I'm back, and I brought some friends! Today on Radd's Basement we have a buffet of nerd topics for you to sample. I sit down with Koop and Vallas to first discuss some comic book movies we recently watched. Next, we contrast a couple upcoming sci-fi TV shows (actually REAL sci-fi, like outer space stuff) on the horizon. Finally we talk about the cu…

Back in the saddle for episode 11 of Radd's Basement! I took a break over the past few weeks, because my video game repro shop was looking like a ghost town. So if you take a look over there, a lot of titles are back for sale and more are on the way over the next couple weeks! . I've enjoyed a number of television shows over the y…

Thank for tuning into another episode of Radd's Basement! This time I conclude my Doctor Who discussion with Koop and Vallas, digging more specifically into what's going on with Doctor Who right now. Unfortunately the news about Peter Capaldi leaving the show hadn't broke yet so we don't get a chance to discuss it, but I briefly touch on it in my i…

Radd here. For those who listen to every episode of my podcast, you may remember episode #7 where I talked to my buddy Koop about Star Wars. Then, in episode #8, I spoke to Mike Vallas about Nintendo Switch. In both episodes, we'd mentioned how we should all get together sometime and talk about Doctor Who. So I figured why not just stop talking abo…

Nintendo. They're my guys. Since I first played Super Mario Bros. at Martin Alessi's house in 1986, they've been my favorite and most played video game consoles, not to mention home to my favorite franchises. Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Punch-Out, plus a host of third party (mostly Konami) titles, like Castlevania, Contra, and Gradius have filled the la…

After a week off for Christmas, I'm back with the first Radd's Basement: Nerd Culture Podcast of 2017! I'm calling this a New Year's special, actually recorded ON New Years Eve, near midnight, with my dear friend Koop. I've talked about "My buddy Koop" many times on both this and my former podcast, so I'm honored and humbled to finally have a chanc…

Thanks for coming back for another episode of Radd's Basement! This week we take a break from the drudgery of listening to old men reminisce about their past as EGM editors.

This week I welcome to the show one of my dearest friends, really more than a friend, he's more like family. It's former Gaming FM founding member, Dilip Trivedi!

Please enjoy Episode 2 of my nerdy podcast! This time I had the pleasure of sitting down with my dear pal Mike Vallas.
