This YouTube channel is a Felicia Day creation which looks to take various aspects of nerd-dom and present it in a weekly episodic format, featuring 1-2 different shows every day.
Here’s an all encompassing trailer, showing off each show that will be on the channel.
The shows will start at various times throughout the year, with the official channel launch taking place on April 2nd. Here’s how the channel line-up looks to be shaking out, with descriptions for each show and a trailer for each …
