Nerds On Draft episodes

  • Trifecta and Headphones

    Gabe schools Jeff on his favorite headphones, from the fancy shmanzy ones to his new Apple Airpods. Yet another podcast in which Jeff is poorer by the end of it (because he bought some recommended technology or software described in the audio).

    They discuss these technological wonders while sipping a Trifecta by Night Shift Brewing.

  • Sour Monkey and Follow Up

    Everybody loves follow-up. Jeff and Gabe have covered a host of topics on the podcast over the last eighty-six episodes. Things are always changing and this week, the hosts review some of the changing topics of previous podcasts and discuss about how they do some things differently these days.

    While they dig into their changing ways, they sip on a delightfully sour beer from Victory Brewing Company called "Sour Monkey".

      Fort Point by Trillium Brewing

      This week Jeff and Gabe try to talk about how language grows and changes, how the election cycle was ruled by linguistic strategies, and Steven Pinker's thoughts on reason. This episode deserved a great beer and they had one ready from Trillium Brewing.

    • BYOB and Why The Future Sucks

      The fatigue brought on by constant technological failures, bugs and bad ideas gets overwhelming sometimes. Gabe and Jeff tap into that frustration and discuss how broken things are. They chose their own separate beers for this show. Jeff poured himself a Sip of Sunshine by Lawson's Finest Liquids and Gabe reached for a 2014 Backwoods Bastard by Founder's Brewing.

    • Blood Lust and the Death of TapCellar

      Gabe and Jeff discuss the state of the App Store and how hard it is to sell an app like TapCellar or any app where money is involved. They "pour one out" for their app as they discuss its immanent end of life, the burden of ongoing costs and the surprisingly good (but challenging) experience they had building the app.

      They sip a thick and sweet Blood Lust by Spring House Brewing while crying into the suds.

    • Episode 079 — Tröegenator and Backups

      Gabe and Jeff dip into the beer cellar and find a good beer for the start of cooler weather -- a bock beer by Tröeg's called Tröegenator. They also got into a deep discussion of what it means to back up your data, how many belts and suspenders you need and explore why photo management is so hard.
