Okay, so there's this local internet radio station called Pdx.fm. And on that internet radio station, they have a show on Thursdays @ 3pm called "The Nerd Report". For those of you who have never listened to the Nerd Report, I'll lay it down for you like so. This show is meant to do two things: Entertain you, and educate you. Not to mock you and make fun of your passion. And people come on the show and talk about their geeky passions; like video games, witch craft, and zombies, just to name a few. But there was a certain geeky passion that had yet to be covered on the show, and that passion is the same passion that nearly all of us here share: cosplay. So I contacted one of the hosts (Emily Gibson) and asked (just to be sure) if they had ever had cosplayers on the show before. She said no, and asked me if I knew any. I told her I'm a cosplayer, and that I knew other cosplayers that I could bring with me. (Although she told me to keep it to one friend.)
So on Thursday February the 18th at 3pm, NightLotus and myself will be guests on The Nerd Report, edumicating the masses about cosplay, and things of this nature.
You'll be able to listen live and interact with the hosts @ www.pdx.fm
(You can also listen live on the go if you have an iPhone ;) )
Or download the podcast off of iTunes.
Or if that doesn't work for you, you can listen to the podcast on the Nerd Report's website http://nerdreportradio.com/

I will try to do that. I don't have classes at the time so I should be able to :D

Thanks Nikki. I have a feeling that Meg and I will probably have a blast on the show, so it should be pretty entertaining to listen to.
And if I'm not mistaken, I think you can call in to the show as well (fyi).
-
I get home around that time, so I will have to check into this ^^
Sounds very cool!
-
For those of you who have never listened to the show before, it typically only lasts 30 minutes. So if you want to listen live, just know that we will probably be done around 3:30pm.
-
Fyi, this entire week they are going to be talking to people about Star Trek. That means new episodes every day, and thus far it's been pretty good.
-
Well I'll miss it because of work, but I hope you guys have fun being local celebs.
-
Even if you miss listening to us live, there's still the podcast that you can listen to later. :)
-
i knew they existed, but a nerdy radio station?! well technically, it's internet radio. so i assume listening to it on my zune won't work. XD but this is still intriguing. is it possible to listen to the show a few hours after it was recorded?
-
so which of you will be which?

Like I said in the first post, you can listen to the podcast on the nerd report website, and you can download it off of iTunes and listen to it on the go after the podcast is up.
so which of you will be which?
...Wha? Uh... I will be myself, and NightLotus will be herself.

no i can't all of my electronics suck, but again, have fun.
-
Today is the big day! :D
-
I will have to check out the non-live version myself...I am at work until about 3:30 or 4:00ish.
-
Yeah I will have to listen to the non live version. My stupid group is incompetent and we are waiting till the last minute to get something done x.x
-
I lies, I am here in time. I will be listening and maybe even joining XD
-
:( I am still at the office for a bit longer >.<
-
Well, that went pretty well. Lotus and I were pretty nervous at first, but we loosened up. I just hope we were representing everyone else okay, and that I wasn't tripping over my own words too much. XD
BUT! I'll let the rest of you be the judge, but I got the distinct feeling that they wanted to cover Kumoricon this year. :D
-
Listening now~
-
Tell us how it went; I'm too nervous to listen to it.
-
It's kind of annoying to listen to because the chicks hosting it or whatever sound rather patronizing towards nerdom. I think it's dumb when people aren't into something and they try and talk down to people about it P:
You and Meg sound really good though~ I like the Joann's reference!
But yeah, the two host ladies = bawww.
-
I never really got a sense that they were being patronizing. Dorky, yes; they have a tendency of being a bit dorky. They're trying to keep it both interesting and a little funny (they want people to keep listening to the show), but since they don't always fully understand the subject being discussed (which is why they have people come on the show and help them understand), their attempts at being funny can fail at times.
But actually being there and talking with them in person, on and off mic, they were pretty cool with me and Lotus.
-
If something's called the "Nerd Report" I expect it to be hosted by nerds. I mean weally.
-
EPIC.
I'm very happy. <3
-
was at work?

Sabrina is actually a drama nerd. :P
-
I thought it went ok :3
I sound stupid though ;;>_>
-
No, you sounded nervous, but that only lasted for so long.
I on the other hand, could have been far more "smooth."
-
yay i listioned to it ^^ ....is it bad if the moment i heard "kumoricon" i went "WOOHOO! KUMORI!!!" and almost woke up the whole house?

Of course not! You're just showing your pride and support for Kumoricon... at the expense of anyone sleeping in your house at that time.
-
Hehe(:
Kumoricon is worth waking up your entire family for. ;D
-
The podcast still hasn't come in so...
