We have so much planned for you at the Nerdist Podcast Network, but we have to talk about it one week at a time. (There are some huge surprises coming. My lips are sealed.) But this week’s good enough on its own, with upcoming shows including (subject, of course, to schedule changes):

Reggie Watts will make a return visit to the Nerdist Podcast to chat about being James Corden’s bandleader, singing with BB-8, edibles and weed soda, improvising, and science.

Did we say Tom Papa was going to be on You Made It Weird with Pete Holmes last week? Yeah, well, that got moved to this coming week. Patience is a virtue. UPDATE: You will need more patience — Tom will be on, but not this week. Moved again. Sorry, Tom. It’s because we have a huge, massive, A-list surprise for you. Seriously, it’s a huge one, someone you wouldn’t expect, and… well, Wednesday, you’ll know.

The Writers Panel will continue to bring you some of Hollywood’s top TV writing and producing talent, and this week’s no different, with Ali Adler (Supergirl) and the folks behind Empire scheduled to panel up.

We also know that Jonah’s old Grantland compatriot Jonathan Abrams will be on The Jonah Keri Podcast to talk about his brand new book Boys Among Men: How the Prep-to-Pro Generation Redefined the NBA and Sparked a Basketball Revolution. which looks at the way players like Kobe, LeBron, KG, and many more changed the way NBA basketball is played.

There WILL be more, and there WILL be new episodes of all your favorites. You won’t want to miss anything (especially Pete’s surprise), so go to the Nerdist Podcast Network homepage and Facebook page and subscribe to everything, just to make sure. You want to be sure.
