Nerdy Romantics Podcast

Nerdy Romantics Podcast blends romance and nerd pop culture with our book, TV, and movie recs and reviews. While some focus solely on either romance or nerdy topics like sci-fi and superheroes, we combine the two, creating a niche for listeners who are fans of all these genres. Host Y. M. Nelson brings her own perspective as a romance author and superhero and Star Trek fan to the discussions.
