I’m your nerd host, Chris Hardwick
Nerdist is a place where we nerds come together and share the nerdery that we find. It's also my home to various elements of the Nerdist Empire. You might recognize me from TV. You don't realize that's where you know me from, but it is. You think you went to college with me or I look like your cousin's friend, but that is not the case. At one time or another you stumbled upon me on your moving picture box in such cerebral gems as MTV's "Singled Out" and Noam Chomsky's "Shipmates." and so much more...
Say hello to the contributors.
Hey everybody, I have been really digging the show. I think it is great to have a comic book podcast with high profile guests. However I’ve noticed during the stack segment the guests get real quiet. Is there any way you guys could get your picks to them ahead of time so they might have a chance to read them and have something to say?
@Buddy: That’s something we’ve tried to work on throughout the run of the show, and we do give the books to the guests before the show – just sometimes, they have nothing to say about ‘em! Or, if they’re working comic professionals, DON’T want to say anything about ‘em, so they’re not talking bad about a co-worker.
Point being, yes, we’d love to get them in the discussion more, just not sure it’ll be feasible all the time.
Thanks for watching/listening, by the way!
Love the show. I wish it were an hour long. I am so stoked for the next episode with John Benjamin (aka Archer Sterling). Make sure to interview the phrases “Mulatto Butts”, “Danger Zone”, and “Gator” in the interview!!!
Some suggestions:
I noticed you edited down (shortened) the intro music. Please bring it back.
Probe your celebrity guests more about their geeky side. What was their first comic book, favorite superhero, what do they currently read…
Review comic-book related merchandise (*see http://www.thinkgeek.com/ — check out the Avenger’s Cologne!!!)
@Jason: Well, the audio podcast is still an hour, so there’s that! And good comment about the geeky side, I think that’s something we hit as much as possible – we talked to Benjamin about it quite a bit – but may amp up more in the coming weeks.
Thanks for watching and listening!
