Nerdhat
Nerdy. Nostalgic. Mildly Inappropriate. This is Nerdhat.
NERDY: Across the spectrum of arts and entertainment, from fine art films to the latest MCU blockbuster, we discuss creations which bring out our inner nerd.
NOSTALGIC: We're millennials who are raising children, which means like many of you we are reflecting on the influences - both inside and outside of the arts - which shaped us as children and young adults.
MILDLY INAPPROPRIATE: We Nerdhatters like to have fun, which does mean we will crack some jokes that aren't fit for "polite company" (whatever that is). We know that might offend some people, but that's ok - it means they need to find another podcast.
If you too need to let your hair out of your hat and shake it loose from time to time, then join us! Let's get down and nerdy.
