Each episode we tackle a topic that influences the way we view ourselves and the world. We hear from a variety of people: from scientists and philosophers to everyday people who are impacted by the topic. 

Nerd Hurdles — the podcast that helps you overcome your geek prejudices... with snark 

Nerd Hurdle - nerd hur'dle - (nûrd hûr'dl) n., v. -dled, -dling -n. a barrier or blockade of 'nerdiness' that an individual not of the nerd persuasion must metaphorically 'leap' over in order to enjoy or fully appreciate a given experience or situation. She loves Mel Gibson but the aliens were just too big a nerd hurdle for her to really enjoy Signs. -v. to successfully overcome a nerd hurdle. 

Each week one of geekdom's sacred cows is put on the chopping block as Jakob and Mandi dissect it with an irreverent and ruthlessly critical eye. Occasionally the cow makes it out unscathed, but even when when the blood of your favourite movie, TV show, book, comic, game, character or pastime is spilled, there's something to laugh about (as they twist the knife).

Jason, Richard and Allison join together to discuss TV that they love in the age of digital streaming services. They take it in turns to share, or inflict upon others, their favourite series, old and new. The only rule is that it played on TV somewhere. 

Buck Rogers, Quantum Leap and Boston Legal were the opening throw downs from each presenter. What will they watch next on their patrol of the remote?
