Before we head into the future, we take a pit stop into the past – on an all new episode of…The Surly Nerd!

Greetings adventurers, and welcome to this weeks installment of The Surly Nerd! After a long hiatus due to technology related issues, we are happy to finally be releasing our 150th episode to you!

This weeks episode is a lot more personal than normal. Usually we would be bringing you all the best nerdy news for your ears, but because we are celebrating the big 150 – we going to open our lives up to you, our faithful adventurers. This weeks episode will cover what got us into being the geeks that we are today, the ups and downs of being nerds, being picked on and loving geeky things so much that we decided to make a news show about it.

Next week will be a proper return to form, but until then, thank all of you who tune in every week to listen to us rant. If it wasn’t for you, we would just be two assholes screaming into a microphone every week.
