À propos de ce contenu audio
 Kris Grainger & Andi Elliott present a weekly podcast that aims to free the geek! Join drill sergeants Kris & Andi as they set up camp and parade all things geek for your inspection. Each week they'll be raiding the barracks for all things gaming, music, hobbies, role-play, sci-fi, astronomy, science, conspiracy, unsolved mystery, toys, comics, cosplay, film, documentary, coffee, vinyl, home recording, computers, AI, retro-tech, radiation, cold-war, history, UFO...and so on. Join us under the canvas for a delve into the world of the nerd, and make suggestions on Discord for topics and questions that you'd like us to look into. From time to time we'll have guests in the mess tent who are experts in particular topics. So keep us on your podcast provider's radar and keep your comms open, because Nerdist Camp needs you to sign up right now!

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    In the beginning there was the word, and the word wasn't something you had to Google or ask AI, or that came up on your feed or in an app, but the written word. And the word sometimes fell on your doormat with a thud, and other times it was on paper thinner than the Argos catalogue. And the word was weekly…or sometimes monthly…or occasionally fortnightly. But it was always anticipated and welcome, and your sole source of news about your hobby.Today we're talking about the magazines that put us on the page.NewsMargaret Hamilton, whose software helped land Apollo 11 on the moon, dies at 90 - BBC NewsMargaret Hamilton, computing pioneer who led software development for the Apollo program, dies at 90 | MIT News | Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyAI/ML is becoming a performance factor in motorsport - Ars TechnicaSomething huge vanished from a NASA display pole months ago, and the agency's boss keeps dodging every question about it | TechRadarF.02 DecommissionThis fortnight we are recommendingAndi:Ted Lasso - Apple TVBrothers - Apple TV (Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson)Celebrity TraitorsEastpack “The One" EDC pouch.Pics & Ink - an online newsstand to buy independent magazinesKris:James Popsys (YouTube)Roman Fox (You Tube)Space Race in Colour (Channel 4)President CurtisAn Inspector Calls (BBC, 2015).Kris' photos of the ECAD Panto Rehearsal for Dick Whittington (Instagram)If you like what you hear, please subscribe to get notifications when each episode drops.If you'd like to suggest topics for the show, or even if you think you might be geeky enough to be a guest, then please contact the show at:nerdistcamp@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.
