Mike’s family in Texas have been struck with tragedy, and so he shares a bit of their story. Then he cleans up the masterlist with a Fingertips segment. He talks about the joy of fishing, the Rhind Mathematical Papyrus, HR Puffinstuf, and others. When R2 appears, he delivers a baker’s dozen all-new, listener-submitted questions for the Pod-O-Matic, including Pathfinder, colorblindness vs tinnitus, a new Bed-Wed-Behead, gray vs grey, Dragnet, Inspector Gadget, and blue milk. A yeoman’s effort, for sure. You need to listen right now!

Enjoy!

Nerd Pride Radio, Episode 246 – T-H-E-C-O-L-O-R

In the spirit of focusing less on the news, Mike shares his love of the Threedom podcast, from the people responsible for Comedy Bang Bang. Then in the Science Corner, he talks about censorship on the Chinese internet, including the REAL reason why they banned Winnie the Pooh. Plus, he talks about The Goblin–a new dwarf planet–and what it means for Planet Nine. He also grouses about how long the James Webb Space Telescope is taking, but that’s not new. And then in the Unnamed History Segment, he shares some of his own family history, including James Adair who wrote the definitive treatise on the indigenous people of America (or at least definitive for the American Southeast in the Eighteenth Century). On top of all this, there’s nearly a dozen all-new, listener-submitted questions from the Pod-O-Matic, including (but not limited to): 3D printing, forgiveness, Starfinder, eating birds, Necco wafers, and instructions on how to join the extremely secretive Nerd Pride Radio inner circle. This is your chance: break out your Junior Nerd Cadet secret decoder rings ™ and be one of us!

Nerd Pride Radio, Episode 245 – Planet Goblin

In the Science Corner, Mike questions his own assumptions about visualizations by the blind and octopuses on ecstacy. Then, he talks about going to yet another circus and pays it forward to rave about the Imaginary Worlds podcast. R2 delivers 7 all-new, listener-submitted questions on the Pod-O-Matic, regarding mustache wax, three name celebs, black holes, and Mike’s fruitless denials that he is, in fact, an alien.
