Welcome to the Online Warriors Podcast!
Founded in 2017, the Online Warriors Podcast was created as a way for its three founders to keep in touch while discussing all of their nerdy hobbies.
The passion project quickly developed into a full-blown show. Every week, we discuss the latest nerd news, go hands on with our latest adventures, and play a high-stakes quiz show. We even feature occasional interviews from industry guests!
The Online Warriors community is a welcoming and positive group where we can all embrace our nerdy side. We're glad you're here and hope we've gained your ear. Welcome to the round table!

About your Hosts
The hosts of the Online Warriors Podcast are actually friends in real life! (We know, right?) They've been friends for over a decade, and that carries forward in their conversational chemistry. But who are these people?
Techtic: A nerdy engineer with fungal tendencies. Man, this guy can really grow on you. Also really into dad jokes - but not a dad.
Illeagle86: A PhD student who still doesn't know what his research is about. But he likes talking about books, movies, games and stuff.
Nerdbomber: A huge nerd who obviously watched too much Full House as a kid. May still be a giant kid. Jury is still out.
