Issue No.061 - Live from Penguicon, its Friday Night!

In this very special issue we are once again live from my absolute favorite convention Penguicon.  This year OND was specifically invited back to bring our shenanigans by Con Chair Heather Williams so it was only fitting that we brought her to the microphone for the show.  We were also joined by two very special Guests of Honor, acclaimed author of the Dresden Files and the Codex Alera Jim Butcher and author of the Honor Harrington series and other numerous works David Weber.  We pour one out for meme legend Chuck Norris, share stories about things we found in old book stores, and talk about being nerd parents.

Issue No.060 - The Long and Winding Road

After our holiday break, we are back with another rambling episode.  We share some stories about our kids, we talk about what is going on with Star Wars, and we plug Penguicon and our upcoming live recording.

Issue No.059 - The Great Louvre Caper

Happy Halloween, members of the OND nation.  We are back with another Halloween release, this issue marking five on-again, off-again years of podcasting.  In this issue, we talk about plans for our Halloween, the recent Great 2025 Louvre Caper, get nostalgic over some video games, and discuss recent developments in the Star Wars media sphere.

Issue No.058 - That One Time at Band Camp

As summer turn to fall and the seasons change so to does Old Nerds Drinking.  After hosting since the beginning Roejen has decided to step away for a while and we clink our glasses to him.  We say hello to friend of the podcast and new cohost Anthony.  We pour one out for AoL dialup internet and reminisce about the before times, the long long ago. Finally we relive memories of band camp as my daughter now must endure it.

Issue No.057 - Crime Spree

May came in like a lion and out at point five past light speed.  In this issue we pour one out for a TV Icon.  We cover the most important OND May tradition, another round of "Weed Strain or Racehorse".  In another story of John's Poor Impulse Control we have a reading from the Australian Bogan translation of "War and Peace".  We learn how Gen Z is killing the Yakuza and cover a local rash of brazen Pokemon robberies.   

Issue No.056 - Sweet Zombie Jesus

After a rather lengthy hiatus due to tragic technology death, OND is back... again.  Recorded on the holiday formally known as Easter Rojen and I pour one out for a lengthy role call of celebrities, catch up on the cavalcade of things we missed, more stories of "It Came from John's Poor Impulse Control", and we discuss why we are both currently in love with physical media.  With luck, we'll be back with more shows as we now witness the power of my fully operational podcasting station.

Issue No.055 - Life in the Fast Food Lane

So we had a whole bunch of topics we wanted to cover in this issue since it had been a while since we recorded.  Instead we launched into an almost two hour deep dive to talk about Fast Food and a few other random off shoot topics.  Grab yourself a snack before you listen to this one, you are going to be hungry.

Issue No.054 - The Nerd High Holy Weeks

Come celebrate the two high Holy Weeks of the Nerd Calendar with us as we talk the San Diego Comic Con and Gen Con.  We also have a spoiler heavy review of Deadpool and Wolverine and drool over some of the upcoming items in the Prop Store's Summer Auction.

Issue No.053 - The Apple

It's a summer without blockbuster movies so far so in this issue of Old Nerds Drinking we discuss possibly one of the strangest movies ever made that was so weird even Rojen, connoisseur of weird and strange movies, was blown away.  We finally talk about the amazing Fallout tv show from Amazon Prime and get to talk a little bit about the Acolyte on the Star Wars front.
