The feed didn’t seem to pick it up right, so here’s another post with just the link in it. Things should be working properly now.

Download Geekspeak Episode 24: The New York Comic Con

Hey ladies and gentlemen! Well, I held off on the Sunday release after I realized just how much material I really had recorded from the con, and figured it would be best to simply release it as Episode 24. And that is what I am doing! Also, there’s a lot more stuff I’m going to discuss after I get done putting down what to expect on this week’s episode. This episode was recorded over a three day span at the New York Comic Con on February 24th-26th, 2006. Here’s the run down for you all:

• Day 1 begins!
• Interview with Bryan Deemer of Comic Geek Speak.
• Interview with Mike Norton, artist on Gravity, Teen Titans Go!, Marvel Adventures Spider-Man, and more.
• Day 1 Wrap-Up.
• Day 2 underway, and the place is nuts!
• Interview with Paul Levitz of DC Comics, currently writer of JSA’s One Year Later arc.
• Interview with Dallas Middaugh of Del Rey Manga.
• Day 2 winds down.
• Interview with Chris Staros, publisher of Top Shelf Productions.
• Interview with Jesse Bousch, writer of Strange Detective Tales: Dead Love at Oddgod Press.
• Day 3 is over, and so is the con.
• The Wind Up: The Olympics are done. FINALLY.

This episode was a lot of fun to put together, mostly because the convention was so damn fun! Along with the interviews, I was also lucky enough to get wonderful sketckes from Daniel Acuna, Jesus Saiz, and the wonderful Todd Nauck. I now share these with you:

Todd Nauck

I’ll also be posting some random pictures from the con once the pictures get developed. This episode and the next two I release are all part of the big Episode 25 celebration for Geekspeak! On Sunday, I will be releasing my interview with Scott Melzer, Matthew Pyson, and Jon Miller of the Anime fan parodies “This is Otakudom” and “S.T.E.A.M.” as a Special Edition of Geekspeak, and Tuesday we will be releasing the Showcase Spotlight on American Animation, which will be Episode 25. Then Thursday we’re back to normal with a regular Episode 26. I hope that you folks enjoy these episodes, as I’m glad to be putting them out for sure!

You can send your e-mails to speakgeekspeak@gmail.com, you can check out the forums if you’d like, and don’t forget Podcast Alley, as it is a brand new month over there.

Until Sunday, take care, and thanks for being the great listeners you are all.

Hey people! Time for some full Geekspeak action after yesterday’s short little blurb. As you will hear, I added a message before the episode that is a cry for help for people who know Skype and Gizmo. Anyone who does know about either of these and has experienced the problem I mention in the preview, let me know and maybe we can work together to fix this stuff. This episode of Geekspeak was recorded on Thursday, February 23rd, 2006 at the Brooklyn College Radio Studio. Topics discussed include:

• A worm on OSX? TWO WORMS on OSX? Le gasp!
• News on the upcoming Showcase Spotlight on American Animation.
• Chicago goes W-Fi. Will other cities follow? Should they?
• An Amish Wiretapper. Seriously. No joke. I swear. For real. No kidding.
• A new PSP/iPod killer arrives on the scene. What’s the deal with the Viliv PI?
• Star Trek Online is coming. Engage!
• The Comic Book Rant: What’s the deal with all these restarts on ongoing titles?
• The Wind Up: The Knicks make another sucky suck suck move. What a shock.

For those of you who will be attending the New York Comic-Con, make sure to give me an e-mail if you want to meet up somewhere along the line. The more the merrier I always say! And once again, expect a Comic-Con wrap-up show Sunday night. You can send all e-mails to speakgeekspeak@gmail.com, and Podcast Alley awaits your vote. No lie! It told me so I swear. And don’t forget about those forums either.

Until Sunday, hope everyone has a wonderful weekend, and I’ll talk to you soon! And of course, thanks as always for downloading.

Hey folks! Here’s a quick five minute recording I just finished from my home with my brand new set-up, which focuses upon the Blue Snowball USB Condenser microphone!

Expect plenty of full episodes to come from my house from now on, beginning with a New York Comic-Con wrap-up on Sunday night.

Anyway, that’s really all I’ve got, so until a few hours from now, Enjoy!

You grab the cake I’ll pass the plates around, the birthday episode of Geekspeak is here! Episode 22 was a lot of fun to put together, mostly because I was hyper on Pepsi at the time, so I had a whole bunch of energy in me. Wheeee! This episode was recorded on Thursday, February 16th, 2006, at the Brooklyn College Radio studio. Topics discussed include:

• Bush passes the DTV Law. What will this do to your TV watching?

• Retro Hack Review: Mario Adventure for the NES Emulator. Here’s my favorite NES Emulator to play said hack, the FCEUltra.

Hey all. Episode 21 is nice and finished, and it’s ready to be released. Want it? If you do, that’s cool and all. This episode of Geekspeak was recorded on Thursday, February 9th, 2006 at the Brooklyn College Radio Studio. Topics discussed include:

• Popular software with lax security, including AIM and Adobe products! Looks like Trillian or GAIM might be the place to turn now more than ever.
• RIP Robo doggie. We hardly knew ye.
• Myspace: The Movie is the funniest thing since funny. And it’s oddly close to truth too…

• The new Super Mario Bros. DS game approaches, and I am salvating already.

I do my best work at the last possible second, so I hope everybody enjoys this particular episode a whole lot. As always, you can e-mail comments and questions and hate mail to speakgeekspeak@gmail.com, and Podcast Alley is a good place to vote for Geekspeak. Really, it is! You should try it.

Hey all. Well, the new semester has begun, and with the new semester comes a new Geekspeak! Near the end of the show I was lucky enough to be joined by my buddy Bryan, who might be making more appearances on the show in the next couple of weeks, but we shall see. This epsidoe was recorded at the Brooklyn College Radio Studio on Thursday, January 26th, 2006. Topics discussed include:

• Symantec stoops to Sony’s level, while the Zone Alarm Suite might not be sending data back to headquarters. Oh what a web we weave…
• An e-mail from Sean Webb from about previous Geekspeak episodes and where to find them. All episodes not on itunes can be found at the Geekspeak home page.
• Star Trek: New Voyages is going where no fan has gone before…finishing the original five year mission!
• WB + UPN = CW. Will it work?
• Move over Nintendo DS, here comes the sleaker, more compact DS Lite!
• We’ve heard nothing from the PS3 camp lately. Is it even close to finished? Kotaku says to expect it by the holiday season of 2006. Will that be too late to combat the combined efforts of the Revolution and the 360?
• Spider-Man 3 will have a familiar face! Good idea, bad idea, or eh idea?
• The Wind Up: Kobe Bryant’s amazing performance, and of course, Superbowl picks!

I’m sure you’re all as glad as I am to have a Geekspeak back in the studio, and you should expect this to be the norm for many episodes to come. I’m alos working on getting a better microphone for home recording to make the transition between studio and bedroom a bit easier in the future.

Also, you can hear me on the latest episode of Comic Geek Speak, which is their giant Episode 100 celebration! And there’s even a video that you can get through their itunes feed that has me in it, for those of you who want to know what i look like (on a bad hair day).

Remember to send all your questions and comments to speakgeekspeak@gmail.com, and you can head to the forums if you so desire. And remember, Podcast Alley voting is only a click away and all. 😉

Thanks again to Bryan for joining me near the end there, enjoy the happy bloopers, and until next time, thanks for downloading!

We discuss my Panasonic 42″ Plasma TV, my new HP vs17 LCD monitor, and Underworld: Evolution on this episode. E-mails go to speakgeekspeak@gmail.com, and I live in a giant bucket. Enjoy!
