COL706: Nerd Culture: Then vs Now

In this episode of Cubs Out Loud, the guys get down and nerdy. Remember the 80s film franchise ‘Revenge of the Nerds’? Back then, ‘nerd’ was used as a bullying term. Fast forward four decades later and nerd culture has become a thing. Listen in as the cubs discuss nerdom as a whole entertainment industry. But, is the current interest in all things nerdy an actual shift in overall perspective and acceptance, or have things moved into an inevitable cash grab as the nerds of the 80s are now adults with disposable income?

Fast forward to four decades later and nerd culture has become a thing, a whole entertainment industry if you will. But is the current interest in all things nerdy an actual shift in overall perspective and acceptance? Or have things moved into an inevitable cash grab as the nerds of the 80s are now adults with disposable income?

LTA… Aging

While we may refer to ourselves as cubs, it’s been a bit o’time since COL got started. And with that passage of time, things have also changed for us physically and beyond. As Gary leads the pack in reaching a new milestone birthday later this year, what are some of the new experiences we’ve had in recent years? Are there any lessons of wisdom that others could learn from? What might younger members of the community have in store for their future?
