  • Never a dull moment!

    These rowdy, nerdy folks are some of the most entertaining to listen to. Even if you disagree with some opinions they really care about their content in their own way and it’s respectable at the least but entertains at best.

  • A collection of some of the best nerds on the internet!

    These people are passionate, positive, and creative in all of the best ways. I enjoy hearing their regular TNAP episodes, but Knights of the Nerd Republic holds a special place in my heart. Jarod, Conor, Spencer, Travis, Lexi, Mike, Jay, and Devin are incredible hosts, thinkers, and creative analyzers and The Nerd Academy Podcast is 100% worth the time! They’re also (and I can say this having met quite a few of them), some of the nicest and most generous people out there!

  • Conor is the reason y’all are here.

    I have definitely been watching for years and I have a theory, CONOR IS THE PRINCIPAL. He’s laid back, wears glasses, and no one knows his last name.

    Also SCOTTY IS BETTER THAN YOU JAROD. HE WON THE TRIVIA!
