There’s a lot to go over this episode. We start with Atomic Monster Weekend’s last minute, mysterious cancellation (that still has almost no signs of having happened on the internet). Then we go into an update on the ongoing Ohayocon situation and where things currently stand. Finally, we dig into the events at ColossalCon North a few days ago that led to the con’s cosplay contest staff abruptly quitting Saturday morning.

It’s a hell of a time.

Before that though, we talk about the launch of NerdAndTie[dot]Social, the new official forums for Nerd & Tie.

On this episode of The Nerd & Tie Podcast we are deep diving into everything that’s happened with Ohayocon over the last… week? It’s been a lot, from the firing/not firing of staff members, a lot about a logo, a volunteer staff on “strike,” and Melissa Phelps reportedly stepping down from the CESI board of directors — and it’s not even close to over yet.

Ryan Kopf has been suing Nerd & Tie owner Trae Dorn in one form or another for over seven years. With the conclusion of the Illinois suit against Trae Dorn and former Nerd & Tie contributor Pher Sturz earlier this month, we thought we should sit down and talk about what’s happened over those years. We discuss the full timeline of events, what Trae was actually accused of saying, and how things affected us.
