From Sound Bytes to Storytime: A Dive into 20 Years of Podcasting

Wise_N_Nerdy: Where Fatherhood Meets Fandom

In this exciting episode of the Wise_N_Nerdy podcast, hosts Charles, Joe, and Kurt dive into a jam-packed discussion that starts with the Question of the Week: "What do you think about putting out sound effects for our patrons?" Charles pitches a creative idea of making MP3s of custom sound bytes or memorable clips from the show, offering exclusive content for their patrons.

The dice roll kicks off the "What Are You Nerding Out About?" segment, where Joe shares his excitement for Brandon Sanderson's creative writing college lectures available on YouTube. Charles takes a trip down memory lane, reflecting on his 20 years as a podcaster and his recent experience with T-Mobile's Wifi service. Kurt continues to be enthralled by Balatro while also diving into Emberward.

Next up, the dice guide us to the "Daddy, Tell Me a Story" segment. Charles regales the listeners with fascinating tales from his two decades in podcasting, including some embarrassing moments, memorable guests, and incredible experiences that shaped his journey.

The "Council of Dads" segment takes a nostalgic turn as the guys discuss major companies that have vanished from the marketplace, like Toys "R" Us, Radio Shack, and Blockbuster, sparking a conversation about how times have changed.

As always, the fates deliver some humor with a couple of bad dad jokes—one about laundry detergent and another, more controversial joke about Kobe Bryant that was in poor taste. Finally, the show wraps up with the "How Do I...?" segment, where the hosts offer practical advice on basic car maintenance and tips for avoiding scams at the mechanic's shop.
