MC Hawking (Ken Lawrence) and I met online over ten years ago when I posted my misgivings with nerdcore's problematic potential racist overtones. We performed together in and around Boston for the following decade, culminating in a show together in front of the actual Stephen Hawking at the STARMUS festival in 2016. On today's episode, we talk about nerdcore's early years, the future of Lawrence's project and his conflicted relationship with MC Frontalot. Thanks Ken, it was great catching up!Special Guest: MC Hawking.
