Awesome show! I especially love whenever they talk about sci-fi from the 50s, 60s, and 70s. You all are fantastic.
Occasionally interesting, mostly insufferable

If you are a science fiction fan, when you glance over the content for Geek’s Guide, it looks really promising. But then you listen to it…. The host, whose droning voice sounds like it’s AI generated, and guests generally proceed to ridicule anything that wasn’t written or filmed in the 21st century & are condescending. It’s a real turn off if you’re over the age of say…. 25, even though these folks are well past that age. You’re not impressing anyone, guys. Did I mention the Host’s voice is robotic & annoying? Avoid.
Great podcast!

Great execution, coupled with a wide variety of guests and topics, make this a wonderful podcast. Not every topic hits home for me, but that’s to be expected. Thank you all for a great contribution!
Going strong and still full of surprises

The most recent episode reminded me why I get excited to hear the interviews on GGTTG. I could probably have found out a lot of it after some searching and reading a lot, but I didn't know there was so much reason to go do those rabbit holes.
