First, Mike nerds out about robot naming patterns. Then, in the Pod People segment, Mike mourns the loss of the Thrilling Adventure Hour podcast. In a new Nerd Culture Report, Mike explores the cultural significance of zombies and copyright law. Plus there’s tons of good TV on ROKUUUUUUUU! But that’s only the first half of the show. R2 shows up for the Pod-O-Matic and rolls out all sorts of goodies from the listeners: Mike’s tell-all memoir, Hawaiian shirts, nerd animals, and magicians. If that’s not enough, there’s coffee, superhero movies, messing with telemarketers, and Mike’s most embarrassing moments of gullible stupidity. This is the podcast you’ve been waiting your whole life for, so don’t let this magic moment pass you by. Listen now!
