Bohemian Geek Studies

The BGS Crew

Welcome to Bohemian Geek Studies, the place where ravenous readers and culture consumers gather together to enjoy listening to two nerdy knights explore popular literature in an absurd level of detail and dorkiness! Hosts Sara and Will cover spoilers and fan theories while drawing connections to some of their favorite books, shows, and movies. While adult themes and a PG-13 joke or two may fly (just like in the covered books), this podcast is designed to be enjoyed by yourself or with friends and family for shared laughter and discussion.
