Let’s be honest, we’re dorks. We sit around all day and we feed upon pop-culture, as if it’s birdfeed or something similar. Okay, so that’s not a big “selling” image, but it makes sense. Just look at us! A band could drop tour dates and we’d be willing to drop whatever we’re carrying — our books, our phone, our kids — just to go and find out. You might not realize it, but when it comes down to it, we’re slaves to pop-culture. So, why not talk about it?

That’s why there’s Nerdy Show. Run out of Orlando, FL, the online radio program is a weekly, hour-long segment that’s hosted by “Triforce” Mike Pandel, Brian Clevinger (of Atomic Robo and 8-bit Theater fame), John “hex” Carter, and our own Art Director/Staff Writer, Cap Blackard. For most music enthusiasts on here, it might be a little too left of the dial, but that’s if you’re unwilling to celebrate your inner geekdom. There’s really a whole lot of everything for everybody here. Topics range from hot-off-the-press video game updates, various nerdy music news, the low down on the comic world, a few important film updates, and the occasional conversation about the sexuality of Lord Zed from the Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers. Between all that, there’s a great, eclectic mix of music, too. This week, in fact, they’re celebrating the glory of metal! And who would have thought that the term came from “Born To Be Wild” by Steppenwolf? Or that Metroid was the most metal-like star in the Nintendo world? Who knew?

Anyhow, at its core, the program’s just downright fun. Pandel’s laugh is infectious, Clevinger chimes in with some goodies, Carter puts it all together, and Blackard brings the raw data. So, if you’re starved for something “different”, pressed for imeem or lala searches lately, then Nerdy Show is for you. It’s not like we all don’t need a fourth helping of pop-culture every once and awhile. And remember, for every Animal Collective fan, there’s a hundred closet Star Wars fans, too.

So, ch-ch-ch-check it out.
