Nerd Culture: is a weekly podcast hosted by Felix Mosse, Penguin-published fantasy author and professional script editor, and Sam O’Hanlon, writer & actor. Together they dig into the worlds, characters, and mechanics that make fantasy, literature, mythology, and narrative gaming worth paying attention to. Each episode moves between close analysis and light-hearted argument, between the serious and the absurd, between the question of how great stories are built and the equally important question of which fictional character you’d least want to be seated next to at dinner.
Welcome back! Today Felix & Sam are joined by voice actor Alex Jordan (Dragon Age, The Alters, Final Fantasy, and many more) to create the perfect draft of the critically acclaimed masterpiece, Baldur's Gate 3. Eight categories, three players, who will leave with the best roster? We also discuss Pokémon, the upcoming game 'Emberville' that Alex is voice director on, and some incredibly nerdy past times.

Magic, Maps, and Fantasy Startups
This week Felix & Sam talk about Dawn of War, No Man's Sky, whether fantasy maps are a crutch or half the fun, and Magic: The Gathering, which they reckon is less a card game than a short story two people write while trying to destroy each other. Then they draft a D&D party as a startup and work out whose company folds in eighteen months.
