Welcome to Nerdist Camp
The podcast is up and running but as far as the website goes “the boxes have only just arrived at camp”.
Please bear with us while we unpack 🙂
Kris Grainger & Andi Elliott present a weekly podcast that aims to free the geek!
Join drill sergeants Kris & Andi as they set up camp and parade all things geek for your inspection.
Each week they’ll be raiding the barracks for all things gaming, music, hobbies, role-play, sci-fi, astronomy, science, conspiracy, unsolved mystery, toys, comics, cosplay, film, documentary, coffee, vinyl, home recording, computers, AI, retro-tech, radiation, cold-war, history, UFO…and so on.
Join us under the canvas for a delve into the world of the nerd, and make suggestions on Discord for topics and questions that you’d like us to look into. From time to time we’ll have guests in the mess tent who are experts in particular topics.
So keep us on your podcast provider’s radar and keep your comms open, because Nerdist Camp needs you to sign up right now!
