  7. That Geek Podcast Episodes 11-12

    If I had a time machine I could go back and post this episode on time. Sadly, I don't have the power to manipulate that wobbly wobbly... time-y wimey... stuff, but it's a double episode so that should count for something (I hope). We have Andy, Randy, Sylvie and Stephanie talking about time…

  8. That Geek Podcast Episode 13

    Yes, we skipped Episodes 11 and 12, they're forthcoming. Why?

  28. The Spinward Fringe Podcast Broadcast 18

    In this broadcast I tie things up by discussing my love of entertaining people.
