The Giggaheim Podcast presents a special new addition called “THE GEEK OUT SERIES.”

In this series, a veteran fan will speak with a rookie about a television show, movie, book, video game, or other arena of fandom that they’ve recently been exposed to by the guidance of the interviewer. As always at The Giggaheim Podcast, we strive to take the listener from “Noob to Initiated” so these specials will concentrate on the important questions for you: How did the new fan get into the subject? What made it a work worth seeing through to the end? What did they think of it, and, most importantly, would they recommend it to you? The inaugural edition of Geek Out covers Warren Ellis’ and John Cassaday’s Planetary comic book, published originally by Wildstorm Comics, now DC Comics.

Pete, our comic book editor and interviewer for this episode, managed to get Doug, our technology editor, into the graphic novel series. As a good mentor should, Pete guided him through the 5 volumes of Planetary (okay, 4 canon and one crossover called Crossing Worlds), and, in this interview asks Doug all the questions needed to initiate a Geek Out of Planetary proportions. Have a listen. Who knows? Maybe you’ll Geek Out over Planetary too!
