In comic book mythology, an origin story is an account that reveals how a character gained their powers and the circumstances under which they became a protagonist or antagonist. In nerd culture, every person has an origin story that set them down the path of being a lifelong nerd. These are their stories.

In this nerdy origin story, we interrogate Eat Sleep Nerd host Josh Winter about his nerdy background. He tells us about his love of Star Trek, filmmaking, Warhammer, the story of how he almost became a music educator, and more.

We did it! The Eat Sleep Nerd podcast is officially 100 episodes old! We celebrate by reminiscing, looking forward to Eat Sleep Nerd 3.0, and geeking out on Superman, Assassin's Creed, and NCAA College Football. In addition to that, Corey shares some big news about the future of the studio.

It's the first ever Eat Sleep Nerd game show, Nerdy Knockout! We test the nerdy knowledge to see which of the contestants knows their movie trivia the best. The contestants guess the movies through a series of movie trivia questions. They guess famous movie quotes, rearrange films based on release date and box office earnings, guess superhero movies based on the theme songs, and more.
