Nerdy Show

Nerdy Show is the first program in what would become The Nerdy Show Network and remains a cornerstone of the network's programming. The show covers the full scope of nerd media and discussions, "from comics and video games, to science and technology - if it's geeky, we've got it covered." Along with nerd music these topics have served as four primary focuses throughout Nerdy Show's on-going run since 2009.

The current incarnation of Nerdy Show features one or two primary topics an episode as well as reoccurring programs as part of "Nerdy Show" such as Nerdy Show Book Club, State of the Empire, and Nerdy Show Comic Show. New episodes of Nerdy Show are published Mondays.

"Nerdy Show" may also refer to the group of hosts associated with the network's core programming both the show, Nerdy Show, and various other programs such as Dungeons & Doritos, The Hex Grid, and Pokéballs of Steelix. Large, single-topic "blockbuster" episodes often featuring high-profile interviews are separately designated as Nerdy Show Prime.
