2018/07/18

The Geek Show returns for another irreverent jaunt through the world, and this time Andy and Producer Rob are at the helm - which basically means there's nobody steering!

It's time for another jaunt into the weird world of science, technology and beyond, so join Rob and Producer Rob as they delve into the cosmos and head to Pluto to find out what it's made of (just to be clear, we're not picking a fight). After that it's back to Planet Earth to milk some cockroaches before we check out Holland's vegan steaks, Japan's intergalactic telepathy, Australia's never-ending mission to defend indigenous wildlife, and much, much more.

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

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!

One of us thinks so), babies kick up a lot of dirt according to clever science people, there's a

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

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.
