Editing Ep. 29: Macking for Geeks Part 2: Geek Harder

 

We just recorded a great episode where a bunch of our listeners called in sharing
their stories, questions and advice on geek love. Thanks to them, we had a
great time.

We’re going to be editing it this weekend, so that when Valentine’s Day rolls around
you have a lil’ somethin’ somethin’ to listen to while you cozy up together with your geeky dates.

…Don’t worry, it’s not Ghostbusters 2. We swear it’s better. Plus, no Yanoosh.

Thanks again to our listeners for calling in and making this record such a good time!

Do you love big hair and shoulder pads? Or is flannel and ripped jeans more your style?

In this episode we pit our two favorite decades against each other in four categories- Audio, Visual, Playable, and Overall. Who will you root for?

There can only be one!

NOTE: Thanks to Steve Spears of the Stuck in the ’80s podcast.

Recording episode 27 – Media Overload

 

mnemonic

Let’s try this again…

This Thursday, we will be recording episode 27 of the New York Geekcast, “Media Overload”.

We’ll be discussing how there’s way too many games, movies, shows, books, and albums that we’re trying to find time to play, watch, watch, read, and listen to. That is, if we can decide which of the dozens of multimedia players out there we want to consume this media on.

If you’ve got questions or other remarks on this episode, either leave us a comment on this post or shoot an e-mail to thegeeks@nygeekcast.com. Or find us on Facebook and Twitter. Thanks!
