Career
Puschak was a multimedia editor at MSNBC and hosted the Discovery Channel show Seeker Daily.[2]
The NerdWriter series began in 2011 and has been updated almost every week exploring a range of topics from film to current affairs to sitcoms to philosophy.[3] Puschak explains his approach to the wide range of topics dissected in the NerdWriter essays, "It's in the construction of a video that I understand and learn the most. I just move toward what interests me in that week, or that month."[4]
The popularity of The NerdWriter has attracted attention from industry personnel, media outlets, and film schools.[5] His most popular video essays include How Donald Trump Answers A Question, Harry Potter & The Prisoner of Azkaban: Why It's The Best, and Sherlock: How To Film Thought. His popular essay on Trump's speeches elicited an article from Slate, "It may sound like gibberish, but there’s an accidental brilliance to Trump’s style of speech."[6]
