The Unique Geek

I get so excited when this podcast starts because it means Dragon Con is coming soon. Lots of great information from funny, likeable hosts.

I really want to like this podcast and have listened to 5 or 6 episodes to give it a fair shot. The content is great, but Leigh is challenging to listen to. The constant interrupting and trying to one-up guests with her own experiences or opinions just rubs me the wrong way. I’d love to hear guests share more about their role, track, group, etc vs. her derailing the episode to talk about her own experiences and interests. The rooms episode was a lot of complaining. The newbies episode was borderline condescending with her constant need to have the last word on whatever information the guest was sharing. I know more now about the media that Leigh likes than what the High Fantasy Track is and the variety of programming it has to offer. If you can tune her out and just listen to the guests this podcast covers great content and I’d highly recommend. Sadly, I will be seeking other Dragon Con podcasts because this one is more know-it-all than knowledge sharing.

Every year starting in July, begins the ultimate countdown. The 50 days till dragoncon! Almost every day we get a taste of reminder of what to expect at dragoncon with guests and funny stories.

I listen to these folks every year for their 50 days of DragonCon podcast. I am giving them 5 stars because I know it must be a ton of work to arrange all those guests and put the time into doing the episodes and editing them and posting them in such a fast fashion. It's also just fun to listen to as the hosts are a joy. I would hope they could increase the audio quality of Leigh, as she is on every show and it would help a lot if her audio was normalized at least, or get her a proper mic! Also, it seems that there is zero content for Unique Geek for the rest of the year, which is a shame. But overall, still 5 stars because the 50 days of dragoncon podcast is awsome :)
