Heyyy, welcome to the GNAPcast--your source of geekly entertainment!
Welcome to a very special episode of the GNAPcast, one that was a long time in the planning--it's Improvapalooza, the episode where everything's made up and the points don't matter!
In an episode inspired by their love of improv comedy and shows like Whose Line Is It, Anyway?, join Seth, David, and featuring returning guest Luke and new guest Lucas (aka SparkOtter) as they fumble their way through several improvised comedy sketches (some of which work surprisingly well in a non-visual medium).
Along the way we'll discover that it's really hard for an amnesiac to give a press conference, that Luke and Lucas could both be voice actors, and that every accent David does turns into Arnold Schwarzenegger pretending to be Scottish!
5% Savvy is a musical project created by Seth, Luke, and Lucas with influences from Broadway to Irish folk music. You can find out more about us on Twitter, or by checking out our website. Stay Savvy!

Heyyy, welcome to the GNAPcast--your source of geekly entertainment!
It's time for a new game, one that may or may not be a little bit complicated! Join David and Seth this week as they test each others' knowledge of movie and book quotes from some of their favourite geeky, nerdy topics. Along the way, we'll also discover that Seth has an absurd memory for names, while David might possibly spend just a little bit too much time on the internet.
From Star Wars to Sherlock, come along with us as we fight to the death for supremacy! ...in a trivia game. So, you know. Non-lethally. Unless someone has figured out how to win a war using only trivia quotes, in which case it would be lethal. Hmm... maybe we should market that.
Whatever the case may be, enjoy this game of improbable trivia!

Heyyy, welcome to the GNAPcast! Here we go again--we're about to tackle another lively attempt to logic through some bizarre and totally relevant hypothetical situations--it's Would You Rather!
Join David, Seth, and brand-new guest Abi on an adventure through the Internet, where we discover that after 15 episodes we've managed to finally go mainstream!...according to this game, at least. We also learn that David wishes he had a Batcave, Seth wants to be an Ewok, and that some of us (not naming any names) really, really hate spiders.
This episode features Abi, a broadcasting tech-in-training from Ohio who has no sense of balance and thinks Superman is overpowered. (You can decide for yourselves if she's right, we refuse to comment.)
You can play along at home, too! Ask yourself only the most important question: Would You Rather?

Heyyy, welcome to the GNAPcast! In this epic finale to our two-part Harry Potter quiz, we (and Luke) discuss, blindly guess, and dream-logic our way through more trivia questions about the Wizarding World! Come along with us to find out things you never knew you wanted to know about The Boy Who Lived; and again, beware spoilers for this book/film series that now includes a five-part film series based on a textbook mentioned one time in the first book!
This episode features Luke, our Trivia-giver and a man who very much enjoys chunky peanut butter.
You can play along at home, too! Here's the Cleansweep Seven level quiz (easy), here's the Nimbus Two-Thousand level quiz (medium); and if you're really feeling brave, why not tackle the FIREBOLT level (much hard)?!?

Heyyy, welcome to the GNAPcast! Continuing our trend of Harry Potter-themed conversations, this week we (along with our new guest Luke) tackle a trio of tricky trivia games all about The Boy Who Lived. And, y'know, some of his friends. They're sorta important, too. In any case, join us in this extra long, two-part episode for more Potter shenanigans--including some odd guesses and strange reasonings to get there--and once again, beware spoilers for this book/film series that's now almost old enough to get a reboot!
This episode features Luke, a programmer from Maryland with a voice like an angel and a strangely scientific approach to making wand cores.
You can play along at home, too! Here's the Cleansweep Seven level quiz (easy); and here's the Nimbus Two-Thousand level quiz (medium).

Heyyy, welcome to the GNAPcast! Join us this week as we chat again with Cassie and reminisce about some of our favorite moments from the Harry Potter films (all 9, at the time of this recording). MASSIVE SPOILER WARNING if you haven't seen any of these movies, some of which are fifteen years old now.
This episode features Cassie again, who is definitely not a fan of Hermione getting tortured. That's good, right...?
