]]> Episode 3 - Winning for Nerds with Cerys Bradley, Alice Fraser and Hannah Thompson Episode 3 - Winning for Nerds with Cerys Bradley, Alice Fraser and Hannah Thompson Thu, 08 Jul 2021 10:47:33 GMT 45:19 60e6d7c53962a80012fc712e true https://shows.acast.com/steve-cross/episodes/episode-3-winning-for-nerds 60e6d7c53962a80012fc712e 60cc979c3b25c200123d82f0 episode-3-winning-for-nerds full 1 3 This week we talk sport with three people whose nerd credentials can never be questioned. What's it like to grow up differentiating equations and drivings mauls, playing a goblin and playing in goal, shooting nets and researching neuroscience?


There's no clever music or sound mixing on this episode, so that the RAW EMOTION comes through more effectively.


Steve is a comedian and nerd, and the founder of Bright Club, Science Showoff and many more series where clever people get to show off how funny they are. He also has a fine microphone collection. You can hear Steve on other podcasts like Chaotic Adequate, Live Laugh Lovecraft and the first episode of anything his friends make, because they know he'll do a decent job.


Cerys can be found at https://www.cerysbradley.com/ and in a comedy slub near you.
