    The Architects of the Matrix — Top 10 Nerdiest Black Tech Creations #139 [Black Nerd Podcast]

    We love our gadgets, our high-frame-rate gaming, and our crystal-clear Discord calls—but how often do we look under the hood to see who wrote the code? In Episode 139, the Black Nerd Podcast is geek-diving into the "Source Code" of modern life. We’re counting down the Top 10 Nerdiest Tech Creations from Black Inventors. This isn't your average history lesson. We’re talking about the high-level engineering, mathematical modeling, and "mad scientist" energy that gave us everything from the interchangeable video game cartridge to the 3D holographic tech being used in NASA labs today. If you've ever called yourself a gamer, a coder, or a tech-head, this episode is a tribute to the pioneers who built the playground we play in every single day.

    In this episode of the Black Nerd Podcast, we’re heading to the altar to celebrate the unions that defined our childhoods and shaped our imaginations.

    “Top 10 Strongest Black Love Affairs in Nerd Culture?” #137 [Black Nerd Podcast]

    Love isn't just a subplot; in the multiverse, it’s a superpower. As we kick off Black History Month 2026 & speed closer to Valentines Day, we’re moving beyond the "struggle" and centering on Black Joy and Connection. In this episode, we’re counting down the Top 10 Strongest Love Affairs in Nerd Culture. We aren't just talking about "ships"—we’re talking about the ride-or-die partnerships that have survived cosmic reboots, zombie apocalypses, and the high-stakes world of public education. From the royal union of T'Challa and Storm to the slow-burn "nerd-meets-nerd" chemistry of Janine and Gregory, we explore why these couples resonate so deeply with the Blerd community. Join us as we analyze how these relationships challenge historical stereotypes, celebrate vulnerability, and prove that in every timeline, Black love is a radical and necessary force.

    Khleo Thomas Shows Us Some Of His Nerdiest Treasures & Tells Fly Stories! #136 [Black Nerd Podcast]

    Maintaining a balance between your creative passions and the "real world" is a challenge every blerd (black nerd) faces when they decide to hit record. In this episode, we’re peeling back the curtain on the business, the hustle, and the mental health required to survive as an independent nerdy content creator. Whether you're a cosplayer, a YouTuber, or a comic book writer, being "independent" means you are the CEO, the intern, and the talent all at once. We’ll discuss how to build a brand that stays true to your geeky roots while navigating an industry that doesn't always have a blueprint for us.

    The "Black Cons vs. The World" [Black Nerd Podcast]

    Segregation or Sanctuary: Do We Still Need Blerd-Specific Spaces? The Controversy: As "Black Cons" grow in popularity, some argue that by creating our own conventions, we are retreating from the main stage and making it easier for "Big Cons" (like SDCC or NYCC) to ignore Black creators. The Debate: Is "Blerd" a necessary label for protection and networking, or is it becoming a "marketing gimmick" that limits Black creators to a smaller niche? The Heat: Pose the question: "If San Diego Comic-Con was perfectly inclusive tomorrow, would Blerdcon still need to exist?" News TNA’s AMC Debut: TNA Wrestling officially debuted on AMC this week (Jan 15) with TNA Genesis 2026. Was the premiere "underwhelming" or a solid first step for a brand trying to reclaim its spot?
