Sidekick with Matt Mira
Hosted by Nerdist Industries · EN
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. And ID10T podcast co-host, Matt Mira gets it. He wanted his own show but didn't want the pressure of hosting, and lucky for him, he got it. Mira acts as the ultimate late-night talk show sidekick to a brand new, different "guest host" each week on Sidekick.
