A former poor kid from the country who accidentally collected degrees in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, and Math, he reverse-engineered his way into being a best-selling author of political humor, an award-winning filmmaker, and a TV personality. He\u2019s obsessed with why people think what they think, a trait he blames on speaking too many languages and not knowing when to stop traveling. His approach to knowledge is that of a polite raccoon: he will pick up any shiny, obscure fact, examine it from all angles, and try to fit it into the grand puzzle of human behavior. He provides the structural integrity for this podcast, much like the mathematical principles that keep a bridge from collapsing under the weight of its own weird ideas.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_column_7 et_pb_column et-last-child et_flex_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et_flex_column_12_24 et_flex_column_24_24_phone\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_image_3 et_pb_image et_pb_module et_flex_module\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thedorksidepodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/noel2.webp\" width=\"600\" height=\"601\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thedorksidepodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/noel2.webp 600w, https:\/\/thedorksidepodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/noel2-480x481.webp 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 600px, 100vw\" class=\"wp-image-121\" \/><\/span><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_3 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_flex_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h3>Noel Roberts<\/h3>\n<p>Noel is the brilliantly incisive and culturally-rich curiosity curator for the DORK Side. A first- generation American with deep Syrian roots, her perspective is a unique fusion of Middle Eastern warmth, sharp observational humor, and a relentless drive to ask &#8220;Okay, but really, why?&#8221; She navigates the world with the intellectual agility of someone who grew up decoding cultures, making her the perfect guide for the obscure. If Kevin maps the neural pathways of a topic, Noel colors in the vivid, unexpected details\u2014drawing connections between ancient Petra, the psychology of mall food courts, and the definitive ranking of movie witches. She brings vital energy to the show, ensuring no weird stone is left unturned and that all tangents are explored with equal parts skepticism and delight.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-8","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.4 -
