On this episode of the geek show we are joined by Chris Williams and Dougy Pincott from the Animex International Festival of Animation to get the lowdown on what’s on and who to look out for. Also joining us in the studio are Mel Robson and Nyle – a dynamic duo of a uniquely talented model maker and quite possibly the world’s first motion capture guide dog, and together with Dougy they're producing a movie to highlight some of the issues around visual impairment. www.thegeekshow.co.uk

 Meandering Mic - Geof Banyard Interview | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1775

[NSFW] Technically this WAS an MCM Expo interview, but its 30 minutes long and more in with my usual rambliness. Dr. Geoff is the author and artist of the Fetishman series of online comics, and the creator of the ‘First Tea Division’ fictional army. Generally he’s the creator of kinky, steampunky, tea-based, cute… things. http://www.islandofdoctorgeof.co.uk/.

 Meandering Mic - Charlie McDonnell Interview | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1712

Unlike certain other, later editions of “Meandering Mic” we stayed on topic… Don’t give us that look, it’s both possible and true -_- FINE! See for yourself: listen as Harry talks to Charlie “Charlieissocoollike” McDonnell, and get a view into the work ‘schedule’ of a YouTube content creator. Also we talk Games, TV, Music and we even play a little game. www.thegeekshow.co.uk

 S03E20 - The Christmas Special | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 5589

 S03E18 - Magic Vs Science | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 5584

Originally broadcast in 2011. “Any sufficiently advanced science is indistinguishable from magic” – Arthur C. Clarke’s Third Law. On this episode of the geek show we trawl the entertainment world to find out why the line between magic and science is so clearly defined, and ask if there should be a line in the first place. www.thegeekshow.co.uk

 S03E17 - B-Culture | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 5470

Originally broadcast in 2011. In this episode of the Geek Show we turn our backs on the mainstream and plumb the murky depths of ‘B-culture’ where we discover the worst movie ever made, eccentric developers who express themselves with games, and much more. www.thegeekshow.co.uk

 E03E16 - Doki Doki Special 2011 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 5363

This week on the Geek Show we head over to Manchester to cover the delightful Doki Doki. A brilliant day was had by all. Interviews with the Manchester Steampunk Association. Taiko West. Organisers of the Lolita fashion show and the winner of the cosplay contest. Any competition mentioned on air is void unless mentioned otherwise. www.thegeekshow.co.uk

 S03E15 - The Price of Fun | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 5666

Originally broadcast in 2011. Are games too expensive? Is free music really “free”? What does your cinema ticket actually pay for? We use our brains in this episode (yes, we know it makes a nice change), to pick through the labyrinth of financial concerns as we ask the question “How much does entertainment actually cost?” (and no, the answer isn’t £2.57). www.thegeekshow.co.uk

 S03E14 - October MCM Special 2011 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 6065

The Geek Show welcomes you to Momo, Harry, Becka and Phil’s intrepid and ridiculous travels on our second trip to London MCM Expo. www.thegeekshow.co.uk

 S03E13 - Henchmen | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 5291

Originally broadcast in 2011. Welcome to the Geek Show’s third meeting of The Villain Appreciation Society! This time we’ll be discussing the hired help, in particular who should be you’re right (or left), hand man/woman/beast/thing/plant, why it’s important to have good help when enacting your plots and plans, the difference between henchmen and mooks, and why you should always have someone around to take care of all the odd jobs. If anyone wants to take minutes for this meeting then you have too much free time on your hands. Remember, being evil is hard work. www.thegeekshow.co.uk

 S03E12 - Action Heroes | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 5174

On this action packed episode of the Geek Show, we dive through windows, kick down doors, find out where the best weapons are, and walk slowly away from explosions. No, really. We weren't just playing [insert action game here], honest… Okay, so we wanted to be action heroes too.

 S03E11 - Eurogamer (and other stuff) | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 4835

Originally broadcast in 2011. Any competition mentioned on air is closed unless mentioned otherwise. Our good friend and colleague Momijisu (she of the usagimimi), decided to take a trip to Eurogamer, so we gave her a mic. Suffice to say she did so well, she scored some very nice interviews. We also talk a little about Steve Jobs, who sadly passed away during the week before the show was broadcast. www.thegeekshow.co.uk

 S03E10 - Anti-Heroes | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 5169

On this weeks episode of the Geek Show, we examine (i.e. argue with each other then go for a pint), the move away from the clean cut, whiter-than-white heroes. Join us as we take a look at the bad good guys, musicians who use “shock” tactics and the rise of the super anti-hero. Oh, and we also wonder why morality systems only have two choices. Seriously, where’s the “I don't care either way so leave me alone” button? www.thegeekshow.co.uk
