Brenda Snell and Austin Taylor from the MaxFun podcast “Secret Histories of Nerd Mysteries”  join producer Julian Burrell for an unusual conversation: Pokemon. Already a worldwide phenomenon, franchise recently had a promotional partnership with CMLL for a full Pokemon themed wrestling show.

The panel discusses what made the pairing of wrestling and pokemon work and why the online discourse that surrounds the two entities is so similar.
