SPOILERS: If you are passionate about something, that makes you a nerd/geek about that something. Wil Wheaton addresses this in a way that had profound meaning on me, even at the age of 29 or 30 when I first watched the video.
We should all aspire to be more like Wil Wheaton… anyway, we’re not here about him or his kind words (and there is another video worth watching if you need kind words about being a nerd, I won’t put the video here, but you can click this link to watch it), but for a podcast! Get ‘Em Next Year took the podcast LIVE on stage at FanExpo Philadelphia and talked about Heartbreak in Fandom: in sports and in pop culture.

I love a good live podcast—they tend to be slightly different than the normal show and are different enough from the panels I run that they hold a special place in my heart. It could be because I’ve done live podcasts since 2007, but regardless, this was no different. It is my FIRST live podcast where I’m not running things (other than tech), which was nice. JJ did a great job taking the reigns here while Charley Lancaster and Tyles did great for their first outing for a live show!
