Goodbye for now! 35:08

for 48 weeks siden35:08

35:08

As y’all probably know, we’re calling this the “goodbye for now” episode of Nerdette because it’s our last episode while we’re employees at WBEZ. So, we thought it was the perfect time to call up Nerdette co-creator Tricia Bobeda and Nerdette Recaps co-host Peter Sagal to play our favorite game, Burden or Delight. Then, we hear from YOU about what Nerdette has meant to you for the past 11 years. We ultimately hope to find a new home for Nerdette! You can keep in touch with the team by joining our Facebook group , following Anna ( @annabaumanation ) and Greta ( @gretamjohnsen ) on Instagram, and subscribing to Greta’s newsletter . Thank you for 11 amazing years. We love you!…

A programming note – this is our second to last episode as a production at WBEZ . We are ultimately looking for a new home for the show. But until we figure that out, we’ll have one more episode on Tuesday .…

Nerdette Book Club discusses ‘Beautyland’ 44:19

for 1 year siden44:19

44:19

Our April Book Club pick is Marie-Helene Bertino’s second novel ' Beautyland .' It tells the story of Adina, a girl born in Philadelphia in 1977, just as the Voyager I spacecraft launches from Earth in search of extraterrestrial life. As a child, Adina learns she herself is an alien, and her mission is to send her observations about humanity to her supervisors via fax machine (it is the ‘80s, after all). With that conceit, Bertino paints a gorgeous tapestry of what it means to be human, filled with poetic descriptions of the utterly mundane. This book is full of love, longing, and curiosity. We are joined by two expert readers: Mira Jacob, the author of the novel ‘ The Sleepwalker’s Guide to Dancing’ and the graphic memoir ‘ Good Talk ,’ and Molly McGhee, whose novel ‘ Jonathan Abernathy You are Kind’ was our January Book Club selection! We discuss the book in detail, including spoilers! So if you have not read the book yet, go back and listen to our spoiler-free chat with author Marie-Helene Bertino in the feed first.…

Our March book club pick is Kaveh Akbar’s debut novel ‘ Martyr! ’ It’s about Cyrus, who was born in Iran and moved to the midwest as a child after his mom died. She was one of the victims of the real-life event where the United States Navy shot an Iranian passenger-plane out of the sky reportedly by accident. The book picks up when Cyrus is in his 20s in Indiana and he’s struggling in more ways than one. He finds himself thinking a lot about the idea of martyrdom and what makes life truly worth living. When he learns of an artist in New York whose work explores similar topics, he has to meet her. We are joined by two expert readers: New York Times Book Review editor MJ Franklin and host of The Stacks podcast Traci Thomas. We discuss the book in detail, including spoilers!
