Send us Fan MailEpisode 250 of Nerdery & Murdery is live, and this week we flip the script with another Wife Swap episode.On the Nerdery side, Geoffrey takes over and dives into Genesis, focusing on the band’s evolution after Peter Gabriel’s departure. From A Trick of the Tail to Duke, Invisible Touch, and We Can’t Dance, we explore how Genesis transformed from progressive rock pioneers into one of the biggest stadium acts in the world. Along the way, we talk about Phil Collins stepping into the spotlight, the shift from epic suites to chart-topping hits, and a personal memory from the 1992 Irving, Texas show during The Way We Walk tour. On the Murdery side, Zig steps into the darker side of history with the Armenian Genocide. Beginning in the spring of 1915 and continuing into 1916, the Ottoman Empire carried out a systematic campaign of deportation, violence, and mass death against the Armenian population. The events remain one of the most devastating humanitarian tragedies of the early 20th century.A band reinventing itself across decades on one side.A historical tragedy that reshaped lives and nations on the other.Just another week of the Nerd and the Murd.Support the show
