S15 Ep7: S15E07 - Old-Fashioned Robot Dating

The Geek Show ·

2017/11/17

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

2017/11/10

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:

S15 Ep5: S15E05 - Ewoks at the Earth’s Core

The Geek Show ·

2017/11/03

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

2017/10/27

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 Geek Show ·

2017/10/20

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 ... If you like this show or any of the

S15 Ep2: S15E02 - Night of the Living Bwaaamps

The Geek Show ·

2017/10/13

It's time for another edition of the reliable flagship! This week we're discussing the official death of the Windows phone, the promotion of Facebook's new Spaces application, the safety of self-driving cars and more. We also take a look at what's been happening on the network over the past week before we round things off with sci-fi franchises that we would love to see remade, rebooted or just continued - with obvious stopovers at Star Wars, Star Trek, The X-Files and the current technofantasy

S15 Ep1: S15E01 - Glam Rock & New Beginnings

The Geek Show ·

2017/10/10

We were off for a while, launching our Youtube, travelling about and doing things we utterly regret. You know? Normal Summer stuff. After a couple of months off we return with a new form. We've changed a lot over the years, but this is (probably) our final form - we promise. This is Boss Mode Geek Show, and if we were in an RPG we'd look like a giant god monster that the antagonist would inevitably have to sell his soul to.

The Geek Show ·

2017/08/10

It’s the end of Series 14 so we decided to talk about endings ... in a sense. Join us as we meander through Doctor Who, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, comic-book endings (and the lack thereof - especially when killing off characters), video game endings and more.

The Geek Show ·

2017/08/02

We return to the sacred halls of journalism to discover more strange wonders from science and technology news. This week our jumble of oddities includes a man stuck in an ATM, the scientific usage of "derpy", a crackdown on Winnie the Pooh, Baboon-based power outages, Komodo Dragon blood, Tardigrades, US Space Marines, giant balloon robots, KFC merchandise, a disturbing story about contact lenses and other strange tidings from the real world.

S14E21 - On the Grassy Knoll of Controversy

The Geek Show ·

2017/07/20

It's time for another round of arguments as we really get some things off our chest! That's right, it's time for Defend Your Choice, and this time we looking at things that people seem to adore (for whatever reason), but that we think are in no way deserving of their status. Prepare for controversy as we run roughshod over 1980's nostalgia, titans of fantasy literature, the favourite sons of ubiquitous video game franchises, legendary comic-book characters, serious silliness in movies, beloved

S14E20 - I'm Forever Milking Kaiju

The Geek Show ·

2017/07/13

After returning from our travels we found a heap of weird technology and science news waiting for us. Kicking things off this week is NATO, who have called a particular global malware attack a declarations of war. After that we allow the strangeness to wash over us with NASA wanting to have a go at Armageddon (without Aerosmith and Bruce Willis), the NHS being outed as the world’s largest purchaser of fax machines (and baseball bats to destroy this rebellious and outdated technology), the

The Geek Show ·

2017/07/06

It's that time of the year again. People are converging on a famous stadium in Newcastle wearing the costumes of their heroes. There's a tense atmosphere in the air as everyone waits for the action to start, but this is no game of football because it's Sunnycon time! Join the guys along with Tucky - the Ambassador of Sunnycon (no he doesn't have any Ferrero Rocher), who's also a member of our very own KeyFrame Podcast. We discuss the evolution of the convention, the plans for the future and the

The Geek Show ·

2017/06/30

Apologies for the delay with this episode - it's been hectic at Casa de Geek Show. This week we return to our usual exploration of the weirder fringes of science and technology news including malware causing power cuts in the Ukraine, space bread, "direct reality" (whatever the hell that is), Wifi on Everest, crimes against Star Wars collections, cheese-powered Super Soldiers, prehistoric poo, high scores on Ms. Pacman and self confidence for robots. It's a diverse week if ever there was one

S14E17 - That's No USB Port

The Geek Show ·

2017/06/09

This week we go free-form for a discussion about smartphones. Beginning with the origins of the species, find out what we use our smartphones for as we discover how powerful they've become. We also surmise about the future of smartphones and the role that mobile gaming has to play in it all. If that sounds a bit more serious than usual, worry not because we have jokes - lots of them. #Nintendo #Smartphones #PC #Samsung #iPhone #Apple #VideoGames #Gaming #SocialMedia #Podcasts #Review

The Geek Show ·

2017/06/06

We have adorable robots and nonsense aplenty this week, so join us as we parade our way through the stranger side of science and technology news (while also discovering why Pepé Le Pew is the worst). With Samsung's security, pacemaker hacking, teaching AIs in Paris, North Korean technology announcements, Toyota driving school, Singapore's giant vending machine, robotic mediators, fidget spinners, monkey mafia and the titular RoboPriest, it's quite the busy week. #TheGeekShow #Podcast #News

The Geek Show ·

2017/05/31

It's that time of the month again so get ready for another round of Defend your Choice. This time the theme is fictional sports and games that we wish existed in reality (i.e. really real instead of the fake real that is real-world quidditch). This week we were broadcasting from what felt like the sweltering centre of an active volcano (it's a miracle we managed to record so well), where the temperature caused us to misfire regularly (it was so hot!). Thankfully we didn't spend long the the bleak

S14E14 - Iggle Piggle's Army of War Drones

The Geek Show ·

2017/05/24

Another week, another odd episode title that defies all sense of reason or logic. It's a theme that's continued throughout the show as we discuss electoral Snapchat, pirates, London trains, prison drones, KitKat's, xenomorphs, Russia (twice), and social realism for clowns. It's a mad, mad, mad world and we just love it.

The Geek Show ·

Underground, overground, rambling free. The ramblers of The Geek Show, common are we. This week the gang have a long and meandering chat about ... stuff. From gunge and celebrity albums to terrible comic book villains and Steven Seagal - with lots of other stuff in between. Yeah, we don't get it either. #Podcast #TheGeekShow #News #Science #Technology #Discussion #Weird #Gunge #1990s #KidsTV #StevenSeagal #Improvisation #Conversation

We return to the treasure trove of science and technology news, and as always there are some great goodies. This week we discover Uber's flying cars, NASA's space chainmail, scientific proof that humans are the best at throwing, the slight madness of James Cracknell, strange things on Tinder, fruit juice in Russia, Australian exposé shockers, robot dogs, the weird world of LEGO and Artificially Intelligent anime phone girlfriends. Naturally those suggestive gems lead us off into some truly

S14E11 - Calvin & Hobbes Save Japan

The Geek Show ·

2017/04/26

We take a break from the weird world of science and technology news for a good old bout of Defend Your Choice. This time the two Rob's and Andrew hit the comics and manga to find superheroes that they'd love to see on the big screen. Some of the choices are brilliant, some are subversive, and some make you question why you've ever bothered to pick up a comic book. It's The Geek Show, so it just wouldn't be right without us messing around with those complicated feelings, would it? #TheGeekShow
