S.T.E.A.M.Geeks - The League of S.T.E.A.M.

We felt it was high past time to reprise our exploration of season beverages. Back again is Eron Rauch, cocktail enthusiast, photographer, food blogger and friend. We sit down around the microphones to warm up in spirit of the season with some seasonal spirits! Following that, we discuss some simple DIY style gifts ideas.

Here at the S.T.E.A.M.Geeks crew, we know we're lucky and have quite a bit to be thankful for. In the spirit of the season, we reached out to our closest friends and asked them to tell us what they're thankful for this year. Here, like a turkey dinner for your ears, are the thanks of The League of S.T.E.A.M. family.

We decided that Nerf was much to fun of a subject to limit to one podcast! Returning to that fertile field, we discuss how Nerf relates to steampunk, cosplay, has spawned its own costuming subgenre and Nerf culture in general. Joining Nick and Glenn are: Ken Braden, James Fail and Kim Beierl of The Adventurers League of G.E.A.R.S. (YouTube); Austin Serkin and Megan Maude.

In keeping with our spirit of adventure, Glenn and Sheyne took to the streets, er, aisles of Comikaze Expo 2013. With microphone in hand they set out to take the pulse of the con, live, as it happened from the "Fan in the Street."

We couldn't call ourselves "geeks", now, if we didn't devote an episode to discussing all things Nerf. Glenn and Nick, who are the biggest fan of Nerf in the S.T.E.A.M.Geeks crowd, are joined by fellow Nerf-a-holic James Fail, of The Adventurers League of G.E.A.R.S. Along the way they discuss all things Nerf and foam dart related. Will we determine if it truly is "Nerf or Nothing!" ? Well, there's only one way to find out!

Once again it's our favorite time of year. Halloween season, of course! Nick, Glenn, Russ and Andrew convene to commune with the dark powers. By dark powers, I mean breakfast cereals, and by commune I mean eat. General Mills has issued for this Halloween season the it full line of spooky sugary cereals: Fruit Brute, Yummy Mummy, Boo Berry, FrankenBerry and Count Chocula! Suitably fortified with several times the daily recommended allotment of vitamins and minerals, we tell tales of Halloweens gone by.

In keeping with our spirit of adventure, we gave live streaming a try with Google Plus's Hangouts on Air. If you missed it, or just wanted to relive the fun in audio format, we're making our Live Webcast 01 this week's S.T.E.A.M.Geeks episode! Join Nick, Robin, Trip, Russ, Andrew, Kate, Sheyne, Glenn, and Conrad in their own living rooms as we talk like pirates, talk about talking like pirates, discuss some very advance topics regarding the third season of our web series and answer some viewer questions. All as we try to figure out how hangouts work!

We have an awesome podcast for you this time around! While at Dragon*Con 2013, the S.T.E.A.M.Geeks partnered with the Ratchet Retrocast crew to bring you an at-con, recorded in front of a live audience, double podcast. This is part one, part two will be available via the Ratchet Retrocast in one week! Don't miss out!

James Lavrakas joins the S.T.E.A.M.Geeks as we get into the details of preparing, launching and following up on the impending Kickstarter campaign for The Adventures of The League of S.T.E.A.M. Season Three.

Closing fast in a stern chase to our discussion of pirates, Cedric Whittaker of the Airship Isabella (Twitter: @airshipisabella, AirshipIsabellaFilms, Etsy) and Ken "Sharky" Braden of the League of GEARS (Twitter: @LeagueofGEARS) man the bridge with Glenn, Nick and Sheyne to discuss how Airship Piracy and Steampunk ended up going hand in hand.
