all eight episodes ad-free on Wondering Plus. Hello guys, welcome to the Nerdist Podcast number 70.

Can you hear the screaming outside? I am a Chicago in the St. Patrick's Day. I wonder if there's any

other people here. I just got in from Austin doing shows at Zaini's. Got a cold at South by Southwest

Interactive or the Nerd Flu. Similar to the one you get at CES when you're rubbing up against

nerds in big clusters for days on end. But South by was such a blast and we had a great time and I

saw so many great comics there and got to do some wonderful shows and posted the interactive

awards and had a blast. So if you came to that, thank you so much. A few shows to tell you about

Nerdist at Meltdown is launching April 2nd. That is a Saturday our first show is Pop in politics

with Jimmy Dore, a phenomenal show. If you haven't seen it before, you should definitely come see

that. Also April 4th is our Big Black Dynamite Night. We're going to screen Black Dynamite. We're

going to do a panel with the director and actress from Black Dynamite. We have a bunch more surprises.

The Black Dynamite Orchestra is going to be there to play music. Apparently there's going to be food

trucks there and there's going to be a big signing for the new Black Dynamite comic book Slave Island.

So all month long in April is our launch month. We've got a ton of great shows. You can find the

Meltdown calendar at Meltcomics.com. I'll also throw a link on Nerdist.com. In case you forget
