We mention on this week's show that the Axolotl is the cutest creature on the planet, controversial we know, but with the episode post we present all our key evidence.

The Geek Show ·

2019/08/29

The Geek Show returns once again to dip its toes in pop culture, science and technology news, and as usual things take a turn for the weird. The big story this week is the Sony-Marvel divorce - which basically means no more Spider-Man in the MCU after the current plans are finished. After that we discover a potential fourth Matrix movie, using goats to prevent forest fires, fossils of comically large birds in New Zealand, Youtube actually admitting to a mistake, robotic exo-shorts, autonomous

After a short break between episodes (on account of one of the hosts moving house), The Geek Show returns for our regular, bi-monthly look at the weird and crusty outer layer of science and technology news with a podcasting taste that really shouldn't be licked. Like that trailer for Cats. Yikes .... Anyway, anthropomorphism seems to be the order of the day as a collaboration of international scientists in China claim to have created hybridised monkey-human embryos, while the Japanese Science

2019/06/25

We've been away for a little while because of E3 (check out our coverage on our YouTube channel, and don't forget to subscribe while you are there), but we won't dwell on that because things other than video games have been happening in the world. So, kicking things off this week is the reaction of Marvel fans to the company's mysterious Twitter countdown and subsequent reveal, before we move on to a gang used the identity of a French minister to steal $90 million in a Mission Impossible-style

After a slightly extended break the weirdly funny stain on the wallpaper of technology and science news podcasts returns to deface your walls.

In other news, Facebook finally invite journalists into their European "War Room", Microsoft revives the paper clip in a new form with Ideas, a virtual presence device for police traffic stops in the U.S., six packs with abdominal

The Internet's goofiest science and technology podcast returns with the two Robs (or is it Rob and Bruce P. Gigabyte?), taking another little stroll on the wilder and sometimes wackier side of the news. This week we're kicking things off with the big astronomy news, which is the first real "photograph" of an actual black hole! After that things get a bit more technical with plans for an independent internet watchdog, YouTube jumping on the "chose your own adventure" bandwagon, China declaring

The mold that just won't shift of science and technology podcasts returns for another episode, so welcome to the latest edition of The Geek Show! Kicking things off this week is Google's announcement of their new video games streaming platform called Stadia - which may or may not be a game-changer (pardon the pun). In other news, a Spanish poll suggests that people would rather vote for an artificial intelligence rather than a human politician, a Japanese tech start-up claims they've created a

We're back for another edition of the scratch and sniff podcast of science and technology news that is The Geek Show! Kicking things off this week, we have an update on the seemingly ongoing saga about Britain's National Health Service and fax machines. After that we bid a fond farewell to NASA's Opportunity Rover - which has finally deactivated and thus ended its mission on Mars after 14 years - before we take a look at the continued attempts to clean up the junk in the Earth’s orbit.

If you thought Furbies were creepy, then wait till you meet the Ulo Owls as we kick off a new year, a new series of The Geek Show, and at some point during 2019 our 9th birthday (crazy isn't it?), with a look at some of the stranger devices being showcased at this year's Consumer Electronics Show. In other news there's a company that will examine dog poop in order to find the culprit of random befoulments, why you should eat clay, a Russian company that wants to advertise in low earth orbit, a

2018/12/20

It's the final episode of 2018 and The Geek Show is going for a well-deserved break from all of the weird science, technology and "other" news that we've found this year. Before we head off though, Rob and Producer Rob have the small matter of one last show … This time we're kicking off with some big trailer news as the first teaser for Avengers: Endgame finally appeared - and immediately spawned numerous semi-comical tweets and messages to NASA begging them to somehow save Tony Stark.

The Geek Show rolls back into town for another turn on the "Suck It And See" roller-coaster of science and technology news, and this week it's Rob who joins Producer Rob for afternoon tea and ridiculousness. So what's in store this week? Well, Elon Musk wants Mexico to let him sell Teslaquila, raccoons got drunk on apple, Facebook want local people for local news, Instagram wants to help with your holiday, new research about allergies (involving pacifiers), the Pinnochio effect in reverse,

How's that for a title? It's time for another peep through the keyhole of science and technology news with The Geek Show, and this week Graham joins Producer Rob for some tasty morsels of the weird and strange. Kicking things off is the rather serious news that humans are already eating microplastics - but the method of discovery is somewhat … gross. After that we discover that Elon Musk plans to make his own suburban "batcave", the meaning of #protestNIPS, a Japanese company that rewards its

The strange alleys and weird streets of science and technology news need strong men to patrol them, but since they all have the day off it’s time for Andrew and Producer Rob to surreptitiously skulk around. Skulk is such a good word, isn’t it? Anyway, this week’s discoveries include a new internet by Sir Tim Berners-Lee, easyJet versus Netflix, a newly discovered dinosaur with an amazing name, lessons in food presentation for Instagram, super and psychic powers, the Japanese Ro-Bob the Builder

Anyway, Rob joins Producer Rob for another jaunt through the strange hinterlands of science, technology, culture and society where oddities tower like … well … very odd things really … Kicking things off this week, we find out the unfortunate name of a growing trend that involves watching people studying on a livestream - a story that we discovered back in S15E23.
