About The Whatnauts
The Whatnauts are making podcasts and exploring the universe.
The Whatnauts started with two friends just wanting to talk about pop culture. Now, we are a team of independent podcasters and content creators doing what we love. In 2016 we launched our first show, The Whatnauts Podcast. But everything changes and grows and now The Whatnauts is the brand name, not the name of the podcast. Since then, we have grown to have multiple podcasts including The Review Show, The Captain's Log, Crossplay, and The Reactor Corps. We cover everything from comics to movies, television shows, and more. Additionally, we cover manga, anime, and video games too. So, go check out our arsenal of podcasts and join us in exploring the universe.
Where did you come up with your name, The Whatnauts?
When our team of scientists and engineers created the brilliance that was our first podcast, they said we could talk about anything. As can be seen, we discuss movies, comics, television shows, anime, manga, and whatnot. Indeed! It was the idea of "whatnot" that both captured our imaginations and inspired us. We could do anything. Think of the countless universes we could explore and conquer! So, we likened ourselves to both astronauts and cosmonauts. Then BAM! Finally, the two words had sex and The Whatnauts was born.
