“Top 10 Strongest Black Love Affairs in Nerd Culture?” #137 [Black Nerd Podcast]
Mon Feb 02 2026
Love isn't just a subplot; in the multiverse, it’s a superpower. As we kick off Black History Month 2026 & speed closer to Valentines Day, we’re moving beyond the "struggle" and centering on Black Joy and Connection.
In this episode, we’re counting down the Top 10 Strongest Love Affairs in Nerd Culture. We aren't just talking about "ships"—we’re talking about the ride-or-die partnerships that have survived cosmic reboots, zombie apocalypses, and the high-stakes world of public education. From the royal union of T'Challa and Storm to the slow-burn "nerd-meets-nerd" chemistry of Janine and Gregory, we explore why these couples resonate so deeply with the Blerd community.
Join us as we analyze how these relationships challenge historical stereotypes, celebrate vulnerability, and prove that in every timeline, Black love is a radical and necessary force.
