Nerd Pride Radio

Mike opens with a History segment about Julie D’Aubigny--La Maupin--swashbuckling, cross-dressing, bisexual, badass, opera-singing swordswoman of the 17th century. Then on the Science Corner, hatching eggs without shells, the beautiful and painful Cowkiller Ant, and riveting talk about lichens. Mike gives an update about his Pathfinder game at the Gaming Table, and in Pod People, he raves about the newly launched Futurama podcast: Slurmcast. All of this, and there’s still 7 brand new listener-submitted questions on the Pod-O-Matic, and a full load of Listener Betrayal to round us out. Listening to this week’s episode is also worth 3 full points of extra-credit on your final grade, so start early. Every minute counts.

Enjoy!

Dang it Mike! (I'm just being picky now, but I really like the Mike was wrong segment lol) Cow Killer is two words not one

This was a great episode! Really needed that smooth buttery voice ( ) in my ear this morning. Keep up the awesome work you do! I look forward to this every single week!

ok now im really back... You are so wrong! Excalibur was NOT the sword in the stone! That angers me to no end when someone says that! Excalibur was given to Arthur by The Lady of The Lake. The Sword in the stone was a completely different sword! *Rant over*

Yeah I know. I just learned that about two weeks ago for the first time. So when it came up, I couldn't remember which was which and decided I'd just take a chance.

So close!

Good thing I wear make-up for me, not for anyone else haha

Also: I find Nelly absolutely stunning. I wish my eyes were like hers.

Pretty and I will leave it well enough alone.

So pretty. Really.

I met an ex-Senator (Max Cleland), and he was an amazing person. So I can understand what you were talking about.

So I was looking up how to pre-order the rejected princesses book so I get it ASAP when it comes out in October, and I was glancing and some of the ones that he's actually announced will be in the book and look who it is?! Julie!

Which reminds me that I need to catch up on that site, I should add it to my Feedly.

A) I've been to Rejected Princesses and loved what I saw and then never bookmarked it or remembered to go back. Thank you.

B) La Maupin is an amazing story. She's a movie waiting to happen.
