Nature vs. Nerdture

The Last Podcast Network
About this episode

Are we born nerds or are we raised to be them? What impact does our environment have on who we are and what we love and just how important are the people around us? Our hosts open up about how they were raised and whether or not they think they were meant to still love Mario and She Hulk in their 40s. This one's got Jake deep diving into genetics, Holden's attempts at getting his dad to play Balatro, and Mike talking about how the games of the Sega Genesis allow him and his brother to honor their dead dad. Then we read some lovely letters from you the listeners about your upbringings and journeys. This one gets emotional but in the best way possible.
