Back in January, Zach and Calvin had the distinct honor of talking with Jess Allanic, co-founder of the multicultural British band Calva Louise.

We've got some big changes going on at Studio Nerd! In addition to our bimonthly Media Club, where we review anime, movies, television, videogames and more, we will spend the off months interviewing our favorite nerds about their passions; from Star Wars to tabletop games.

She has a prolific film catalog which has led to her winning four 48-hour film competitions. Heather dives deep into her love of filmmaking, finding her purpose through education, and more. Be sure to join us on December 2nd for Media Club when we'll discuss the anime Link Click. Be sure to leave us a voicemail at (734) 330-2480 and let us know what you thought of the show.
