Welcome to episode 1!
In segment 1, we dust off our podcasting cobwebs by introducing ourselves and what we we are about - sort of a 'getting to know us' segment. We discuss our own special brand of nerdetry and touch on what being a nerd means to each of us by talking a bit about our lives and hobbies.
In segment 2 (starting around 1hr 9 min 50 sec) we discuss the Paramount lawsuit to stop a fan-made Star Trek film along with some community reaction about Klingon being a real language. Later (1 hr 29 min 29 sec) we get into nerd-rage and how it isn't just limited to the nerd subset of our culture. From politics to guns to mainstream entertainment, we examine how social media and memes fundamentally changes how we communicate and discuss important topics.

This episode does run long, but hey, cut us some slack. We've had nearly 4 years of pent up stuff to talk about. Thank you for listening!
