Hosted by John "hex" Carter, The Hex Grid was a podcast showcasing nerd music as well as interviews with members of the nerd music community. The show centered around Hex digging deep into his personal archives to uncover songs so rare that he may be the only one left with a copy. It was originally distributed as a stand-alone podcast, part of Nerdy Show's in-house produced content but separate from Nerdy Show itself and was released as the part of "Tunesday" music-focused programming, alternating with The Real Congregation every Tuesday.

History[]

The Hex Grid was created to better showcase nerd music on Nerdy Show, after a slight format shift early 2012 in which Nerdy Show switched to single-song breaks over the double song blocks they'd been using since their time on WPRK. The show ran intermittently, often going on lengthy hiatuses when Hex had to focus attention on running Nerdapalooza. In early 2014 it was announced that Hex Grid was over and that The Nerd Groove hosted by Dr. Vern of Sci-Fried and Nerdy.FM would take over as The Nerdy Show Network's monthly nerd music show.
