What’s the secret to lasting friendships? How does queer community show up through the ebbs and flows of life? And what’s the REAL story behind the “YMCA” song? In the first episode of Silver Linings, The Old Gays dive into an essential part of queer life: chosen family. They discuss the vital love, support, and sense of belonging that community provides, especially during life's toughest moments. They open up about what “queer” means to them, how chosen family has impacted their lives, and how to maintain close bonds over time–including their love for each other! “We’ve come a long way, baby.” Family isn’t just what you’re born with; it’s the people who show up, shape you, and stick around.

RIP Space Ghost: George Lowe Reads Coast to Coast Fanfic 15:45

12 weeks тому15:45

15:45

It's with a heavy heart that we report that Space Ghost is no longer getting enough oxygen. On March 2nd, George Lowe, voice of Space Ghost, and all-around delightful weirdo, became a true ghost. He joins C. Martin Croker, voice of Zorak and Moltar in Valhalla. We never did any podcasts with either of them, but back in 2014 we recorded an episode of Nerdy Show Live with George Lowe where we read some Space Ghost Coast to Coast fanfic. George Lowe reads as Space Ghost, Cat as Zorak, Hex and Moltar, Doug as the announcer, and Jonna as Lou Ferrigno. "But wait", you might say to yourself, "I've never seen/ heard any such show!" Right you are. Nerdy Show Live was our short-lived experiment in doing panel show-style video programs in front of a live audience. This particular Nerdy Show Live was delightful in-person, but disastrous insofar as recording - as you'll hear. Long story short: we weren't in control of our audio engineering and what we ended up with is an unusable mess. However, in memory of George Lowe and C. Martin Croker, we've done what we can to salvage the best bit of that hot mess in a somewhat-listenable form. Listenable enough, perhaps, that hopefully you can have a laugh and think on the gloriously surreal late nights with Tad, Zorak, Moltar, Brak, and the rest of the gang. Hosted on Acast.

Nerdy Show doesn’t have a monopoly on going dormant for years at a time - why, twelve years ago, legendary chiptunes artist, Pixelh8, stepped away from music. He turned from pioneering musician to pioneering educator and founded The Creative Computing Club. But no sonic wizard stays entombed forever! Pixelh8 is back! His new record, Hard Reset , is out now, further new projects await, and we've dusted off Nerdy Show to give this old pal a warm welcome home. In this episode Cat and Jess travel with PixelH8 trough his new album, track by track, and learn crazy tales like how his first acting gig, on the set of a Tollywood movie, led to him programming a song on decommissioned missile hardware. We'll also discuss the how’s and whys of his departure from music and everything that happened in between, the various eras of chiptune music, his work reclaiming computer chips from dying consoles to build new instruments, spending six hours to make an anime sound on the NES, and much more.

David Byrne Shares True Stories From "True Stories" 25:16

25:16

In this archival interview from 2018, Cat speaks with Talking Heads' David Byrne about the Criterion Collection re-release of his 1986 film, True Stories and the first ever edition of that film's complete soundtrack. The film was Byrne's directorial debut and as it plainly puts it right at the start is "about a bunch of people in Virgil, Texas." The film is part zany, slice of life comedy, part anthropological study - processed through the music of Talking Heads and projected through a loving, art house lens. Cat and Byrne discuss how this remarkable portrait of 80s America came together and other unexpected art.

We're going to PodTales a festival of audio drama and audio fiction. It's free, it's in Cambridge, MA, and it's on October 20th. More info here: https://podtales.org/ We've got a table (A5/6 in the Mt.

Hosted by Cap and featuring Hem "Volonda" Cleveland (The Lucky Die, Dark Dice) Natasha Haverty & Brendan Pelsue (We Are Not These People), Sean Howard (Civilized, Alba Salix: Royal Physician, The End of Time and Other Bothers).

Our panel shares the secrets of wielding spontaneity and collaboration as tools for creating unprecedented drama, laughs, and realism in your stories - as well as how to craft recording environments to enhance and manipulate your cast's performances, how to plot without a script, and how to elevate improvised material to audio excellence with scripted revisions and cinematic production.

Presently the production house known as Nerdy Show is in the midst of some massive movements. After the release of The Call of Cthulhu Mystery Program series 2, Cap and Doug dove right into a new major project for Lightning Dogs (still TBA) - so, after a long day of recording stuff they can't talk about quite yet, and no time to assemble a proper episode of Nerdy Show , they grabbed a friend and piled into the studio for a free-wheeling conversation to catch you up on things and hopefully entertain and delight. Who is this mystery friend? Cap and Doug are joined by Eleanor Edwards, co-host of Consequence Podcast Network 's The Fifth Dimension: A Twilight Zone Podcast , and Cap's partner of 16 years who's been behind-the-scenes this entire time, but hasn't truly graced us with her presence until now. Crazy! We discuss the new Twilight Zone , RoboCop , JFK erotica, and a host of other strange media and critical diversions into the life and times of the Nerdy Show crew.

Which of these absurd ideas will get green lit for production? Whose hopes and dreams will get eaten alive by the Hollywood monster?

Once upon a time there was a short-lived era of gaming based specifically around empowering the user to create. The era of Mario Paint - a console game that came with a mouse, explained how to interface with your VCR, and had full illustration, music, and animation suites... all for the Super Nintendo. It's the best-known, but it wasn't alone. In this episode, Cat, Brandon, and Jon team up with Fangamer's Jazzy Boho to discuss the obscure genre of creative games. These "games" blurred the lines between children's entertainment and art applications and were made to empower users with tools only limited by their imagination and ingenuity. We share stories of software both awful and awesome from the era of 90s gaming when just about anything was possible. Their day may be done, but the legacy lives on! Jazzy is an avant-garde animator who uses Mario Paint in ways heretofore unknown to humankind - she shares some of the secrets of making her surreal and hilarious videos as well as some other retro tools of the trade.

Mutagen Man, Wyrm, The Pizza Thrower, The Utroms, Cudley the Cowlick... The Ninja Turtles are super weird - Awesomely unusual. IDW TMNT writers Tom Waltz and Erik Burnham are joined by Nerdy Show 's Cap to celebrate the legacy of Ninja Turtles and the series' myriad mutations across all continuities. They play with action figures, thumb through old roleplaying books, and sift through the sewer of way cool mutants. Hear the story of how Donatello's perceived "death" in the comics upset parents and turned Waltz's life upside down, the joys of being both a fan AND a creator, and why we've never seen the Turtles ' movies' Master Tatsu in the comics.
