The Nerd Stash sponsors TNS Network, which is a collection of podcasts creating content across video games, movies, television, comics, and more. Power Up And Game is a weekly video game news podcast covering some of the most trending stories in the gaming industry. With Nerds Talk Movies, another weekly podcast, our “experts” review a new movie or TV series every week via our Retrospectives and Spoiler Talks. We also have semi-regular content such as Longbox Hunters, where two longtime friends and lifelong nerds talk about all things comics. Each episode (or issue) will cover what they’ve been reading recently before moving on to whatever that edition’s topic may be, with plenty of room for discussion, discourse, and even the occasional special guest to keep things fresh. From story arc analysis to character history deep dives and debates over widely contested comic book plot points and hot topics, Tristan and Drew cover everything in between all while bringing their trademark wit and enthusiasm that listeners of Nerds Talk Movies know and love. Finally, there is Clash At The Stash. This is a competition series featuring those of us at TNS Network and other fantastic content creators where we all debate over various nerd culture topics. Some episodes contain very straightforward topics and others may require contestants to be a bit more creative.

Hey guys,
Due to some technical problems, there won't be a new episode of Power Up And Game uploaded today. Instead, we plan to do one big show on Friday to make up for it.
We hope you'll join us as we get into a ton of news including People Can Fly joining Gears of War: E-Day as a co-developer, Phil Spencer's recent comments about Xbox hardware, at least one-third of AAA games not abandoning the live service strategy, and a whole lot more.
In the meantime, check out our latest episode (attached to this post) where we gushed about the Xbox Developer Direct.
We've had a noticeable uptick in listeners and downloads since the beginning of the year. We're tremendously grateful for that. Thanks to anyone for listening and we'll be back on Friday night!
