We gave you all plenty of time to go see Star Wars - The Last Jedi. Shamrock & Pataki welcome back Sarah Van B & Kinetic for a "no holds barred" discussion of the latest installment in the Star Wars universe. Also, this is the finalé for the Nerdworld USA podcast. The panel of four nerds discuss podcast series highlights to roundout everything out. 

Thank you nerds! Farewell, and we will all miss talking about celebrity deaths and Lou Pearlman with you.

Remember that time? When we said we'd talk about our favorite covers? And when we asked you, the Nerdworld listeners, to submit yours? NOW IS THE TIME NERDWORLD TALKS COVERS! 

 

Oh ya, and we are back after a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG Break. Thanks for staying subscribed.
