Authors put their favorite characters through the ringer, but in this episode, we decide to flip the script. Jen Finelli, author of the amazing novel "Becoming Hero" joins Matt, Colleen, Rachel, and Josh to discuss which characters would most want to kill their authors. Find out which resident of Westeros gains vengeance on George R.R. Martin, why living the life of a city elf isn't a great idea, and which character makes Dickens pay off his debts.
Big Nerdy Recommendation: Babylon 5

This week, BNQ welcomes Petrea Burchard, the English voice of Ryoko on Tenchi Muyo and acclaimed author, to Big Nerdy Headquarters. Petrea talks about what it's like to record narration for a show originally written in another language, her love of historical fiction and cozy mysteries, and how she realized that her part in anime history was much bigger than she ever imagined. We are incredibly honored that Petrea visited BNQ and we hope you enjoy our talk.
Check out Petrea's books:
Act As If: Stumbling Through Hollywood With Headshot in Hand
Also, check out Petrea's narration of the Westwick Witches series by Colleen Cross!

Welcome to the first edition of Big Nerdy Quickies! In these shorter episodes, we bring you bonus content independent of a full-fledged Big Nerdy Question. To start this tradition off right, we welcome comedian extraordinaire Chris Cope to Big Nerdy HQ for his opinions on comedy, history, and mayonnaise. (Trust us, it'll make more sense once you listen.) PLEASE NOTE that the Big Nerdy Quickie series will be uncensored, so this episode is not child-friendly.
Check out Chris's site for more great content!

Does Groundskeeper Willie make you hot under the kilt? Is the stench of beer and disappointment at Moe's an aphrodisiac? Are you really into women with one-eye who captain starships? If so, this is the episode for you. JP leads Josh, Erin, Ed, and Matt on a journey through the dating world in Springfield and New New York. The dialogue in this episode is for the adults, so kiddos may want to skip this entry. For everyone else, the only thing more fun than listeneing to this hour is going on a bender with Bender.

LANGUAGE WARNING! This is JP here. After we got done recording the two-part season 3 premiere, a few of us stayed after and caught up with one another. One thing led to another, and eventually Ed and Colleen start talking about the latest Star Wars film. Well, it turns out they have very strong, opposing, and entertaining opinions about the film, and luckily I was within reach of the record button not too long after Colleen really gets going. I hope you enjoy this candid and raw discussion.
This episode is UNCENSORED! Please be advised that there are no bleeps, only a few accidental computer sounds along the way. The discussion between Ed and Colleen is completely unedited as well.
This is a behind the scenes look at who we really are, and you should find that it's not too different from who we are on the show. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed recording it.

Find out which hapless villain JP wants to drink with at the bar, why life as a commoner in Westeros must suck, and if reality itself is a bad fictional universe.
