What’s up nerds. Welcome to the Nerd Fu podcast – Gears on the Bus. If you’re looking for the latest & greatest in nerd/geek news, then this IS the podcast you’ve been looking for.
This week, as always, we bring you the latest in Nerd news, including SCREENSHOT (movies & tv), STOCKPILE (collectibles), HIGH SCORE (gaming), COMICS n CONS (that one explains itself) and WILD CARD (our catch-all, random stuff category).
