Episode 18: Dumbass Dude Misfits

 

Happy read-a-long day, fellow nerds! For episode 18 of the Our Nerdiest Thing podcast, we read chapters 37-38 of “From Blood & Ash” by @jennifer_l_armentrout . We only have one read-a-long episode in this season!

In this episode we discuss how to de-escalate a hostage situation, guilt by association and the infamous case of Ferdinand Demara, who really loved to use false identities, much like our Hawke Flynn in this book.

Drink up "Our Nerdiest Cocktail" named "Take No Shit, Leave No Prisoners". It can be found here!
