We had a Nerd Dinner last time I was up visiting campus. We had nerds of various shapes and sizes, but three nerds stood out. They were tweens, and they're the proprietors of their own media empire, OmniTechNews.
They post product reviews, host a podcast and have their own YouTube Channel. They are truly the nerds of tomorrow, today. They've even got their own T-Shirt and Swag Shop.
I recorded an interview with them and I present to you, with Mom and Dad's permision, the gentlemen of OmniTechNews.
Go check them out and subscribe! I think they'd especially appreciate it if you subscribed to them on YouTube.

I'd be interested to hear an inteview with the parents and/or adults behind these kids and OmniTechNews. It may be interesting to hear what they do to encourage them.

If you live in western Washington then you will be able to hear from our parents on KPLU/KUOW next week. We will post the interview on our website once it has aired.
