GS - Episode 100
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 49 minutes and 29 secondsIt's episode 100 baby! that's right finally it's here. In true EPOCH fashion they make a last ditch attempt to ruin things. We had quite a bit of distortion on the episode which needed to be edited out hence the slight delay getting this episode out (curse you EPOCH!).
In this special, feature length, episode we are both in the same location drinking a lot of whisky(surpirse) while trying to put the geek world to rights.
Look out for drunken reviews of Smallville(I know!), Quantum of Solace, Sleeper, Echo, Rock Night and more.
In our main (which we did announce but was so distorted we had to edit it out...sorry) feature we answer a bucket load of questions sent to us by you guys.
Enjoy and thanks for listening and supporting Geek Syndicate!!!

Comic Racks Episode 23 - BICS a-go-go
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 21 minutes and 0 secondsWelcome to Episode 23, where Comic Racks will engage you with tales of squidgy fingers, job-miffs, and podcast-theivery...and then actually get on with the episode itself.
This week we have real-people news (Comic Racks, Jamie Smart, and Almost Dr Karl Byrne)and some pretty spiffy reviews:
Deadpool #1 and 2
Big Hero 6 #1
The Dead #1
Our Top of the Racks are as outstanding as ever with a controversial Tail thrown in for good measure (via a big joint fume about Forbidden Planet)...
Our main topic this episode is less of a blow-by-blow account of Brum Con 08, but rather more of a how-drunk-did-we-get-and-what-panels-did-we-miss? account
Join us as we ramble about our celebrity new best friends, the panels that we *did* manage to get to, and what we got up to with all our forum buddies
We round off with some cracking Rack Music (Clint Eastwood from Gorillaz and Cath... from Death Cab for Cutie), as well as a rather dubious Peeve...
Tune in next fortnight for an Ask the Racks special and don't forget this is the last episode to be hosted on the Geek Syndicate feed - in the future find us solely at http://comicracks.libsyn.com/rss

Episode 21 - Ubu Bubutasticulair :), Jamie Smart - inaudible and full of vitriol
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 52 minutes and 47 secondsIn this super-duper special episode, The Ladies of the Racks get up close and personal with none other than Ubu Bubu creator and all-round cool dude, Jamie Smart!
Alas, there are no news and reviews segments, but heck, who needs those when you have a awesome interview?? Especially when said interview reveals a deep seated hatred of Jaffa Cakes, a general fear of selling oneself at conventions, a far too large amount of talk about cat porn, and the revelation that Jamie Smart smells. It's true. No, really.
Sir Jamie Smartington sticks with the girls through Rack Music, almost causing a divide in Rack City, and even puts forth a Peeve of the Fortnight. Like this podcast wasn't filled with enough vitriol
All this plus girly squeals, more random swear words than you can shake a stick at and a whole lot of fun!
~ Please to note: We apologise profusely for the sound quality of this episode. Unfortunately technical difficulties minutes before recording and the Pamela program's all-round hatred of Racks fun lead to a rather muffled Jamie. We present this episode to you in the best state we could muster, and we hope to muck around with other recording programmes in order to have Jamie on again in the future. If he'll do it, that is, we were quite scary... ~

Comic Racks 19 - Everybody Loves Paul
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 29 minutes and 9 secondsEpisode 19 - Everybody Loves Paul
In this momentous episode the ladies do away with their usual format in order to bring you their very first creator interview with none other than the frankly rather awesome Paul Cornell.
Paul has dipped his toe into the wonderful world of comics on many an occasion, writing stories such as Wisdom, 2000AD's XTNCT and the currently running (and fucking brilliant) Captain Britain and MI:13 series, to name but a few. As well as working in the comics world, Paul has penned some of the best episodes of Doctor Who to grace our TV screens (Human Nature and Family Of Blood, anyone?), several Doctor Who novels and audio shows, and episodes for top series' such as Primeval, Robin Hood and Casualty.
During the interview, the girls quiz Paul about his upcoming projects, whether being a writer makes watching shows/reading books more difficult from a technical point of view, and whether he's had any unnerving fan experiences (other than Stacey professing her undying love for him at Bristol Convention earlier this year, of course.)
To top the episode off, we pick our Rack Music for this fortnight; both of which turn out to be rather geekily inspired as one of us riffs on a Watchmen theme while the other takes inspiration from Wisdom #3.
All this as well as some insights into Paul's writing history, advice for budding writers and some good old fashioned swearing.
