First a little Metatalk, as Mike explains the April 1st update, the continuing broken state of the Nerd Pride forums, and his birthday gift from his brother. There’s a nerd culture report about the soon-to-be free Toonz animation software, and the naming of the newest Antarctic research vessel in the Science Corner. There’s miscellaneous gaming talk, and then Mike uses Glenn Beck’s review of Batman vs. Superman as a launching point to talk about the us vs. them mentality so pervasive in today’s world. After all of that, R2 finally shows up with the Pod-O-Matic. There’s listener-submitted questions about self-driving cars, Mike’s time in county jail, and the best way to have pancakes, along with almost a half-dozen other topics. Come revel in the nerdity!
Enjoy!
