Episode 039: Time travel for the post-post-post modern geek!
08/04/2014They say that tangents are an occupational hazard when traveling through time, and boy if that's not what we did. I think we hit a new record for number of times getting off-topic, all while(strangely enough) seeming like we were staying ON topic. Just another example of a time travel paradox? You be the judge, check it out here. Disclaimer 1:Be forewarned, we both ranted and rambled(mostly Strat) but we assure it's engaging as all get out. Disclaimer 2: There are tons of spoilers for TV shows, movies and other things, so don't say we didn't warn you. As always, we can be reached at geeksexplainitall@gmail.com or feedback@geeksexplainitall.com Our topic for next time will be the much anticipated Silver Age of DC show!!!!

21/03/2014As the song says, it's been a long cold lonely winter! We are still fighting to bring you episodes of(we're assuming) your favorite podcast(s)! This time around we discuss one of our favorite actors, Bill Murray. We also manage to fit about five other topics in, and of course, plenty of fun sound clips! Check it out here. If you have comments, questions, complaints, etc., please feel free to contact us at geeksexplainitall@gmail.com or feedback@geeksexplainitall.com.

Episode 037:The Slow Heat Death Of Saturday Morning, Or 80's Cartoons!
19/02/2014Okay, you caught me, I know I said last time we were going to talk about about Bill Murray. What can I say, D-Dub's and my brains are so frozen, we're lucky we can remember where either one of us live, much less what we're talking about next week! Anyhoo, we are having a discussion this time around of cartoons from our favorite decade, the 80's! Turns out for the most part we prefer the music of the decade, but we still had a few interesting points to make. You can catch it here. Lots of great sound clips and theme songs in this one, so sit back and enjoy. Or stand. No pressure. If you have a comment or question about this or any other episode please contact us at geeksexplainitall@gmail.com or feedback@geeksexplainitall.com Next time we will be discussing the career and films of Bill Murray.

Episode 007: Underrated, keep it all out of sight...
03/08/2013 Duration: 01h07minWell, the brand-spankin new Ep. of GEIA is up, and I gotta say, it's almost getting to be too easy! We had tons of fun both preparing and recording this one. Part of it, no doubt is from knowing we actually have people listening to this podcast. We'll keep going as long as it's fun, and knowing we have actual fans makes it lotsa fun! Anywho, this episode has(as usual) a fascinating subject: who are the three most underrated guitarists of all time? Our answers will surprise and delight you, I'm sure.(They may infuriate you, on the other hand. Let us know!) We definitely had differing opinions but we made great arguments for our choices, and at the end of it all, inspired each other to check out some new stuff. You can listen to the new show here. Our show next time will be an intriguing one(as they all are): our thoughts on how to reboot the Star Trek TV franchise. As always, feedback is encouraged, welcomed, and appreciated.

Episode 008:The Obligatory Star Trek Episode(You knew it would happen eventually)
03/08/2013So it's come to this:Anyone that knows ANYTHING about D-Dub and Stratosphear knows that we are Trekkers from WAY back. So why did we wait until the 8th episode to discuss it? Well, good things are worth waiitng for, and this episode is definitely a good thing. We have an in-depth discussion of the history of the franchise, along with our ideas for a possible reboot of the TV franchise(since the movie reboot did phenomenally well).

03/08/2013Well, kids, sorry for the delay, but going to Comic-con was a huge thing, and took up a lot of time, but it was SOOOO worth it. But fear not, True Believers, for I have emerged from this experience with a Very Special Episode of GEIA(no, this is not Blossom). Yes, it's the First Annual Geek Roundtable show! Our special guests include members of the Great Lake Guardians, the greatest superhero team you never heard of! We cover a multitude of subjects, some of which included Convention etiquette, William Shatner and making the Blue Lotus laugh!

Get out your skinny ties and mini-skirts, 'cause we're gonna talk about New Wave and other important musical stuff from the so-called "Decade of Greed". Got some 80's stuff you want discussed?

Episode 011: Don't look now but here come the '80's!
03/08/2013 Duration: 01h08minWell, kids, FINALLY a new episode of GEIA is up for your listening perusal. The topic this time around is the music of the 80's! The only thing that was less than completely awesome about this episode is that we didn't have near enough time to get into all the discussions we would have liked to. I would like to go on record as saying we will definitely have a sequel sometime in the future, because we had a blast reliving this music. You can listen to our modest brilliance here. Our topic for next time will be Universal Horror films of the 30's and 40's; got a fave you want discussed? contact us at geeksexplainitall@gmail.com As always, like us on Facebook.
