Marc Maron isn’t just a comedian and podcaster. He is a philosopher, as well. If you need proof of this beyond some of the profound things he says during his comedic sets and podcasts, look no further than his book Attempting Normal. He airs out his life, not like dirty laundry but much more like freshly laundered shirts on a warm spring day.

The stories are all personal to Marc: some are issues he may still be dealing with, but they aren’t written as if he’s airing dirty laundry. In fact, he spends time making sure the other side of the story is there as well.

“The Nerding Instinct is about celebrating and unifying all facets of nerd and geek culture.” This is a bold statement for such a young podcast of only 14 episodes, as I write this.

I have listened to all of them and I have to say, I really like their concept. The podcast sounds very much like the conversations I used to hear when hanging out in my gaming store years ago.

SModCast is, as I said in the title, the Flagship of SModCo Internet Radio (S.I.R.) is a must listen. It’s not just for fans of Kevin Smith movies, it’s for all geeks. SModCast usually consists of Kevin Smith and Scott Mosier, although others join in from time to time.

At its core are two geeky friends talking about ridiculous news, hypothetical situations, movies and just about anything else, you’ve ever overheard at a comic store.
