This week we talk sport with three people whose nerd credentials can never be questioned. What's it like to grow up differentiating equations and drivings mauls, playing a goblin and playing in goal, shooting nets and researching neuroscience?

There's no clever music or sound mixing on this episode, so that the RAW EMOTION comes through more effectively.

Steve is a comedian and nerd, and the founder of Bright Club, Science Showoff and many more series where clever people get to show off how funny they are. He also has a fine microphone collection. You can hear Steve on other podcasts like Chaotic Adequate, Live Laugh Lovecraft and the first episode of anything his friends make, because they know he'll do a decent job.
