Hosted by Nerdist and Geek & Sundry, Alpha is one huge celebration that everyone's invited to!

As part of the experience you’ll get live programming, movies, early access to our existing beloved series, forums, access to special events around pop culture happenings, and the chance to win awesome prizes.

On Alpha, you can expect features such as "guesting," which allows you to appear on-screen to directly interact and flamecommunicate with your favorite hosts and celebrity guests, polling (which allows you to choose our next move for us), and much, much more.

  • Your Favorites

    Watch your favorite Nerdist and Geek & Sundry shows like Because Science and Co-Optitude before everyone else! Feel good about yourself as you type "First!" every time you watch something on Alpha.

  • Exclusive Content

    Explore and interact with new exclusive content from Nerdist and Geek & Sundry, including a full slate of new shows!

  • Exclusive Events

You can expect to point your eyeholes towards existing shows that you already love, a brand new slate of content from Nerdist and Geek & Sundry, and special licensed shows and movies. Content will be available 24/7 on VOD, but Alpha offers a large amount of live broadcasts too, which allows you to interact with us in real time. All live programming is visible and accessible from our dynamic schedule page.

Critical Role: Alpha Edition

The hit roleplaying game that you know and love, Geek & Sundry's Critical Role is live on Alpha and better than ever! Matthew Mercer continues to lead our campaign members on an epic D&D adventure through Tal'Dorei, and you can fully immerse yourself in the enhancements that Alpha brings to the experience. Enjoy Critical Role on Alpha with real-time dynamic character sheets, damage and heal animations, and special visualizations.

TableTop Season 4

Nerd icon Wil Wheaton invites his friends to share witty banter, cheeky camaraderie, and curated board games bi-weekly with TableTop! Pairing familiar geek faces with a healthy mix of classic games and highly anticipated new tabletop games, TableTop is one of the most engaging shows to watch week after week! See TableTop exclusively on Alpha (right now!), well before it airs on YouTube in early 2017.

Vast

Explore the sprawling universe of VAST, a science fiction roleplaying game set in space! Your mission: get involved as our players take on the roles of fearless space exploration crews. Ten notable cast members, split into two teams of five, alternate weekly. The creator, Jackson Lanzing, is also the Game Master of this epic space opera.

Alpha Book Club

Rachel Heine, Hector Navarro, and Maude Garrett invite you to join them in a special celebration of everything literary. Join along each week to read and discuss these fun and interesting titles. When the book club finishes a title, you get to help decide the next one!

Sidekick with Matt Mira

The other guys, the number twos, the Sidekicks. You've all heard of them, and if you can't figure out who yours is... well, it's probably you. As co-host of the Nerdist podcast, Matt Mira gets it. Mira acts as the ultimate late-night talk show sidekick to a brand new, different "guest host" each week on Sidekick.

Talks Machina

Talks Machina is the official Critical Role after/talk show hosted by writer and friend of the Critical Role cast, Brian Wayne Foster. The show features a unique and completely fan-centered format, with cast members, super-fans, and celebrity guests breaking down the previous week's episode. Plus, viewers might even win exclusive/limited edition Critical Role merchandise, tickets to live events, or a chance to be on the show and ask the cast questions of their own!

Watch Your Language

Comedy, wordplay, hip-hop... this show has it all! Through a mixture of live and pre-taped segments, comedian/rapper Zach Sherwin ("Epic Rap Battles") examines the world around him and meets audiences at the intersection of funny, relevant, and super smart word-nerdery with Watch Your Language!

Welcome to the Shadow Zone

Finally famous enough to have his own show, Onyx discusses horror films and video games, and interviews family members, neighborhood adversaries, and celebrity guests. The best part? It's all from Onyx's "unique" perspective.

Alpha members get special member invites to Nerdist and Geek & Sundry events at conventions like SXSW, PAX West, GenCon, and also smaller, more intimate community events in your own backyard. But not that intimate.
