After a brilliant year of discussing a diverse range of sources to nerd out to, this episode, we celebrate Nerd 'Em Say's birthday! There will be cake (or rather the closest thing we could find to cake), there will be plenty of segues, many of which are about food and most importantly, there will be content to nerd out on.  Walk down memory lane with us as we talk about nerd content of the past with some Disney classics, and reflect on to how much we've changed and evolved over the last one year.  To all our listeners, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!  Follow us at instagram.com/nerdemsaypodcast  twitter.com/nerdemsaypod Email us at nerdemsay@gmail.com
