On this episode of The Nerdiest Podcast, we discuss whether physical media is truly on its way out, or if collectors, preservationists, and gamers still have reason to be hopeful.

With reports of a digital-only future becoming more common, GTA VI having no true physical release, and Sony ditching disc production for PS6, it feels like we're reaching a turning point for gaming, and physical media as a whole.

On this episode of The Nerdiest Podcast, we're putting our nerd credentials on the line with a completely custom game of Nerd Jeopardy! From discontinued LEGO sets to Disney Food, Wii Game titles, and Box Office Hits, we battle our way through categories designed to test just how much useless nerd knowledge we've stored in our brains over the years. Some questions were easy, some were impossible, and a few answers sparked plenty of debate along the way.
