  • GREAT CONTENT AND PANEL OF HOSTS

    I’m a fan of Michael May and any podcast he appears on. He is the perfect choice to take on the new iteration of The “Nerd Lunch” podcast format. I love the subjects they cover and they have a bunch of fun series started (swashbuckler’s, MCU, Sherlock Holmes, etc….) So I usually laugh and learn a little each episode.

  • A Brown Paper Bag of Fun

    I only discovered this podcast in 2017 but have been happily working my way through the archives ever since. CT, Jeeg and Pax bring a wide variety of interesting and funny topics to the lunch table. There’s something here for everyone; movies, fast food, video games, even breakfast cereals. Not only do the hosts deliver the goods, their great stable of guests that take it to the next level. As the intro says, pull up a chair (and subscribe, of course)!

    I only discovered this long-running podcast about a year ago, but am constantly entertained by the variety of topics obsessed over by the hosts, CT, Pax and Jeeg. My favorite shows often deal with hypothetical scenarios involving revivals of a favorite movie or TV show, mash-ups between comic book franchises or imagining toy lines for properties that never had them. It's a ton of fun with each host sharing a distinct point of view and the guests are fantastically nerdy as well. It's a podcast th... more
