  • Talk nerdy to me

    I’m sure you know the sort of catch-up with friends. Playing a few games, having a few drinks, chatting about anything and everything, just having a nice chilled time. This is that but in audio form. Josh, Grant and Margy are the hosts of a show where you’ll hear about hitch-hiking robots, the goodest doggos in pop-culture, heavy metal and why it would suck to be a character in The Sims. Sit back, relax (unless you’re driving) and give these 3 wholesome nerds a listen.
