Episode 106 : Nerds Matter Too

Nerds? Nerds you say, on the Vintage Rebellion Podcast? Surely some mistake! But yes listeners, this month we open our doors to the lovely David Jackson from Nerd Matters, as our main interview guest. Pete chats about buttons, badges, pins and patches from the galaxy far, far away.

The lads are in maudlin mood as they discuss what might happen to their collections when they’re gone, and then shed a tear for the very last Action Figure Face-Off - who will claim the final victory?

Andy Norton takes us back to school with a GCSE inspired quiz, and we hear about some great acquisitions - and re-acquisitions.

It’s a busy Rebel Briefings as the team asks about Ahsoka, calls out a colourful Facebook group, considers conventions at Echo (past) and Farthest From (future), finds about about Faucourt’s French figures folio, and covers TVR competitions. There’s a brand new prize on offer, a fantastic light-up figure stand from Mark Sinclair aka Oldie Yoda - listen in for a chance to win.

Licensee this month is Stuart Hall - no, not that one - as we take a canter through notebooks, exercise books, sketch books, portfolios and the like. All this and more, with lots of craic and banter along the way, look out for the podcast in all the usual places.
