The Nerds Awaken
Come on now, we all NERD hard over something pop culture. Perhaps it's that show that will never disappear from your "Keep Watching" queue, or that book you stan so much, you can recall the exact page of any given moment. Maybe you nerd out for that actor you have more pictures of in your phone than you have of your actual loved ones. The Nerds Awaken celebrates all things pop culture - from fledging interests to hardcore obsessions - with unabashed joy, laughter, and a passion that our family members would call, "grounds for an intervention."

Falling in Love with The Love Hypothesis

In this episode we rave about our favorite book of 2021, The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood. A smart, sweet contemporary romcom with surprising origins, The Love Hypothesis has all our favorite tropes: fake dating, slow burn, only one bed (with an ironic twist!) and a prickly hero with a cinnamon roll center. Featuring a brilliant Ph.D. candidate as the heroine and set in the high stakes world of academia, it's no wonder we fell in love with this delightful novel. Tune in and hear us give you all the compelling (and smutty) reasons why you NEED to read it.
