Episode 97 of The Geek Saga Podcast is the second episode in my new “Impulsive Hyperfocus” series, in which I’ll pick a different subject for each episode – one that I can connect to personal experiences I’ve had – and, well, try to stay on topic as I rant and/or ramble about it for a while!

I gave my friends a list of three topics I was thinking about covering in this second “Impulsive Hyperfocus” episode and, kind of surprisingly, they chose CEREAL! So here’s me rambling on about my love for cereal – going through cereal phases, discontinued cereals I may or may not miss, and more!

Episode 95 of The Geek Saga Podcast is my very first solo podcast and the first episode in my new “Impulsive Hyperfocus” series, in which I’ll pick a different subject for each episode – one that I can connect to personal experiences I’ve had – and, well, try to stay on topic as I rant and/or ramble about it for a while!

The timing of my deciding to try my hand at a shorter-form solo podcast series aligned perfectly with my younger step kid’s high school graduation, so this episode features a comparison between that and my own high school graduation.

The Geek Saga Podcast Episode 90: When Fandom Goes Too Far Part 2 – The #StopToxicFandom Movement

geek saga podcast #stoptoxicfandom

Episode 90 of The Geek Saga Podcast originally aired as a live webcast, “When Fandom Goes Too Far Part 2: The #StopToxicFandom Movement” on December 30th, 2023.

GEEK SAGA PODCAST ON SPOTIFY

Join myself and special guests Paul Jenkins, Mary Anne Butler, and Bill Watters as we discuss the #StopToxicFandom movement, featuring an in-depth look at our experiences with “The Axanar Problem”, a toxic situation that has run rampant in the Star Trek fandom for far too long.

A note on this episode’s length: The live webcast from which this audio was pulled ran approximately 3 hours, 10 minutes. While this podcast version is approximately 27 minutes shorter, I did not remove anything that was imperative to the discussion. With one minor exception (a portion of a sentence that I spoke *about myself* between approximately the 2:44:20-2:44:35 mark in the webcast), the only things removed from the original recording were pauses/periods of silence punctuated by unnecessary words (‘umm’, ‘like’, ‘right’, ‘you know’). Therefore, this episode is a lot more raw than most of my recent podcast episodes. Apologies to my regular listeners for that, but I knew that if I cut out anything other than what I listed above, I would likely be subject to accusations of trying to hide/erase “bad things that were said” (or some other such nonsense phrasing along those lines).

Additionally, I would like to give a trigger warning for a brief mention of SA, which takes place between the 2:16-2:23 time stamps in this podcast episode.
