W�e�e��y�� ge�y��� ne�� ����� Nerdy Basement gets our news directly from the source . Ninety percent of it comes directly from the studios we have built connections with via press releases and interviews . The other 10� comes from Hollywood trades like �ariet� , �ead�ine , ��e �rap , or ��e �o���wood �eporter .
W�a�i�y��� �a���i�e��ing �� ���e�� Reporting news is definitely my favorite thing to do and cover on The Nerdy Basement , no matter the genre or medium . Being able to provide information to people is something Ien�oyed doing for about seven years before Iofficially founded The Nerdy Basement . It ’ s the main reason The Nerdy Basement was created . Iwanted tohave a dedicated space toprovide that information rather than having it on my personal social media pages . Idoen�oy reviewing things and conducting interviews , but reporting is my go-to .
�e�� �e a���� The Nerdy Basement Podcast an� i�� ��in���� ��e �erd� �a�ement �odca�t is where we break down all the news we reported on our social media pages and website . This is away for us to �ust kick back for afew hours and theorize or react to the news we were reporting throughout the week . We would then cap that episode off with areview of arecent T� show or film we had �ust seen .
