Chris Hardwick
Chris Hardwick is a big ol’ nerd. Yet somehow instead of getting his glasses broken and playing D&D silently in his basement, he’s used his nerditude to create a hyper successful podcast, a very popular blog, and a highly anticipated upcoming book. He also hosts G4’s Web Soup, frequently contributes to Wired magazine, and performs with Mike Phirman in the musical comedy duo Hard ‘n Phirm. What a geek!

It seems like every time you click refresh on the Nerdist website there is new cool stuff happening. What started as a blog and transitioned into a podcast is now a television pilot, a live performance space at Meltown Comics, a podcasting network, and even a book! Chris Hardwick is here to try to discuss all of that as well as his partnership with Geek Chic and the economic difficulties of doing a podcast live. We even get Chris’ opinion on our new Earwolf Live App and a stellar suggestion for a new, simpler term to replace “download.” Listen to the episode and, as always, let us know what you think over on the forums!
