Things get a little complicated this week as we look both backwards and forwards at the same time (or in other words – prequels). Sometimes these can be a source of great frustration and, quite shockingly, sometimes they can actually be good. We also ask some (totally important) questions about […]

S13E05 – Japanese Robocop is a Douche
Don’t worry because the Judderman won’t get you, but Japanese Robocop might. This week we look at the murky world of advertising – from product placement and celebrity endorsement to the more entertaining side that can sometimes be better than real TV shows. Tune in to The Geek Show Podcast […]
S13E04 – King of the Rainbow Sasquatches
We’ve all seen or read superhero comics or movies where the characters have wildly destructive powers that help them in their day job of saving the world. But when they’re at home, super strength, flight and being able to find a needle in a haystack aren’t the most useful abilities […]
S13E03 – We Forgot The Great Escape
Apologies about the break, we’ve been moving offices. For our return episode we continue our “Defend Your Choice” series with a look at escapes of all types (prisons, islands, zombie apocalypses or your own sense of being – okay, maybe not the last one since we’re not that type of […]
S13E02 – Glam Max Vs. Brum Corleone
This week we launch a brand new structure (you’ll hear more about that on the show). It’s time to get into another episode of Defend your Choice, and this time it’s fictional vehicles.

S12E17 – Machiavellian Licks

S12E16 – Hardly Working
This week we decided to take a break by the watercooler and chat about the 9-5 working day. While thoroughly slacking off we discuss – well Rob does – whether fishing is a job, RPGs and the sort of simulations that made the 1990s one of gamings finest ages. Reviews: […]
S12E15 – Googlewhacking
After opening with the most innuendo-ridden news section in all podcast-dom (thanks China), we decided to look at the past, present and future of technology – with tongue firmly in cheek of course. We also look at the technology we’ve seen in pop culture that we just can’t wait to […]
