Episode 56 - Meet the New APON Writers!

March 14, 2016

On this episode we welcome our new writer/contributors for APlayOnNerds.com, Ben Tuchenhagen, Garrett Yoshitomi, Jerry Herrera and Kaylynn Kasandra! Unfortunately, Kaylynn was unable to record with us at the last minute, but look out for her on the web site doing weekly reviews of Supernatural, and hopefully on a future episode of the podcast!

We talk to each of the new writers about their geeky influences, they're favorite fandoms, and what they are currently writing about on the site. It gets ridiculous as always, so you can see just how much of a good fit these fine folks are for the A Play On Nerds family.

We also cover some Nerdy News involving dolphins that are freakishly smart, and in Trailer Reviews we cover the new Ghostbusters reboot and the Patrick Stewart/Anton Yelchin thriller, Green Room.
