ID10T with Chris Hardwick (formerly The Nerdist Podcast) is a weekly interview show "about what it really means to be a nerd" hosted by Chris Hardwick, once usually accompanied by Jonah Ray and Matt Mira.[2] The audio podcasts are typically an hour in length and include conversations with notable comedians or entertainers, sometimes at their own home.[3] Occasional “hostful” episodes feature solely Hardwick, Ray and Mira. The show launched February 8, 2010. It served as the flagship podcast for Nerdist Industries, which was founded in 2012 after the success of The Nerdist Podcast. The show's theme song is "Hero of Time" by the analog synthesizer band Fartbarf. Prior to the February 2018 name change, the theme song was "Jetpack Blues, Sunset Hues" by Anamanaguchi. Hardwick's contract with Legendary Network ended at the end of 2017, and the podcast separated from Legendary-owned Nerdist Industries; in February 2018, the podcast was re-branded as ID10T with Chris Hardwick and moved to Cadence13. Hardwick changed the name after he moved it to become a part of his own ID10T merchandise and festival company. The podcast itself continues to operate under the same premise, with Hardwick, Mira, and Ray serving as hosts and Katie Levine serving as producer.[1] The phrase ID10T is technical error code for a computer malfunction caused by the human user.[4]
