Welcome to the Fake Nerd Podcast
A podcast striving to put a positive spin on the world of pop culture
The Fake Nerd Podcast was started in 2016 with the express purpose to keep it light and fun. Harkening back to the days of over-the-counter conversations at your local comic shop, we want to make sure that we provide knowledgeable and in-depth discussions every week.
Please watch our tribute to a Legend!
