Writin' Nerdy

Hey y'all, Happy May Day. We're staring down a major deadline here in the USA. Today (May 1st) marks the day that Preident Trump is required to either end military operations (including his blockade) against Iran or go to Congress to get a formal use of force authorization. In light of this and the myrid other Constituional violations the president is guilty of, I thought now would be a good time to explore what it means to be a patriotic American in this time of crisis. I hope you find it enlightening and encouraging.  BE COURAGEOUS! BE FREE! BE AMERICAN!

Hey y'all, I'm just back from the March 28th No Kings rally. It was fantastic y'all, and very inspiring. Democracy and freedom of speech are both still alive and well in the United States. These rallies are happening literally right now all over the nation. It made me want to record and release a rough draft of an essay I'm working on. I hope you enjoy it and find it inspiring. Now is our time. We can save our democracy! We're all in this together! BE BRAVE! BE FREE! BE AMERICAN!

Hey y'all, this is an important one. This weekend, Saturday, March 28th, is the next No Kings rally. These are happening all over the nation. We need everyone to march. The last ralley was the largest protest in US history at 7 million participants. This Saturday, we're hoping for 12 million. Check out their website: https://www.nokings.org/ and find out where you can go to participate in this vitally important moment to save our democracy. I'll see y'all there! BE BRAVE! BE FREE! BE AMERICAN!

Hey y'all, what a day. I'm tired of waking up to bad news, and today has been another doosy. I hope you find this ramble somewhat encouraging and educational.  We're all in this together, and together we WILL save our American democracy. BE BRAVE! BE FREE! BE AMERICAN!

Hey y'all, we're back! Or at least I'm back, Or at least I'm back haphazardly.  I dunno if you've been following the news in the US, but we're having a crisis over here. Our democracy is in danger. So I've decided to retool the Writin' Nerdy podcast into a way for us to do our part in shoring up American democracy ahead of what are certain to be pivotal midterm elections in November of 2026.  Stay tuned for more epiosdes like this: civics essays and speeches that highlight aspects of Amercian government and why the power of the US government stems from the PEOPLE, not an executive, president, or (God forbid) a king. I hope you find this first installment instructive, edifiying, and inspiring.  We're all in this together, and together we WILL save our American democracy. BE BRAVE! BE FREE! BE AMERICAN!

Hey y'all! Sorry for the late notice, but we are delaying the Season 8 premire for another month.  We've all got life stuff going on so we decided that a delay was better than adding more chaotic energy to our lives at the moment!  Never fear, Chris is working on some bonus content to upload.  In the meantime, check out our YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/@writinnerdy6121 We have lots of gaming videos over there for you to watch! We'll see you again soon for Season 8! https://www.twitch.tv/writinnerdy https://www.writinnerdy.com/

Hey, y'all!  We hope your New Year is just swell so far.  We're on hiatus until Feburary 5th, which is when Writin' Nerdy will return with season 8 of the podcast!!  As you may or may not know, each podcast episode is preceeded by the Writin' Nerdy Preshow, a little radio style music program.  Chris acts as our resident disc jockey and complies a playlist from songs he finds on Artlist.io.  So this little bonus episode is acutally a compilation of all the season 7 Writin' Nerdy preshows for y'all to enjoy - nearly 3 hours of music!!!!  Here's to a happy New Year and another sucessful season of the podcast!  We'll see y'all soon!

Yes, yes, I know, we already posted the 100th episode....Well we're doing it again, this time with the Writin' Nerdy Preshow still intact at the top of the episdoe.  Everything else is the same, lol!  We want to thank all of you for being with us for this wonderful ride!  Here's to many more episodes in the future! The 100th episode was so much fun to do! We had Brandon, Chris, Jason, Jay, and Zac all on at the same time!!! We grabbed our beverages, talked about games, books, and movies of the year (and of course went down many rabbit trails)!  Just a quick note of warning - this one gets a little raunchier than usual, lol, so keep that in mind before you go blasting this episode over your Bluetooth speaker in a public park or something!! We're on hiatus now until February, but we look foward to cooming back stong with season 8 of the Writin' Nerdy Podcast!!!!! Happy New Year, y'all!!!!
