With Kielen out with the Hillsboro Blues, Scott Dally steps up as show engineer and shows why he’s famous and you’re not! In this issue, Dan takes his first step in admitting Skyrim Addiction, which leads into a talk about just why Sports Geeks and Geek Geeks really aren’t that different… Even if both sides wish it wasn’t true. Then, Aaron and Scott talk about the newest film from Troma Entertainment – Father’s Day. Next, Aaron reviews the latest DC Animation DVD, Justice League: Doom. Finally, Aaron asks Scott and Dan their thoughts on creator self-censorship and if Aaron made the right call in issue 3 of La Brujeria (coming soon). All that, and tales of Dan’s made hunting skills. Really.

From there is just gets weirder as we’re joined by Merrick Monroe of Sequential Art Gallery to talk about 1st Thursday in Portland and their featured artist, Carolyn Main, also in studio! All that, plus Scott feels guilty for invoking Black History Month with this weeks Fun with Race from Kielen King. Oh, and Dan Clark interviews Alan Moore’s Beard. Honest. Really, could it happen on any other show?

This one is indeed over two and a half hours long. So much gold in this issue. Kielen gets in his expected taunting of Scott Dally and the Blazers. Dan tells tales of the 2012 West Coast Beard & Mustache Championship. Plus, a quick talk about the Oscar picks that evolves into a conversation of music and moving on. Then, Aaron has the honor of talking with Paul Guinan and Anina Bennett about their newest work – Frank Reade: Adventures in the Age of Invention. Finally, Rick Emerson pays the guys a visit as they take a trip into the past with tales of first meetings and FCC fining. A big show. A great show.

A special issue as we team-up with the ladies of Patioh-Patino at the yummy Random Order Bakery & Bar ( 1800 NE Alberta St). The show is like a high school dance. Lots of awkward comments and leaning against the wall in the beginning… To full blown boys and girls insanity at the end. Conversations about dating, deal-breakers, and why the ladies need to just lay their cards on the table when hitting on Geeks. All that, and tales of Dan and Kielen’s adventures in Centralia at the Ocracoke Pirate Fest. Thanks all for listening. Don’t forget – February 4th from 8pm to 8am – The Jupiter Hotel Presents the Geek in the City Marathon of Pain!

What gives you slackers?!

What gives is, we had to do some digital housecleaning. Which is good, because it gave us all kinds of room for new and awesome shows. The bad? Well, it killed our old RSS feed. (That’s the thing that makes podcasts just appear in your iTunes or other audio player).

Thankfully, it’s freakishly easy to remedy this problem and get us back in your ear holes.

Open iTunes. Click on the “Advanced” tab. Click on “Subscribe to Podcast”. Copy / Paste this bit of url below:

http://feeds.feedburner.com/geekinthecity/nOVz

Hit “Ok” and you are good to go!

If you don’t have iTunes, I’m sure your personal podcast player has something similar, do the same there.

Thanks again. Sorry for any confusion or loss of glory this may have caused you. Now, on with the show.

Number 143 is one of those Damn Fine Issues. After Kielen schools Aaron for still not playing more than 15 minutes of Modern Warfare 3, Dan delves deep into Diablo 3 as Scott and Aaron ask why the game has such a following. Then, Scott and Kielen regret asking Aaron just what the changes in D&D 5th Edition will mean to gamer and noobs. Also, Scott feels lamentations and hope over his Portland Trailblazers (yes, they’re Scott’s). Next, a heartfelt and sincere look back and thanks to Rick Emerson as he winds down to his final broadcast. Finally, a special installment of Fun With Race inspired by George Lucas, Red Tails, and ignorant jack-asses. Like I said, good show this week.

Don’t forget – Saturday February 4 – The Jupiter Hotel proudly presents the Geek in the City Radio Telethon of Pain – 8pm to 8am – Live!

We kick off the year with a review of Ed Brubaker’s newest comic Fatale in Pulling From Aaron’s Box. Then, a geeky preview from Dan, Scott, Kielen, Kaebel, & Aaron of what to expect in 2012 from movies, television, comics, music, and games. Then Kaebel Hashitani brings you the first, um, 1st Thursday of the year in Portland. Finally, a double-whammy Fun With Race as Sarah X Dylan asks Kielen the hard-hitting questions. All that, plus NBA trash talking and a reminder that only LeVar Burton can call himself Kunta.

As the year winds down, the crew at Geek in the City Radio took a much needed vacation / in-service day to rest and plan the epic for 2012.

Personally, as I look back on the year and go through older projects, I keep coming back to The Adventures of the Crimson Mist. I know A.Z. got all the glory and headlines, but for me, it was Crimson Mist that stole my heart. My love for the pulp genre of superhero storytelling is well known and these 3 episodes were my attempt to emulate this era of high adventure.

If the day ever comes where we return to these audio dramas, it is Crimson Mist that will pull at me the hardest. (Sorry zombie fans).

My deepest thanks to everyone involved in these grand adventures. The list is too long. Thankfully, each episode ends in an all-new corrected credit sequence! (Hey, it was live radio, things happen).

Thanks again and I hope you enjoy these shows. And, if any of you Dark Horse Comics or Oni Press listeners are turning in (and I know you are), you know you need some good old fashioned two-fisted hometown pulp tales. Drop us a line. We’re ready to roll!
