From WBE Easy Chicago, this is Nerdad, I'm Greta Johnson, we did it, we made it to another

weekend.

Coming up, an art critic shines light on the women who painted self-portraits against

all odds over the course of Western art history.

They weren't allowed to paint naked models, they weren't allowed to go to art school.

So, you know, if they had a mirror and a palette, they could, you know, use themselves as

a subject.

Plus, author and TV writer Zoe Widow tells us about her new book The Spectacular and

a whole lot more.

I just sort of only came up because a girl kissed me once and I was like, oh, that's

interesting.

You know, like, I never would have come up with my own.

But first, it's our panel on the week that was with us this week, we have Omar Holman

and William Evans.

They're the minds behind Black Nerd problems, a delightfully nerdy pop culture website.

There's a podcast too and they just wrote a collection of essays called Black Nerd

Problems.

Omar, William, welcome.

Hello.

Thanks for having us.

Thanks for coming on.

So, this week, Captain Kirk finally went to literal space at age 90.
