The Sound of Tomorrow

Episode 52: Nerd Love

Do you know what it feels like for a nerd? The gang looks back on this year's Fan Expo Canada, and looks forward to the forthcoming Rochester Sci-Fi Anime Con. Heather and Ross are joined by our pals Sarah Smart and Ricky Ratteau to discuss the state of modern geekdom. With nerdy stuff dominating the pop-culture scene, what does it even mean to be a dork these days? We'll LARP all over our MMORPGs until we figure it out!

*Not enough? Head over to Roc-Con(!) on Saturday, September 24 at the Main Street Armory in Rochester from 10 to 6. We'll be there all day chatting, podcasting, and giving away lots o' free swag. For bonus fun, swing by our Podcasting panel at 2:30.
