This week's episode may just have the most outtakes in podcast history - and all of the were necessary. Elsewhere within the hallowed halls of The Geek Show we find space travel, virtual reality weddings, the Japanese exploits of Colonel Sanders, internet research techniques and true immortality - which leads to an episode title that brings bittersweet feelings of a super sentai show that will never be ... #News #Science #Technology #Comedy #Surreal #Japan #Weird #Improvisation #Podcasts #TheGee...

There are an awful lot of see-saw's this week as we start with a serious discussion (no, really), which gets derailed by a toaster. Things continue from there in a similar fashion with paperclips, robots, torrenting, and the latest exploits from PETA. That's just how we roll ... #TheGeekShow #News #Comedy #Podcasts #Science #Technology #Weird

Now that everything's nice and cosy we head straight back to the weirder ends of science and technology news spectrum, and along the way we discover sixth senses, deep sea romances, the sound of the wind, social media friends for hire and more. #TheGeekShow #News #Comedy #Podcasts #Science #Technology #Weird

Instead of the usual Christmas special, join us for our latest adventure special in which things get weird. if that title wasn't enough of a clue. As much of a mantra of the podcast as it is these adventure specials - we never do things the normal way. Merry Christmas and we shall see you all again in 2017.

... And we return to the long missing adventure specials, picking up our slightly mad and totally not improvised interpretation of dungeons & dragons about elves, Santa, the communist manifesto and the end of the world. Its weird, it's fun and its the 1st part of a double episode.

Things get a little complicated on the Geek Show this week as we look both backwards and forwards at the same time, or in other words - prequels. Sometimes these can be a source of great upset, sometimes they can be actually good - shocking we know. We also ask some (totally important) questions of Star Wars and Lord of the Rings. Mostly Star Wars.

We've all seen or read superhero comics or movies and they all have wildly descructive powers that help them in their day job of saving the world. But when they are at home, super strength or telekenesis aren't the most useful things in the world. This week on the Geek Show we look at the mundane, overlooked superpowers that we wish we had in the latest defend your choice episode.

Apologies about the break, we have been in the process of moving offices. For this return we continue our defend your choice series by looking at escapes, whether from prisons, islands, zombie apocalypse or your own sense of being.

After one of the weirdest news sections in a good long while, we dive into the latest episode of defend your choices. This time out we look at our favourite villains. Along the way we look titles as diverse as Silent Hill, Cowboy Bebop and No Country for Old Men, while deliberating what is better - Machiavellian villains set on watching the world burn or those that are scarier for being more real, well... that or a purple tentacle.

Opening with the most innuendo sodden news section in all podcast-dom, thanks China. We decided to look at the past, present and future of technology - with tongue firmly in cheek, of course, this is no serious podcast. We also look at the technology we've seen in pop culture that we just can't wait to get our hands on, even if some of it is technically impossible. Poppycock we say.

For many fans and collectors Mother, now known as Earthbound Zero, is an odd but much beloved video game. Part RPG, part urban legend – the story of the journey from its original Japanese release to its official Western release almost a quarter of a century later is something that has been the sources of much speculation over the years. Now, a group of fans are running a Kickstarter campaign to produce a new documentary called “Mother to Earth” which charts the very involved and convoluted journ...
