Geek Syndicate Episode 5 - Celebrations and Comic Conventions
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 17 minutes and 56 secondsIn this episode we celebrate our 10th podcast. Now we know this is our 5th episode but with our special episodes this makes ten. We also wanted something to celebrate so there! Anyway after the fanfare or lack of dies down we get back to our mission of talking crap.
We reveal our plans to save the Halo movie, a new sword and sorcery animated film with a seriously epic voice cast. The potential train wreck that could be Babylon 5 The Lost Tales is covered. If it's sex, politics and intrigue with a sci fi slant you after we look at the upcoming Battlestar Galactica spin off Capica.
For our special feature we drag Shane Chebsey, one of the organisers of next month's Birmingham comic show kicking and screaming off the street to discuss such loft topics as Booze, the thin line between geeks and psychos, why Ultimate Avengers is so crap oh and some stuff about his work with small press and some exclusive insight and information on next month's comic show.
Yes and once again we bitch about Smallville and Torchwood.

Geek Syndicate - Sword and Sorcery Special
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 47 minutes and 44 secondsYears passed and rumours began to rumble through the outland kingdoms about a pair of fearless adventurers. Warriors, who roamed trackless deserts, mighty mountains and shining seas. These rumours grew into legends about these men who were at once; buccaneers, slaves, rouges and now Geeks for hire.
This is the tale of the time the Geek Syndicate crossed swords with the keeper of the vaults of Telos. Their quest was to find classic sword and sorcery movies lost in the mists of time and space. To discard the unworthy (dungeons and dragons) and bring back the treasured few (Lord of the rings, Conan, Excalibur) for the whole kingdom to enjoy, no matter the risk.
Come with me now and listen to a Podcast of high adventure!

Geek Syndicate Torchwood Special Episode
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 47 minutes and 48 secondsTo all the Geek Syndicate listeners, my name is Bucky a friend of the guys you will know if you listen to the show.
I received this mp3 by encrypted email from David yesterday with intructions that should I receive no word from either of them by monday I should publish this podcast.
As yet I have been unable to reach Barry or David and I fear the worst. I told them not to review the first three episodes of Torchwood that there are those that might not like what they have to say. That there would be factions outside of the law,beyond the government who would stop at nothing to stop Geek Syndicate from revealing massive spoliers for each of the three episodes.
Sadly after listening to the show I was more right I could have dreamed.
Listen to perhaps the Geek Syndicate's last ever podcast and make your own minds up.
