What is NW NERD?
These are the stores that make us nerds. NW NERD chronicles the people and the passions that make geek life so great with original feature stories, in-depth reporting, interviews, and discussions from the geek community. It’s the collector who turned a passion for pop culture relics into a Star Wars Church. It’s the tea blender who uses her unique form of synesthesia to make fandom flavors. It’s the musicians taking 8-bit melodies to the symphonic stage. It’s that and a lot more.
NW NERD is hosted by pop culture journalist Dyer Oxley. His work on the podcast has received awards from the Society of Professional Journalists and local pop culture conventions. Dyer has interviewed Felecia Day, Cassius Marsh (Seahawks), Travis Willingham (Critical Role), Jim Demonakos (Emerald City Comic Con), Russell Hodgkinson (Z Nation), Craig Engler (Z Nation), Phoenix Jones, and many others.
NW NERD has also been voted the region’s best podcast (more than once), and has been featured on local radio and TV.
Note: You certainly do not have to be from the Northwest to enjoy NW NERD Podcast. Dyer is from the Northwest, and he is a nerd, so there you go.
