Posted on October 19, 2020October 19, 2020 by Tim Ludy

Greetings Entreprenerds!

My guests this week are Roni, Jaime, and Rachel from Nerdy Curious who return to the podcast after appearing in Episode 25.

After coming together through the NerdHQ community at San Diego Comic Con; Roni, Jaime, Rachel and Jen started a blog to share their nerdy interests and hobbies. The blog covers Nerdy Designs with nerd fashion, accessories and cosplay, Nerdy Eats for nerd-inspired food and drink recipes, and other realms of the nerd and con community.

Their It’s On the List Podcast follows the Curious Crowd as they cross trips, experiences and classic movies off their list.

Recently, Nerdy Curious made the move to Twitch as the new home of their Nerds R Us 2.0 show which interviews members of the nerd community and their Curious Bytes show which discusses what’s happening behind the scene, current Discoveries & Distractions, and Curious Qs.
