Geekspeak Season 15, Episode 3: The Lemony, Limeiny Taste of Science
This week on Geekspeak, we welcome Phil Edwards, noted practitioner of fake science at the Fake Science blog, on to chat about his new book, Fake Science 101. You may be noticing a pattern here.
But that's not all, dear listener! We also talk about the legal ramifications of cell phone tracking - should it be protected by the Fourth Amendment? We also then sort of talk about whether Facebook Likes should be considered protected speech but really instead we decide to talk about David Cronenberg's mess-talking about superhero films.
So really, it's a pretty full and hearty show, suitable for any meal in the day. Download it, you might (not) learn something.

Korra-nt Affairs, Episode 1: "The Aftermath"
This summer, Nickelodeon has been airing probably one of the finest animated programs in years in The Legend of Korra, a worthy follow-up to the beloved classic Avatar: The Last Airbender with a cast of amazingly-realized characters, thought-provoking story, and gorgeous cinematography. So what to do when faced with a show of such quality? I'm not sure but it's probably not what Bryan Carr, Steve Watts, and Nick Hurwitch did in this, the first episode of the new Geekspeak summer series "Korra-nt Affairs". Every week, join these three knuckleheads as they dissect the show, bringing you theories, commentary, and more. This week, the boys talk about "Aftermath", the seventh episode of the first season and what it means for the identity of mysterious Big Bad Amon, the romantic implications our heroine will have to deal with, and also how awesome it was when those guys fought those guys. Download the first episode by clicking here.

Geekspeak Supplemental #16: We'll Damn Sure Avenge It
This week, long-time friend of Geekspeak Brian Swafford stops by to chat with Bryan about Marvel's superhero magnum opus The Avengers, which Bryan already reviewed for some Web site if you want to read that while you listen. Find out if this movie was worth the time, money, and...you know what? No pretense. We basically spend 90 minutes talking about how awesome it was and why it was so awesome. So if you like talking about awesome things, you'll like this. But make sure you only listen AFTER you've seen the movie because SPOILERS ARE PLENTIFUL AND WE BASICALLY RUIN MOST OF THE MOVIE. With that caveat out of the way, hear two guys take an overly academic approach to a movie about dudes in tights by clicking here.

This week, we welcome Phil Hornshaw and Nick Hurwitch, the authors of the new book So You Created a Wormhole: The Time Traveler's Guide to Time Travel to the unnecessarily tense, discomforting shores of Geekspeak country.

Geekspeak Season 14, Episode 8: Four Magic Elves
This week on Geekspeak, it's Bryan, Lindsey, Frank, and Justin talkin' about the stuff you want to talk about. That guy up there? That's apparently the figurehead of the Lulzsec hacker movement, and the FBI flipped him to their side. We'll talk about that. Could the recent Metacritic sabotage of Mass Effect 3 be symptomatic of a larger wave of jerkery? That too is in the show. And by law, we also have to talk about the iPad HD. See? Lots of talkin' about stuff! So get to the downloading.
