The Geek Show returns once again to dip its toes in pop culture, science and technology news, and as usual things take a turn for the weird. The big story this week is the Sony-Marvel divorce - which basically means no more Spider-Man in the MCU after the current plans are finished. After that we discover a potential fourth Matrix movie, using goats to prevent forest fires, fossils of comically large birds in New Zealand, Youtube actually admitting to a mistake, robotic exo-shorts, autonomous self-riding bicycles, possibly radioactive vodka, and a story that proves that while the British are just as weird as the rest of the world.

After a short break between episodes (on account of one of the hosts moving house), The Geek Show returns for our regular, bi-monthly look at the weird and crusty outer layer of science and technology news with a podcasting taste that really shouldn't be licked. Like that trailer for Cats. Yikes .... Anyway, anthropomorphism seems to be the order of the day as a collaboration of international scientists in China claim to have created hybridised monkey-human embryos, while the Japanese Science Ministry is all for the creation of "humanimals" ... we won't get into that particular discussion though. In other news, McDonald's new environmentally-friendly paper straws are apparently not recyclable at the moment, Ebay have filed a lawsuit against Amazon for trying to steal sellers, mobile phone company Vivo is touting an all-screen smartphone, a UK data science company has developed a new AI program for bars and pubs, a woman was arrested for making counterfeit money on an inkjet printer, a man in Siberia is suing a psychic firm for failing to bring back his estranged wife, researchers in Japan have created a wearable quasi-prehensile tail for humans, and a Malaysian goat has become gone viral because it looks like a K-Pop star. There's lots of fun for all the family on this episode of The Geek Show. Thanks for listening and don't forget to give us a rating wherever you get your podcasts and give us a follow on Twitter while you are at it.

We've been away for a little while because of E3 (check out our coverage on our YouTube channel, and don't forget to subscribe while you are there), but we won't dwell on that because things other than video games have been happening in the world. So, kicking things off this week is the reaction of Marvel fans to the company's mysterious Twitter countdown and subsequent reveal, before we move on to a gang used the identity of a French minister to steal $90 million in a Mission Impossible-style scam. In other news, Facebook are launching a digital currency, Huawei apparently have their own operating system already in development, a Japanese technology company have created a virtual male "influencer", a Norwegian city wants to do away with time, a new start-up wants pogo sticks to be the new mode of transport, a Brazilian pet shop chain has created facial recognition for dogs, Dutch police have are offering samples of a special perfume to the public in an effort to fight crime, and a Japanese clothing company has developed a t-shirt with inflatable muscles to be worn under other clothes. That's your lot for this episode. We'll see you all next time on The Geek Show! If you like the podcast, send us some support by throwing us a few pounds a month on PATREON .

After a slightly extended break the weirdly funny stain on the wallpaper of technology and science news podcasts returns to deface your walls.

The Internet's goofiest science and technology podcast returns with the two Robs (or is it Rob and Bruce P. Gigabyte?), taking another little stroll on the wilder and sometimes wackier side of the news. This week we're kicking things off with the big astronomy news, which is the first real "photograph" of an actual black hole! After that things get a bit more technical with plans for an independent internet watchdog, YouTube jumping on the "chose your own adventure" bandwagon, China declaring "war" on the mining of crypto-currencies for environmental reasons, the discovery of a new dinosaur, Russian Game of Thrones experiments, a rather wonderful report from the Russian Ministry of Defence, Elon Musk's rap song and and more ...

The mold that just won't shift of science and technology podcasts returns for another episode, so welcome to the latest edition of The Geek Show! Kicking things off this week is Google's announcement of their new video games streaming platform called Stadia - which may or may not be a game-changer (pardon the pun). In other news, a Spanish poll suggests that people would rather vote for an artificial intelligence rather than a human politician, a Japanese tech start-up claims they've created a "Minority Report"-style A.I. (for real), it's apparently very easy to fool artificial intelligence, new research suggests that the human brain is able to respond to the earth’s magnetic field, Netflix plan more chose your own adventure content, a university professor in China gave his students a controversial social media test, a religion founded by a taxi driver in the 1950s claims to have prevented several global calamities, and finally, a Japanese company created a device to ... well ... just listen and you'll find out. So until next time ... the truth is out there (but you'll probably be shocked and appalled when you find out what it is).

We're back for another edition of the scratch and sniff podcast of science and technology news that is The Geek Show! Kicking things off this week, we have an update on the seemingly ongoing saga about Britain's National Health Service and fax machines. After that we bid a fond farewell to NASA's Opportunity Rover - which has finally deactivated and thus ended its mission on Mars after 14 years - before we take a look at the continued attempts to clean up the junk in the Earth’s orbit. In other news, OpenAI reveal a text generator that they deem "too dangerous" for release, YouTube is being blamed for the rise in the number of people who believe the world is flat, Project Deep Squeak could give us some insight into the thoughts of rodents, there's an app for dating among cows and bulls, and yet another Japanese company has embarked on some weird escapades.

Max and The Geek Show are friends! The Robs return dip their toes into the paddling pool of science, technology and geek news to bring you the tastiest nougat (because juiciest nuggets just sounds wrong), and first up this week is the new trailer for TV series spinoff of Taika Waititi's vampire mockumentary What We Do In The Shadows. There's also big things happening in science as a team of researchers has found a way to vocalise brainwaves - a breakthrough that could give immense hope to people who are unable to talk. In other news, it's possible to send secret audio messages with lasers, Facebook are rolling out the ability to "unsend" messages, a spiky new dinosaur has been discovered, a battery manufacturer is about to release some phones, a new dating app promises perfect partners through DNA matches, a treadmill for cats (you read that right), and the Thought Box.
