A podcast full of random topics I love to listen to each week.
Apple Podcasts5MovieRevoltUnited States12 years ago - Going Down Hill
I used to enjoy this podcast for the most part. But over the last month or so it has gone steadily down hill. I feel like I am listening to a phone conversation of two people who are distracted by other things they find more important. The hosts (one of the original ones appeared to leave) try to open conversation but they are not able to construct full ideas very often. Maybe if they were more prepared it would lead to a better podcast. It seems like they just throw ideas out there to see what ... more
Apple Podcasts2Nathanial DayUnited States12 years ago - Get your Geek On
Another witty banter of Geekness with Steve "Megatron" Phillips, and TFGI Mike. It's like the shuffle option on your MP3 Player. Great conversations, great cast all around. Wonderful addition to the GCRN.
Apple Podcasts5Hunnic OutcastUnited States12 years ago - Various Topics and Great Discussions
This show was recommended to me and I quickly found that it was a good recommendation. GCRN provides some great shows that have insightful guests and thoughtful discussions, so it’s no surprise that Altered Geek would be any different. However, Altered Geek is different in that the topics vary. You get a dose of geek culture, comics, movies, TV, tech, and other off-the-cuff topics. You’ll feel like you’re sitting at the table with a couple of friends just having a chat, and you’ll want to join i... more
