The Geek Show

Since beginning in 2010, The Geek Show has gone through more form changes than the final boss of an RPG, and this very podcast is the grandpappy of a number of podcasts and YouTube shows like 4-Panel, Cinema Eclectica, KeyFrame, Impossible Mission, Pop Screen, Uncut, and a whole lot more.

    S16 Ep11: S16E11 - Non-Denominational K-Pop Stars

    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 Ministry is all for the creation of "humanimals" ... we won't get into that particular discussion though. In other news, McDonald's new environmentally-friendly paper straws are apparently not recyclable at the moment, Ebay have filed a lawsuit against Amazon for trying to steal sellers, mobile phone company Vivo is touting an all-screen smartphone, a UK data science company has developed a new AI program for bars and pubs, a woman was arrested for making counterfeit money on an inkjet printer, a man in Siberia is suing a psychic firm for failing to bring back his estranged wife, researchers in Japan have created a wearable quasi-prehensile tail for humans, and a Malaysian goat has become gone viral because it looks like a K-Pop star. There's lots of fun for all the family on this episode of The Geek Show. Thanks for listening and don't forget to give us a rating wherever you get your podcasts and give us a follow on Twitter while you are at it.

    S16 Ep9: S16E09 - Stegosaurus Mike or Go Home

    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 scam. In other news, Facebook are launching a digital currency, Huawei apparently have their own operating system already in development, a Japanese technology company have created a virtual male "influencer", a Norwegian city wants to do away with time, a new start-up wants pogo sticks to be the new mode of transport, a Brazilian pet shop chain has created facial recognition for dogs, Dutch police have are offering samples of a special perfume to the public in an effort to fight crime, and a Japanese clothing company has developed a t-shirt with inflatable muscles to be worn under other clothes. That's your lot for this episode. We'll see you all next time on The Geek Show! If you like the podcast, send us some support by throwing us a few pounds a month on PATREON.
