Rolling With The Nerdy Birds

This week on Rolling with the NerdyBirds: Plague! Sniffles! Fever!A skeleton crew this week, we are looking at mad treatments, historical medicine, and old wives tales, in the hope of finding the cure for what ails you. Did you know an apple a day really can keep the doctor away? Did you know that carrots night actually help you see in the dark just a little bit better? Is it possible that these rhymes that sound like nonsense might really save your life? We certainly find some crazy treatments used by the Aztecs, the Greeks and ambitious mediaeval doctors. Bring out your dead...bring out your dead! Let us know your thoughts on Twitter and Facebook @RolltheDice2016Support the show.

NerdyBirds: it's Black Friday! On this famous day of shopping and sales, the NerdyBirds discuss strategy, stories and stress. Are you a decisive shopper? Or do you spend hours hunting down the best bargains? Find out who is a rage-shopper and who insists on seeking opinions, even that of strangers. Will you be shopping on Black Friday? Let us know your best bargains on Facebook or Twitter @RtDNerdsSupport the show.

The world is divided, unrest and intolerance more common than before, so the NerdyBirds are here to discuss....good manners! We talk about social situations and work issues, confess to some deeply concerning stalkerish tendencies, and just how often we interrupt each other (hint: a lot). We elect ourselves to be in charge of the world (hail the Council of Three) and lay out our political strategy regarding such hard hitting issues as proper use of cutlery, offensive t-shirts, and whether free speech is in fact free. Join us!Vote for us! (Don't.) And contribute your own policy suggestions to our strategy team.

This week, books and the ongoing evolution of stories translated into films.

This week, music! The best artists often overlooked, those albums that are rightly overlooked, bands popping up in unexpected places, and those songs you just can't get out of your head. Join the NerdyBirds for musical chatter, recommendations and opinions as to whether once you pop, you just can't rock....Talk to us on Twitter @RtDNerds with #RWTNB and check out our blog for more content at Roll the DiceSupport the show.

This week, according to some quizzes, we are sexy lobsters who will die horribly by an animal attack in a Disney movie, while clutching our badly-organised handbags. Or at least some of us are. We turn to the best of Internet quizzes to determine our personality traits, our flaws, hopes and porn names. And learn which of us can get a perfect score on Roll the Dice's hardest Harry Potter quiz ever.... (hint: nobody, ever)! Talk to us on Twitter @RtDNerds with #RWTNB and check out our blog for more content at Roll the DiceSupport the show.

This week we get political.
