bored. At least until Jakob and Mandi start playing Star Wars and LOTR Trivial Pursuit. This week on Project GalacTALKa: Discussion of the half-assed boxset production, fanfic, Adm. Helen "Mole Sauce" Cain and human anatomy in water (in roughly that order). Read the expanded shownotes here.
The whole point was to make ‘Charlie Sheen you shouldn’t wear make-up it makes you look like a whore’ jokes but Jakob and Mandi forgot. Then they got dogmatic and doomy and a bit gloomy.
