Nerdy Romantics Podcast stands out with its unique blend of romance and nerd pop culture topics. While some competitors focus solely on either romance or nerdy topics like sci-fi and fantasy, NRP seamlessly combines the two, creating a niche for listeners who are fans of all these genres. Host Y. M. Nelson brings her own perspective as an author to the discussions, adding depth and authenticity to the content.

We have a community space for listeners to engage with each other and discuss episode topics which goes beyond just listening to a podcast episode. We also have a newsletter which includes shownotes, nerdy and romantic book recommendations, and first looks at Y. M. Nelson's content.

So if you like book boyfriends, HEAs, Star Trek, Marvel and DC Comics and fantasy books, then this podcast is for you!
