The Tribe of Nerds Podcast

Tribe of Nerds finally hit a major milestone over night! We are now officially over 1000 Subscribers!

6 years ago I started recording a podcast during a global pandemic on Marvel and Star Wars with 4 of my college friends to escape from the world. The past couple years it slowly started to become what I’ve always dreamed of it being!

Survivor has always been a huge part of my life, helping me find a purpose in life and somewhere to belong. I never thought I’d get to accomplish so much because of it!

The best part about it has been meeting so many amazing friends that are a part of my team who inspire me every single day.

Thank you to my team, to the Vanquish community, to my family, and to anyone who has stuck with us for so many years watching us grow for supporting me on this entire journey!

The journey continues today!

⚡ Thor's EPIC arrival in Wakanda
💎 Thanos collecting the Infinity Stones
😱 Our original reactions to The Snap
👀 How Infinity War could influence Avengers: Doomsday
😂 And, most importantly...
DID JAKE, JOSH, AND RYAN SURVIVE THE SNAP?!
There's only one way to find out. 😂


👇 JOIN THE DISCUSSION!

💥 Is Avengers: Infinity War the greatest MCU movie?
👑 Can Doctor Doom possibly surpass Thanos?
⚡ What is the greatest entrance in Infinity War?
