Nerds on the Rocks One Year Later

[BreakABone]

Well, I didn't record the first episode so not my fault, but the podcast turned one year... recently... 4/20/11 to be exact, but like I said not my decision.

Anyhow, I know most of you.. if not all of you don't actually listen, but what can you do, but its actually been going great. After a rather rough start, we settled down with a core cast of 5 regular hosts, who trade in and out when needed, and we've been weekly for about 8 months, which I'm actually most impressed by. We even did a Christmas special though that was recorded like 3 weeks in advance.

We have a fairly small, but growing audience, I think roughly around like 50 or so listeners, hey its something.

So yeah, thumbs up on that.

Site is also doing well now that we have staff writers for reviews and news and the like.

We’re looking to expand our line of iTunes (http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/id370953034)review so we’re offering a copy of Metroid and Super Metroid on the Wii’s Virtual Console for a review provided in the next week. Winner picked randomly (if we get multiple submissions!)

There's also a purely video game centric podcast called Dual Wielding (http://nerdsontherocks.com/category/podcasts/dw/) with 43 eps and a new purely comicbook centric podcast called The Comic Anvil (http://nerdsontherocks.com/category/podcasts/the-comic-anvil/).

Every week there are also numerous comic book reviews. Earl is putting together an army to review every single one of the new 52 books from DC at the moment.

And other goodies...mostly Earl upsetting fanboys in some fashion or other...
