The Geek Show

Technically we're a news podcast, although it should be pointed out that "technically" is a powerful word. Join Graham and Rob for another journey through the sometimes strange worlds of science and technology news as they discover oddities like Elon Musk’s latest "Boring" endeavour, getting power from screams (allegedly), spontaneous dinosaur combustion, slices of ketchup, armoured jackets for dogs, death-themed cafes, a rather strange company that wants to kill you in time for the Singularity, and much, much more. It's all deeply weird and terribly strange - which is basically the watchword of The Geek Show these days.

We're back for arduous journey into the hinterlands of science and technology news to bring more strange tales and weird happenings. This time it's Rob and Producer Rob captaining The Geek Show's flagship as it navigates through the cackling of Amazon's Alexa, fanatical Malaysian Apple fans (the technology company, not the fruit), modern "medicinal" leeches, record-breaking fidget spinners; record-breaking hula-hoop performers, political hair styles in Russia, realistic costume animal heads, Pizza Hut trainers, Jeff Goldblum and much, much more on top of that, so tune in.

The erstwhile Brundlefly of British podcasting - also known as The Geek Show - returns for another tongue-in-cheek romp through the hallowed halls of science and technology news, and this time Rob and Graham - who can more often be found together on that notorious hotbed of cultural anarchy called Literary Loitering - are running the show. You have been warned … So after some belated platitudes about Pokemon Day we burrow deep into the molehill of weirdness where we discover Thorpe Park's new roller-coaster, a teaser for HBO's adaptation of Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, pencil-holding problems, crisp flavours and teeth, brand awareness in primates, the trolling of scientific journals by science fiction and so much more. If you like the way we look at the world and want to support our mad efforts in whatever way you can, then please head over to https://www.patreon.com/thegeekshow and give whatever you can.

The Geek Show returns once again with more irreverent news from the strange realms of science, technology and other places in between, and this week Rob is joined by yet another Andrew (where are they all coming from?). This week's discoveries include Facebook's status as the social media for codgers, a sequel to the infamous Kung Fury, a strange Japanese virtual presence device, noise suppression for toilets, iced tea, expensive school uniforms, footwear for footwear, visual "noise" cancellation, pepper spray-flavoured beer, avant-garde crossovers and much, much, more.

It's time to join Rob and Andy for more news-based shenanigans from the realms of science and technology, and we're kicking things of this week with some recycling ... ... on the Moon After that it's all systems go with potential holodeck technology, stupidity causing smartphone batteries to explode, Germany's unconventional method to "control" children with ADHD, a TV comedy about metal detecting powering past the fourth wall, a Russian home-made "Iron Man", Nissan teaming up traditional Japanese inn to produce something decidedly odd, and much, much more.  Want a little more from The Geek Show?

News has such a loose meaning these days, and it's our job to make sure that - at least for the science and technology parts - that status remains as silly as possible. Down with fake news! So what's been happening this week? Well, one of the singers from '90s all-girl group All Saints has decided to do social media, B & M are offering a unique employment opportunity (Is it a dream job? One of us thinks so), babies kick up a lot of dirt according to clever science people, there's a crowd-funding project for something called CarWink (usefulness is relative), and the first film screened in a cinema in Saudi Arabia for 35 years is ... terrible.   After all that we take a look at some of the stranger pieces of technology (a couple of which might be very useful), that have debuted at the Consumer Electronics Show. Until next time, be careful what you do with Speedos.

Producer Rob and Mark are back with the last episode of The Geek Show for 2017! In the news this week, YouTube attempts to do a music subscription service (again), a Star Wars character popularity poll produces some disturbing Jar Jar-related results, San Francisco think that robots will conquer our pavements and walkways (possibly as a prelude to their uprising), cosplaying as Batman is the answer to all our productivity issues (according to 4 to 6 year-old children), and the Dutch police eagles versus drones reaches its inevitable conclusion.   After that we close out both the show and 2017 with odd ideas for gifts during the festive season. And from all of us at The Geek Show, have a very merry Christmas, a happy New Year, and be excellent to each other.

Producer Rob is joined by a rather ill Graham for another turn on our chatter-go-round. We kick things off this week with a look at Facebook's terrible security strategies before moving on to Google, who are offering people the most frightening and soul-destroying job that anyone could have on the internet. After that we find an possible and unexpected move in the career of Quentin Tarantino, the apocalypse bunker that couldn't, and one of the worst uses of a statue of Jesus since … well, it's just that bad. Also, since Literary Loitering is technically in the house this week (all we need is an Andrew), we also discuss the rise of web novels from their beginnings as fan fiction to the wonderful things people are doing with the medium over in the East.

The two Robs return for a new episode, and they're greeted with nuclear lightning, the worst blow science could ever deliver to the London tourism board, an 'intriguing' use of 3D printing technology and a film to end all films. What else can we say? It is that significant. After that we head out into the great beyond to discuss wars and treks among the stars, how they've managed to stay relevant in the 21st century and what their future holds. Like the Show?

It's the turn of Andy and Rob to take the helm of our flagship podcast and trawl the waters of science, technology and general geekery to find some interesting (if a little "fishy"), pieces of news. This week our two erstwhile "captains" discover a disturbing Chinese bootleg poster for the new DCEU film Justice League - which also features some Marvel heroes, the prominence of dowsing in 21st Century Britain. DARPA's plans for plants and Boston Dynamics' latest impressive-yet-terrifying addition to The Robot Revolution. It's a series of seemingly tall tales that segue's nicely into this week's discussion about the future of robot-kind (which also follows-on quite nicely from last week's chat about artificial intelligence).

This week Graham and Rob get scientific with this year's Ig Nobel Prize and follow-on from last week with more details about The Lord of the Rings' leap to the small screen. They also discuss some rather odd news for all you burger and pizza fans out there and the latest evolution of robot dog. After that it's time to get technical with some artificial intelligence. How much did pop culture get right, and why do we always resort to sexing our robots? These are the questions that need asking.

Rob and Andrew take some time out from their other shows for another blast from patriarch of our podcast family - The Geek Show. Aside from the news that Warner Bros. and Amazon may collaborate on a TV project that nobody is ready for (or may even want for that matter), Universal announce that their multi-monster "Dark Universe" may return to the drawing board, and the UK Government's HS2 railway project will interfere with a planned development that makes us pine for Bear Grylls: Trainfighter. Oh, and Japan. It's time we sat down and have a serious talk. After all of that, the guys take inspiration from the very recent Bonfire Night (where the UK celebrates someone attempting to blow up Parliament?), and discuss other historical events that would make good TV shows - which makes us realise that we're programming gods! Now where did we put On The Box ...

Halloween is in the air, but instead spooky ghosts we find a veritable rainbow of apocalypses. Apocalypses as far as the eye can see, from zombie to biblical - you name it we rush on past it like a speeding bullet (but we forgot about aliens because our neighbours in the universe never stop by to say hello). We also have our usual selection of news including cheque clearing finally joining the 21st century, Sooty weighing in on the north-south divide, translation software getting people in trouble with the law and Reuters News Agency buying the last thing you'd ever expect them too.

Hoist the sails for another quick trip around the marina with our flagship podcast (See? We can do boat puns). This week Graham and Andrew anchor down for Spiders in Surrey, UK droners, Snapchat hot-dogs and a rather tragic fail for a YouTube wannabe trying to prank way above his station. There's also a discussion on the future of Marvel's post-Thanos Cinematic Universe, along with seamless plugs for our extended podcast family. Yes, you read that right. Seamless.

The grand-pappy of The Geek Show Podcast Network returns for another blast of news and geeky conversation. This week we take a look at the title for the new Han Solo film, A member of Blink 182's quest for space aliens, police hover-bikes, and a brand new Stranger Things game. After that, Andy and Rob talk about the future of Virtual Reality - which obviously means a lot of talk about Red Dwarf and Holodecks. You'd think we were obsessed or something ...
