The Nerd Degree

Arm the proton/photon/plasma/transphasic torpedoes and stagger from side to side slightly as we celebrate that most quintessential of nerdly transportation methods, the spaceship. Can the nerds make the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs, or has the power coupling on their negative axis been polarised? (Not to worry; there's a course of pills you can take). Join the nerds as they attempt to sort out Apollo's Viper from Armstrong's Apollo and the Enterprise from, er, all the other Enterprises.

It's mate against mate as the nerds debate whether Legolas would be prepared to help Gimli move house (mine?) and if Harry's BFF was Ron or Hermione, or maybe the Sorting Hat. Will friends will be friends, as Freddie Mercury would have us believe, or are we going to end up with one of those complicated Professor X / Magneto situations? Only one team can win, but is it even possible to keep both a championship and a friendship? Surely you'd need some sort of marina.

Marcel Proust’s madelines, or the Queen of Hearts’ jam tarts? Icing or frosting? Cake or death? This trip to the nerdy bakery is a wonderland of carbs, gluten, and culinary trickery. We’ll be catering for an ‘unexpected party’ and hankering for some of Sansa Stark’s lemon cakes, so even if you think it’s all a croq(uembouche) we’ll have something tasty for you.

In this episode, Brendon Bennetts will lie in a patch of sunlight until the panellists either pat his tummy, or answers his questions about the history and cultural significance of cats.

What year is it?! Who's the president?! (...Wait, really? Goddamn.) Then I'm not too late. I've returned from the dystopian future with a warning; the Nerd Degree episode on time travel on March the 1st, 2017 was the beginning of the end for human civilisation. But it's not too late! I need you to monitor Andrew Todd, Erin Harrington vs Jeff Clark, Moata Tamaira and ensure that The Event never occurs. You'll know it when you see it. Hosted by Ben Allan.

Once Upon a Time, in a studio far, far away (well, Ferrymead), four little nerds were tempted by the big bad quiz show host to stray from the path of common knowledge into the strange and frightening world of trivia. Will they be eaten alive, or find a question that is just right?

Minds are our business in THE NERD DEGREE: BRAINS AJAR, an odyssey into what goes on inside your skulls and ours. Join us as we tease, rack, pick, and probably ultimately fry our brains through forcing them to think about themselves. Mind. Blown.

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single nerd in possession of a good stash of limited edition collectibles, must be in want of a quality comedy podcast. In this warm and fuzzy romantic episode the nerds will slash their way through bromances, pash their way through rom coms, and smash their way through the greatest love stories of our time to find out who will say “I love you”, and who will reply, “I know”.

Featuring: Erin Harrington, Brendon Bennetts, Rosie Cann, Karen Healey, and Moata Tamaira
