Geeks Explain It All

Hello again, ye faithful, and welcome to another year of outstanding conversations about geek culture here at Geeks Explain It All. To get the new year started off in style we are proud to present a follow up to our most popular episode ever, The Dr. Who episode! When we last left our intrepid podcasters, Stratosphear had tentatively stuck his big tow in the deep pool of the Whovian universe. Now, most excellent study that he is, he now does a synchronized cannonball with D-Dub into the deep end An in-depth discussion of ALL the doctors follows. Is this the end of the discussion? Hardly!!! We ask you, the fans, to do two things: 1). Check out the episode at these coordinates. 2). Contact us at [email protected] or feedback@geeksexplainitall. 3). Give us feedback and ratings at iTunes! Let us know what you would like us to do for future shows, and whether we should attempt an ongiong Dr. Who show! We can do it, but we won't unless we've got your support! P.S. Tune in again next time, when we will be discussing the evolution of Batman throught the years, and through the media! P.P.S. We apologize for the difficulties that were experienced with our 49th episode about Xmas music. Rest assured we are trying hard to correct this and it will be posted at some point in the future.

Hope you brought your quarters(or tokens) because we're back with our latest stroll down Memory Lane! We discuss the early days of arcade video game (along with some cool retro soundbites!) and then we move on to a discussion of Atari 2600 vs. Intellivision. To listen, just hit PLAYER ONE START. If there's a video game that was your favorite that we didn't discuss, drop us a line at [email protected] or [email protected]. Well, next time, we find ourselves in the middle of the holiday season, along with the accompanying holiday music. D-Dub and I are going to discuss the music we love and hate(MOSTLY hate) about the season. P.S. Make sure you listen to this one with the headphones on!!!! P.P.S.

Remember when you used to read the comics when you were a kid? Remember when you lived for seeing your favorite characters every day? Remember when we used to update this thing more regularly? Well, fear not, true believers, for we here at GEIA remember those things too, and are prepared to discuss for hours(well, one hour, anyway) our favorites and why we like them. Check it out here. It feels like we barely scratched the surface on this one, so if you have a favorite that we didn't get to contact us at [email protected] or [email protected]. Many,many,many,many,many,many,many,many,many,many,many,many,many,many,many,many, many,many,many,many,many,many,MANY thanks to Joe Eiden for filling in for this episode! Don't worry, guys, D-Dub will be back next time!

You know that thing where a character on a show is played by more than one actor? Or their character is written off the show, only to be replaced by a different character(who basically fills the same role as the old one)? Strat and D-Dub make fine sport of this topic, and there are only two bleeps in the whole episode!!! Check it out here. Our topic next time(with a special mystery guest) will be comic strips, a brief history and some of our favorites. As always we can be reached at [email protected] or [email protected]

Y'know, we here at GEIA would like to say, for the record, that real life sucks. Why, you may ask? Well, for one thing it keeps getting in the way of us getting to record your(and coincidentally, our) favorite show. But eventually the planets align and we come with a gem of a show like this one. And what do we thrill the masses with this time around? Why none other than a discussion of a subject near and dear to D-Dub's heart since he was a kid, the great ape himself, KING KONG! Check it out here.  We are attempting to get back on a regular schedule, so please be patient with us kids, We've got some really good shows that are coming up in the next few months. In the meantime ,as always, contact us at [email protected] or [email protected] R.I.P. Robin Williams. You were inspirational and you will be missed.

Just to do something a little different , this time around our discussion is not about a specific pop culture topic, but rather about different ways that we experience said pop culture. We get into the history of both recorded music and video, and how that has affected our perceptions of things. Check it out! Many, many thanks to Joe Eiden for suggesting this weeks topic. If you have an idea for a future show, or just like to hear your name said out loud, contact us at [email protected] or [email protected] Our topic next time will be a subject that is near and dear to D-Dub's heart: The history and phenomenon of... KONG!

Ever notice how people with little(or at the very least limited)talent keep getting roles in movies and making tons o' money? Well so do we, and we felt it was about time somebody did some serious ranting and raving about this subject!!! Do you agree with our choices? Or do you feel we're crazy(or uninformed)? Let us know at [email protected] or [email protected]. Our topic for next time is somewhat clouded in secrecy, but we can tell you it will involve a bit of a history lesson, and it was suggested by our good friend, Joe Eiden! Betcha can't wait! R.I.P. Casey Kasem!

Ever wondered what happened to your favorite bands? Well, this time around we discuss OUR favorites and what happened to them(eh,close enough). We discuss, Little River Band, Greg Kihn, and several others. WARNING: If you are a die-hard fan of Michael Stanley, you might want to pass this episode up. If on the other hand, you want some good dirt and hear D-Dub lose his s**t, by all means take a listen! If you have suggestions for future shows, suggestions on how we have betrayed a Cleveland favorite, or even Post-hypnotic suggestions, go to [email protected] or [email protected] and as they say, let 'er rip!!! Since this was about artists that we love(or used to anyway), we thought next time around we'd talk about who we hate. Well, hate is maybe TOO strong a word, but we will be asking "How do these people keep finding work?????" Until next time, remember, if there's an exception to every rule, is there an exception to THAT rule?

Everything you ever wanted to know about Disney theme parks! Yeh, that's what we wanted to discuss, but unfortunately the constraints of time prohibited us from talking about ABSOLUTELY everything. Still, this turned out to be a very fun episode, all about our various experiences with the parks, and also(as always) some pretty cool trivia. Check out our meeting of the Mouse here. As stated, we actually ran short on time, so there were a few stories, such as D-Dub's abandoned Waterpark adventure that we were unable to get into. To find out the whole story, or just 'cause you'd like to talk to us, contact us at [email protected] or [email protected] Our subject next time around will be a discussion of music acts( and possibly others) that we haven't heard from in a while; Whatever happened to...? Til next time, remember, you better behave;don't make us turn this podcast around.

In the interst of equal time(and shutting Strat the hell up) we devote this show to a discussion of the silver age of comics; this time around we talk about DC comics(and truth be known, we throw in a little about Marvel, just for comparison's sake). Throw in a little feedback from Joe's Corner and you've got another great episode in the books. Check it out here. The article on DC vs Marvel that is discussed can be found here. As always, when giving feedback, (good, bad or otherwise), contact us at [email protected] or [email protected]. Tune in again next time when our topic will be a discussion of Disney Parks. That's right, Disney parks. Deal with it. Til next time kids, remember, there are 10 types of people in the world: those who understand Binary and those who don't.
