Prepare to get nerdy...
Gather round the campfire boys and girls! Sit back, relax, and settle in for some animal stories from Dawn, Chris, and Byron! You may want to bring some tissues as well as we do discuss the dogs we all have lost in the past year or so. But, never fear, we do get around to some fun stories as Byron relates some adventures from his farming days back in 1967.
So, sit back, relax, and prepare to get nerdy!

Short Takes episodes are conversations taken from either before or after we start recording. This episode has Chris and Byron sharing stories of how their sons discovered the porn channels on the cable or satellite providers, and then tried to sneak watching some movies only to find out those movies showed up on the bill! Then Drezz shares a story of a friend who would stay up late and record porn movies to then sell copies at school. We do tie this all into a nerdy conclusion!
So, sit back, relax, and prepare to get nerdy! -

On this episode we dive into our individual stories about our loss of innocence as young children or adults and tie that into how it shaped our becoming nerds & geeks. A lot of cultural references to movies, magazines, or TV shows that shaped our awareness of sexuality and how that effected how we fit into society's "norms".
As mentioned in the podcast, below are images of the Playboy magazine Byron mentions. Only one is NSFW, but it shows how a company like Sony used risqué imagery in advertisements in Playboy as opposed to the vanilla imagery Sony used elsewhere.

Tonight we have invited on two friends of the podcast who happen to both be historians. We chat about their lives as historians and how most people immediately get bored when you mention history as they recall those classes back in high school where you had to memorize historical dates. Well, that's not happening tonight!
Our guests Kristen Glasgow and Brian Kovalesky quickly dispel any notion that they are boring people or that history is boring as well. We dive into how we all are creating our own histories and how we may fit in, big or small, into the world history so far. We all have fun along the way but also get into a heavy topic or two.
