Episode 191 - Troping All Over Ourselves with Danger Neff from the Back to the Classics Podcast

A few times now, we have done an actual play episode using the Fate Core TTRPG rules. Before, we played a sci-fi game we called Bears in Space. Anna Meyer joined David, and Erica and they played the Fate Core system, directed by Brian. 

We had so much fun, we invited Anthony this time. We had to start over and that means a session 0. A session 0 is a game session where instead of playing the game, the players and director discuss the game setting and what characters they will play. Last time, the session 0 was for patrons only. This time, you all get to listen. I won't spoil the setting we came up with but I will warn you, there will be heresy!

PS: This episode contains a lot of visual content. Normally, our video episodes only go to Patrons (on http://patreon.com/nerdpodcastradio). This time you will all get to see us play! The video will go live on our YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCR453y_Qpbo_p_O4wElkatg) about a week after session 1 goes live in audio (around 2/23/22). 

If you want to see it sooner, head over to http://patreon.com/nerdpodcastradio. $5 a month can get you access to all of our video content and really helps us support and improve the podcast.

Episode 203 - Theory Crafting A Fate RPG Game

Alita, a friend of the podcast who we haven't seen in a while, joined us to talk about comics.

Episode 217 - A Comic-al episode

DM Sarah (@The_DM_Sarah) and Fantasy Cartographer Anna Meyer (@anna_b_meyer) joined Stolas, Erica, David, and Brian to talk about the recent controversy with Wizards of the Coast updating the open gaming license which can affect Dungeons and Dragons forever.

Ep227 - The D&D OGL Controversy w/ DM Sarah and Anna meyer

We are back after a bit of delay due to cold season. Is making friends hard? How do you make friends as an adult? How did you make the friends you have now? Why is it easy for kids? Erica, Brian, and David discuss this topic as well as the usual widget stuff.

Note from the Widgets:

"Our time will come."

Episode 232 - Is Making Friends Hard?

David and Brian try to dig deep into their brains and have a discussion about the history of nerd culture. This is part one in a series where we dig deep into our knowledge of nerd culture and have a fun discussion.

Ep237 - Do We Know Nerd Culture History?

We've been doing an informal 5 part series on nerd culture. This episode is part 2 where we discuss the future of nerd culture including trends and predictions. We discuss the effect of technology on nerd culture and the difference between the future of tech and trends. We also have some spirited arguments over Brian's perceived upbringing. Great times were had. :)

Hosts: Brian, David, Erica

Episode 238 - Future of Nerd Culture

Part 3 of our informal 5 part nerd culture series. David and Brian are a duo in this week's episode where they discuss speculative science of science fiction, fantasy, games, and more.

Episode 239 - The Science Of Nerdery

Mental Health and Nerd Culture go hand and hand both for positive and negative. We discussed this with a special guest host, Indie comic writer, Corissa Grant joined us and we had a deep discussion about mental health and the positive and negative aspects of nerd culture.

Episode 240 - Mental Health and Nerd Culture with Corissa Grant of Worthy Chaos Comics

Erica, David, and Brian were having an amazing discussion about the effect of Pop Culture on society for good or bad when we were invaded by some amazing guests! What a good and chaotic time we had being podcasters.

Episode 241 - Is Pop Culture Bad for Us?

Some episodes have topics. This episode on the other hand has something very different. But first...

Ep242 - What's Nerdy with us...

Brian, David, and Erica discuss what is the difference between horror movies and other movies. How do you make a good one? Is it the same as any story or movie? Lots of great discussion here. I hope you enjoy.

Ep243 - What Makes A Good Horror Movie?

Behold the joy of chaos! Listen to 3 punch drunk podcast hosts struggling to stay on topic. We were all pretty much exhausted but I think it created something quite good. The goal was to do an episode about cooking. I think we talked about that at least a little bit. Enjoy the chaos.

Ep244 - Cooking Up A Topic

This was the opposite of the budgeting episode. Erica, David, and Brian discussed what we spend our money on when we don't have to. 

Apologies, there were some editing technical difficulties with this episode. Time travel may have been involved

Episode 245 - Shut Up And Take My Money

The original plan was to talk about tabletop roleplaying games but it quickly changed to all games, especially video. It was a fun time.

Episode 246 - The Games We Play

Last time it was Silly or Serious. This time David and Brian play Love or HATE.

Episode 247 - Love or HATE

Three podcast hosts stumble their way through a conversation that spans topics such as "Baldurs Gate 3" to the politics of the LGBTQ movement and why does Stolas get so many days celebrating them? It's not fair!



Note - Brian was not present for these shenanigans.

Episode 248 - This Is What Happens When Brian Is Not Here

In this episode we talked a lot about creative burnout and real life interfering with creativity. It was a raw episode and required a lot of vulnerability and soul searching. It's a bit different than our normal content. I hope you enjoy, please give feedback.

Episode 249 - The Dangers Of Creative Thinking

David, Erica, Brian, and Holly got together to celebrate our 250th episode of Nerd Podcast Radio...but first, we played everyone's favorite game, What's Nerdy with You? for the entire episode.  Also, we had a surprise Brent Bowser!

Episode 250  - What's Nerdy with Everyone?

We're back for 2024! After having a nice holiday break, David and Brian returned to have a fantastic chat about holidays and holiday traditions.

Episode 251 - Post Holiday Chat

Our very own patron and friend of the show Kija joined us to talk about fandoms and how we interact with. Brian also bullied David about Minecraft and we all learned a lot about Finland.

Episode 252 - Roles In Fandoms With Kija

Super Vegan Brian here and I'm introducing this episode a little differently. I have to say this is one of my favorite episodes we have ever recorded. Funny enough, due to technical issues, this episode was almost lost but it was saved. I have to say, I had so much passion in my discussion of rules in games that I am overwhelmingly overjoyed that we were able to save this episode. 

We talked about rules. Rules in games whether they be board games or tabletop role playing games. I had tons of fun recording this and I am incredibly happy that I am able to share it with you. 

Episode 253 - The Peasant Railgun

Fantasy Cartographer, Anna Meyer, joined us to discuss networking in nerd circles. How to make friends and connections whether it be in gaming, or other nerdy interests. This episode was inspired by how we all met and really made me think about all the different people I've met in my nerdy adventures. A big thank you for Anna joining us last minute on this one.

Episode 254 - Nerdworking

Usually what we do is plan a topic or agree on a topic before an episode. Sometimes this doesn't happen and we either have to compromise or come up with something new. This is a time when a consensus could not be reached before recording time.

Episode 255 - Arguing Over Topic

David and Brian found themselves as a duo for the first time in a long time and for the first time in a long time we dredged up an old topic and talked about hobbies. I think our opinions on hobbies has changed a lot as we've gotten older. It's like everything we do from the outside can be viewed as a hobby but we just don't feel that way.

Episode 256 - What Do Nerds Do In Their Free Time?

Yet another episode where Brian asks someone else to host. This is the kind of topic that happens when Erica is in control. We get paranormal stories and arguments over the existence of spirits. Perfect episode. Erica has a new job.

Episode 257 - Paranormal Nerditivity

Welcome to Nerd Podcast Radio's 20th episode! Today the 3 nerds and a special guest nerd, the amazing artist Stephen DelTour Jr discuss tons of stuff but mostly Disney. We talked about classic Disney  to the modern day, plus other Disney properties like Star Wars, Pixar, and Disneyland. We also started the great vegetarian debate trying to decide if Tyranny is a awesome or a terrible video game.

That being said, Special Mikey, Super Vegan Brian, and our always welcome, very special guest, Map Maker Anna discussed the fantasy epic HBO show, Game of Thrones.

Episode 61 We Spoil Game of Thrones w/ special guest, Fantasy Cartographer, Anna Meyer

Thanks for your patience everyone. I'm starting to feel a little better this week and I finally got to release this fantastic episode! We had Captain Mc Dan, manager of the Velveteen Band, back for a really fun conversation. Super Vegan Brian and Cursy smurf Erica joined Dan (The same plague that got me made Special Mikey absent and Anthony had a family emergency) to do an off the cuff topic episode. Like many random nerdy conversations though, the topic became Star Wars and only Star Wars.

Episode 108 - Return Of The All Father - Odin Abbott of Odin Makes

Nerd Podcast Radio was made by three friends that decided to sit down and talk about the thing that we love most, being nerds. We decided to record it, seeing how we all moved to different cities and didn't want to see our friendships fall to the wayside. In this podcast, we get together every other week, and talk about whatever nerdy topic that comes to us. Sometimes there are more of us, sometimes there are less of us but we're always Nerd Podcast Radio.
