Episode 257 of Nerdery & Murdery is live!

On the Nerdery side, Zig takes a look back at Laserdiscs, the format that bridged the gap between VHS and what would eventually become DVD. From massive discs to surprisingly high quality video for the time, we break down what made Laserdiscs special and why they still hold a place in the evolution of home media.

On the Murdery side, our A–Z Across America series takes us to Indiana and the case of Herb Baumeister.

In the early 1990s, men began disappearing in the Indianapolis area. The investigation eventually led to Fox Hollow Farm, where thousands of human bone fragments were discovered across the property. Baumeister was identified as the primary suspect, but his death left many questions unanswered, including the full number of victims.

A look back at a forgotten piece of media history on one side.
 A hidden horror beneath a quiet property on the other.

Just another week of the Nerd and the Murd.
