Summary
Winter is still here! (At least in the nation’s midsection.) And that means you’re looking for stuff to do when you’re stuck inside.
And who better to recommend some good nerdy activities than Nerdette co-creator Tricia Bobeda?!?
She did just that on WBEZ’s Morning Shift last month and we’re bringing it to you now because we love you.
So please enjoy this binge-watchers guide to navigating the winter cold, featuring excellent TV, movie and book recommendations.
Bonus: This interview was conducted by Morning Shift host (and former all-star Nerdette guest host) Jenn White. Need more Jenn White in your life? Subscribe to her daily local news podcast, Morning Shift Podcast. (And check out Making Oprah and Making Obama if you haven’t already.)
Extra Bonus: Use this as a reminder to re-subscribe to Nerdette Recaps Game of Thrones with Peter Sagal which is returning to your ears in two short months.

| 0:00.0 | I'm Natalie Moore. I fell in love with soap operas when I was just five years old, and I still |
| 0:06.1 | watch them. Their television's longest scripted series and have zero reruns. Now let me tell you, |
| 0:12.7 | soap operas aren't just some silly art form. They are significant. In this season of making, |
| 0:18.0 | Stories Without End from WBEZ Chicago. |
| 0:25.7 | Join me as I share how the genre began, their social impact, and why these stories endure. |
| 0:28.3 | Listen wherever you get your podcast. |
| 0:35.3 | From WBEZ Chicago, this is Nerdette. |
| 0:36.1 | I'm Greta Johnson. |
| 0:37.2 | And I'm Trisha Bobita. |
| 0:43.3 | Trisha, you're here in a room with me. This is so exciting. Oh, hi. To be clear, you and I do hang out beyond Nerdette land, but this is the first time that we both sat in front of microphones |
| 0:46.9 | together in quite some time. Quite some time. So this is like an extra magical bonus episode. |
| 0:52.6 | We're putting in the podcast feed this week, |
| 0:58.9 | partly because you recently did a super cool segment on the morning shift, which is WB.EZ's daily talk show. Yeah, there was a polar vortex. It was negative 722 degrees. Schools were canceled. |
| 1:05.0 | The city was basically at a standstill. Everyone was in a blanket for it. Now, that's degrees Kelvin, correct? |

| 1:11.4 | coldest I've ever been. It was extremely cool. You were one of the only people who actually made it |
| 1:16.4 | to Navy Pier. Yes, because as people may recall, part of the reason you don't hear me every week is because |
| 1:21.9 | I'm kind of a part of all the news all the time here. You're pretty busy all the here. And in fact, it's never too cold for news. But everybody else was |
| 1:28.0 | like, I'm not coming to Navy P. Oh, yeah, no, I didn't come in. So that's how I got invited on |
| 1:33.1 | the morning shift is because I was a warm body who was willing to be in studio. And you're talking to |
| 1:39.9 | Jen about a whole bunch of stuff to watch and read. Yes. We're going to listen to this segment and then we're going to chat about it a little bit afterwards. |
| 1:46.4 | But is there anything you want to warn the people about before we start this segment? |
