NerdVsWorld: Recent Episodes
Simon Potthast (Spindles)
NerdVsWorld is a podcast from two thirtysomething nerds from Oxford: Brendan and Spindles. It was born out of the amalgamation of Brendan's NerdVsWorld youtube show and Si and Ady's Eclectic Technicolour Podcast of Awesome.
Every fortnight the lads tackle the latest news in Film, TV, Comics, Gadgets, Nerd Culture and more.
As well as this we also have special guests on the show in the form of various authors, actors and musicians. So far there have been appearances from the likes of Robert Rankin, Jonathan Green, Emma Newman, Megan Hayes, Professor Elemental and Bitter Ruin to name but a few.
New episodes are released fortnightly on Fridays and you can find the latest episodes of NerdVsWorld below, or you can subscribe below.

Hello, and welcome to a very special edition of NerdVsWorld. On this episode I chat with Pop Music Academic and Pop Culture Nerd, Dr. Jennifer Otter Bickerdike, about her latest book “Why Vinyl Matters.”
In “Why Vinyl Matters”, Jen chats with some great and notable names within the music industry (Henry Rollins, Lars Ulrich, Nick Hornby, Norman Cook, Fat Mike.. and many more) about their memories of vinyl.
We discuss these memories on the podcast, looking at how one’s connection to creating music can affect the way in which you idolise the vinyl medium. We also talk about the similarities between record collectors and comic collectors, how our collections help define us, the love for physical media, and what comic shops could learn from the resurgence and relevance of the modern record shop.
Jen also adds her Five Films to our “NerdVsWorld Films You Have to See” list.
Follow Jen on Twitter at: https://twitter.com/JenOtterBickerd

Hello, welcome to Episode 81: A View to a Nerd; here’s a little bit about what’s on our show this episode.
Spindles brings us his round up from MCM London, making Bren jealous with all his talk about how nice Sean Maher is.
Bren was at the UK Games Expo the following weekend, you can hear him get very excited about Temp Worker Assassins, have an utter fanboy moment over Big Potato Games, and badly try to explain Shahrazad from Osprey Games.

Bren gives his thoughts on Wonder Woman. Let us know what you think of his round up.
The guys give their pitches on how they would go about saving a franchise that has arguably been hurt by its last two offerings. Bear in mind that these pitches aren’t point by point summaries of a plot breakdown, but rather an overview of where the focus of these films should return.
As usual you can keep up to date with the guys on Twitter. Get in touch, tell us what you think. Did you enjoy Wonder Woman? How would you approach saving the Alien Franchise.

We recently had the pleasure of talking to the delightful Sophie Aldred and the Seventh Doctor himself, Sylvester McCoy at this year's Sci Fi Weekender.
We talk about how Sophie came to play the iconic role of Ace, her thoughts on a slightly darker doctor, and a truly impressive Ace/Tree Fu Tom mash up.
Sylvester gives an insight into his unique style of convention Q&A's, his influence on the direction of Doctor Who, The Five-Ish Doctors reboot and also commits his 5 films to our list.

This week, Spindles, Ady, Brendan and Emma give reactions to Guardians of the Galaxy, recent Marvel News, Upcoming Doctor Who, out and about at events over the summer, the devastating news about Robin Williams and more.
I will warn you in advance that the last 15 - 20 minutes of this show get very heavy indeed. In the week that Robin Williams lost his fight against depression, it was bound to happen that we would end up talking about it from our perspective. All of us suffer from depression and have done for a very long time. If hearing about this sort of thing first hand is a problem, then I would recommend you leave the cast at the point we start talking about Robin Williams.
More than an hour of the show is exactly what you've come to expect, but there is a long pause before we begin the discussion as the final point of the show should you wish to avoid it. We'll be back next time with our usual mix of beligerence and stupidity, but we've all been hit hard by this and couldn't see any way around talking about it.
To continue the serious side of this show, if you do suffer from depression and do need someone to talk to, if you have no-one else you feel comfortable talking to then please do try getting in touch with MIND. They are a mental health charity who can provide advice and support to anyone experiencing mental health issues. http://www.mind.org.uk/

So, this weekend we all trooped over the treacherous wastelands of Mordor to Pwllheli in North Wales for the fifth Sci Fi Weekender. I had the absolute pleasure of conducting the inteview with the very lovely René Auberjonois on the main stage.
Unfortunately due to a technical glitch it appears that my admission to The Little Mermaid being one of my favourite films and the ensuing chorus of Les Poissons will remain only in the memory of the attendees. Aside from that, I present you the panel in full. Enjoy.
