About This Podcast

Four hillbillies in their 30's discuss anything and everything "nerdy" from cartoons vs anime to the best obscure Table Top RPGs to pretend to be lizardmen in. The Hills Have Nerds is a monthly podcast about nerd history, pop culture, nerdy endeavors, and the passion and creativity that ties it all together. Come join us each month as we take on a new topic and sometimes bring on our friends and special guests. Hopefully you'll enjoy listening as much as we enjoy talking!
