Geeks in a Pod is a fun and, occasionally, contentious new podcast where we debate and discuss a wide variety of pop culture related topics. What are the best films of the past decade? Are video game subscriptions worth it? What is the best streaming service out there for you? These are just some of the enjoyable and diverse conversations we are going to have week after week. So join us, for all are welcome to this very.... not so serious, but sometimes hilarious... journey through geekdom.
