Chris Haigh and Emma Platt are two best mates who met on a bunch of other podcasts, live across the North of the UK, and are unapologetic nerds. They catch up once a month, talking about anything and everything nerdy (and non-nerdy). Swearing non-optional.

A quick heads-up that this episode talks about serious gynaecological and fertility stuff that some listeners might want to avoid.

This week we catch up after an accidental three month hiatus (we were on a break!), discuss all things Drag Race, podcasts we're obsessed with, and Chris' impossibly giddy reaction to *that* surprise Cloverfield release.

Welcome to 2018 and to a new year of NBN. In this special New Year's special, Chris and Emma tackle their must-see movies and TV of the next twelve months, including all things Marvel, the possibility of not one but two Cloverfield movies(!), and even the high concept of their beloved Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson facing off against a transformed super-ape.

They also discuss New Year's resolutions, misogyny, making friends with random dogs, and serious mental health care for the next year.

This very special and very extended holiday special sees Chris & Emma take on all things Halloween, including their opinions on the best spooky and non-spooky movies to watch over, the importance of Halloween costumes, and the joy of a good scare.

They also talk fake seances, Hufflepuff pride, mental health, the importance of avoiding chub rub, and even throw in a good ode to two of drag's superstar comedy queens.

Get your devil horns, whiskey, hoodie and glowing fist at the ready as Emma and Chris tackle the offerings of the Marvel TV universe on Netflix with the arrival of 'The Defenders'. A little late to the party and through very reverb-y audio, they discuss the amazingness of Jessica Jones, the 'meh'-ness of Iron Fist, and talk about the future Marvel shows they're excited for.

There's also talk of McDonald's orders gone wrong, pimping out boyfriends, and the usual levels of inappropriateness.

Prepare to do a death drop, feel sickening, and snatch your wigs as Chris and Emma take on their mutual obsession - the queens of 'RuPaul's Drag Race'. Going season to season (even the lost first season), they tackle everything 'RPDR' including their favourite queens of each season, which queen deserved to win their season, and even guess at which queens will make it to All Stars Season Three.

In this dark and deep seventh episode, Emma and Chris discuss the themes of Emma's top-notch Masters thesis all about gender, horror, monstrosity, and transformation, in a spiritual sister episode to Emma's own 'Dead Meat' podcast.

There will be gore, there will be mayhem, there will be discussion and some inappropriate giggling. You have been warned.
