    Beginning SFN's "Snowfall"

    When an evil sorcerer casts an eternal Winter over the realm, a young dwarvian warrior princess named Madelyn must journey to the ends of the world to bring an end to the dark lord's curse. Accompanied by a rather unorthodox party that consists of an elven mage, human priest, a dark elf ranger, and a friendly orc, can Maddy and the others set aside their differences for the greater good?

    Concluding SFN's "Tides of War"

     It's nearly been 900 days since the Siege of Leningrad began, but the city's liberation is at hand thanks to Vitali's modified armed tank. He'll have to collaborate with the uptight acting Commander Dubov's lackies, however, and there's no telling if they'll be willing to play nice with his secret project. Will Vitelli be able to find common ground with his Soviet "comrades," or is this surprise assault on Leningrad already destined to fail?

    SFN Podcast: Netflix's Avatar, Dune 2, the Perfect Run

Erik set sail on his annual Star Trek crews and got to rub elbows with a multitude of Trekkie icons. Abby gives a stellar recommendation to a Deadpool-meets-Groundhog-Day adventure called "the Perfect Run".

    Climax of SFN's "Tides of War"

    World War 2 Ukranian military engineer Vitali is making the closest thing to a mech suit. While simple in design, it could very well turn the tide of the war for his country during one of its most dire hours. He'll have to face a different sort of battle before he even gets an opportunity to see his mocked-up T-34 tank taken to the frontlines, however: his own command.

    Escapism or Social Commentary

    Escapism or Social Commentary

    This Nerdy Chat discussion faces an extremely thin line, given the key different-yet-inevitable-correlation between stories that are designed to help audiences take a break from reality in the form of escapism as opposed to those that have an underlying message concerning society.

MattBecket ,

Great discussions on Pop Nerdstuff with a storyteller/writer's slant.

I always enjoy this podcast. The discussions are presented in such a way that the listener feels as if they are in on conversation. Essentially, it is tea time with nerdspeak.

Level up

I really enjoy when they go deep on fascination topics. Not a big fan of the meandering banter that detracts from the topic at hand. There are some great conversations and insights. I wish Scott would listen to an episode in his car so that he would assume the “Podcast Position”. Abby is in the sweet spot, but the other two are either way too loud or way too soft with the sound levels, which makes listening in the car literally painful!
