  • A fantastic nerd show!

    Shae43 was right that this show is very relatable. The hosts of Blerds and Nerds have great chemistry and have a way of relating their views on nerdy things that is enormously inviting. You feel sort of like you're sitting in the room with them as part of a vibrant and poignant conversation! And it's just lovely.

    Plus, their quarantine episodes are particularly fun given the nightmare we find ourselves in. They're great as a distraction!

  • Binged it

    The audio in the past few episodes has been pretty inconsistent. It starts regular then at some point gets very quiet
