Some of what’s coming up this week on the Nerdist Podcast Network:

Chuck Lorre and Mayim Bialik will be representing The Big Bang Theory on a new Nerdist Podcast Tuesday, and you’ll get insight on what it takes to create hit TV shows (Chuck would have some idea about that….), both guests’ incredible journeys, spirituality, and… okay, there’s also a lot of focus on one particular bit of trivia in which the guys are particularly focused, Chuck’s having written the Teenage Mutant Minja Turtles theme song. Admit it, you want to hear all about that, too. You will, this week.

The timing is pretty interesting, considering what happened Saturday night, but The Jonah Keri Podcast will have Ariel Helwani, ace MMA reporter and Jonah’s fellow Montrealer, who’s so good at what he does that, apparently, the UFC can’t stand it. And on Friday, Deadspin’s Tim Marchman will join Jonah to talk about the UFC banning Ariel, sports journalism, media ethics, and more.

Even more? Sure: Director Jon Chu (whose latest is Now You See It 2) will be trading factual information on Today We Learned. Greg and Lozo will be breaking down the Sharks-Penguins and Lord knows what else on Puck Soup, Jackie and Laurie will talk about feet and heckling (really) on The Jackie and Laurie Show, and we’ll even get a special bonus episode of one of our favorites from the recent past, which you’ll hear Monday. Plus lots, lots more.

As always, you’ll find it all on the Nerdist Podcast Network homepage and Facebook page, and if you subscribe to your favorites, you won’t miss a single thing. You don’t want to miss a single thing, do you? No. No, you don’t.
