Comedy genius and true-born nerd Chris Hardwick (@nerdist) invited me to join him as a guest on his very popular and very funny podcast. Here it is! Chris and his friendly LOL-sidekicks and I talked about what would happen if NPR and E! Television got married; the origin of Boing Boing; and the mainstreaming of geek culture.

And here's his touring schedule. His live shows are incredible.

  • Wickedashtray

    Xeni doesn’t look like Xeni in that pic.

    • millrick

      Xeni looks suspiciously like Chris in that photo…
      …i can tell by the pixels

    • Jack

      All of these promotional head-shots are clearly doctored.

  • thequickbrownfox

    Stop being so hot, Xeni, I’m trying to read.

  • Teller

    At great risk I observe she takes no unsexy pictures.

    • Tone

      Dude calm down. Notice that all of Xeni’s pictures taken ABOVE THE WAIST. Take it as a warning. Its obvious that she’s a Centaur.

  • Fire-Eyes

    As a recent fan of the Nerdist and a bit longer term fan of Xeni, I find this to be ENORMOUSLY EXCITING. Xeni, you’re the perfect guest. I’m going to listen now.

    80% of these comments are about Xeni’s appearance. BoingBoingers, you disappoint.

  • Laroquod

    I was considering checking out this Nerdist podcast but then somebody on here mentioned that he was in a frat — pass.

  • Antinous / Moderator

    I keep thinking that’s a stereograph and I’ll see a secret message if I cross my eyes.

  • trieste

    The above looks like some form of Chris’s before/after shot. A shave, a wig, foundation, make-up…

  • Grognard

    Hardwick and I were in the same frat back in the day at UCAL. It’s been interesting watching his career.
