Welcome to a brand new podcast, Nerdist Camp. Each week we'll set up our tent, firmly in the camp of all things geek, in the hope of sharing our enthusiasms, obsessions and knowledge. We also hope to debate controversial takes on topics, ask questions about subjects we're less familiar with, and invite expert guests to fill us in on areas we've had the curiosity, but not the time, to pursue. Following on from that, we hope to get out and about and do some special episodes, visiting conventions, interesting spaces, and meeting people we wouldn't normally have the chance to drag into the studio; with drag being the operative word here as you know, many nerds are highly allergic to sunlight.

In this first episode, we meet our hosts and discuss Classic Sci-fi, what defines the genre for us and what were our first encounters and experiences of the genre? We discuss our top films, books and audio books in the genre. We look at those hobbies that we started but never finished, despite major outlay for all the right gear, and we ask forgiveness for our sins of geek.

Here's some link to things we discussed in the episode:
