Showing the World its Blerds and -ish

NNPA NEWSWIRE — “Nerd culture, Blerd culture goes coast to coast,” said Keith Cooper, who, along with his co-conspirator in Blerd-osity, Mark Wallace, takes on the podcast airwaves to broadcast their show, Blerd-ish!. “We as Black people consume pop culture, anime, comics, movies differently than our fellow patrons who might like the same things. It’s a microcosm of anything else: it affects us differently. We wanted to highlight a lot of independent—and I stress independent—creators who are not a part of the Big Two… so we created a platform to discuss it.” Cooper is a finance guy turned librarian who loves this creative space and “talking about nerdy things.”
