Nerdist
Nerdist News, which started in February 2012 and was previously known as GeekChicDaily, is the pop culture newsletter under the Nerdist brand. It was established and initially managed by Peter Levin, the former CEO of Nerdist Industries. Currently, this cross-platform publisher features two newsletters: Nerdist News and TOKYOPOP. The transformation from GeekChicDaily to Nerdist News occurred when it merged with Nerdist to create Nerdist Industries in February 2012. By late 2013, Nerdist News evolved into a web series on the "Nerdist" YouTube channel, hosted by Jessica Chobot, a former presenter from IGN Daily Fix. This series delivers the latest updates in nerdy pop culture five days a week.
