SuperNerdLIVE SuperNerdLand

In where the crew sits down after a hiatus to talk about the inane #NotNolan campaign, work conditions in the 1970s, drugs, the importance of not ignoring women's lived experiences even if they defy your expectation, and how great it would be to have hot tube meetings. Come and stay a spell for Season 2 of SuperNerdLIVE!

On today's SuperNerdLIVE, the crew talks about toxicity in the gaming community, the straw men that the media builds around it, and game journalists roles in spreading toxicity.
