So a few weeks ago Dwight and I went to record a couple podcasts with the dudes in Unshaven Comics. While we were there we just HAPPENED to run into Reed Richards and Ben Grimm, aka Mr. Fantastic and the Thing, from the world-famous Fantastic Four. There was no way we could let the meeting pass without asking them to speak a little bit on the topic of next month's podcast... SEX. So, if you ever wondered what the FF have to say about gettin' it on, wonder no more. Please enjoy this tease of May's episodes, the first of which drops next Tuesday! This episode features:
- Reed Richards: The Joys of Elastic Sex
- Ben Grimm: An Amorous Q&A

This past weekend our good friend Marc Fishman asked Dwight and myself to fill in for his vacationing buddies on the Unshaven Rant-Cast, a twice-weekly comic-centric show put together by the uber-talented creators of Unshaven Comics. Check out episode 53.1 for a run-down of comic news and reviews, while 53.2 features Dwight ranting about the X-Men (possibly he feels some kinship with Andrew Bentley's screed against Identity Crisis in our Challengers episode below). And while we were recording, we may have gotten Marc to do something cool for us as well...

So here's something: April is the last "themeless" episode of NP:YS. The music episode was so popular that we decided to have a rough unifying principle guiding each recording going forward. Still, three of the four stories represented in this part of April's show have a kind of childhood/growing up theme to them, so get ready to wax nostalgic! This recording features:
- Dwight & Eric: Breakfast at Tiffany's
- Claire Friedman: Youth Nerd Culture Today
- Sawyer Heppes: Ferris Bueller in Batman Underwear
- Steve Persch: Death to America ('s Funniest Home Videos)
- Alex Talavera: On Soul Mates
- Dwight & Eric: The Hook
- Dwight & Eric: I Want It That Way

At the end of last month we hosted our first ever live remote show at Challengers Comics, 1845 N. Western Ave in Chicago. It was a total blast and we really appreciate all our old and new friends who came out, as well as the accommodating staff at that lovely shop. Here's the episode that resulted! We had to cut a few things due to some shaky audio (though mostly this episode's up to our regular quality), and you'll find a few more prepared comedy bits than usual, so we could introduce the new audience to what it is the Nerdologues does. In this episode you can enjoy:
- Dwight & Eric: I Just Had Sex
- Nerdologues: Magneto Was Right
- Claire Freidman: Growing Up with Batman
- Andrew Bentley: A Grievance with Identity Crisis
- Tim Manning: On Meeting Christopher Nolan
- Claire & Eric: Challengers
- Ed Soderberg: Battle Wounds for DS9
- DeAndre McNeal: Spider-Man in the Flesh
- Nerdologues: Fantastic Foreplay
- Nerdologues: Awesome Dude Rebuttal
- Dwight & Eric: I Believe I Can Fly
Next episode recording's THIS Sunday, March 18 at the Upstairs Gallery in Andersonville. Hope you can make it!
