Earlier this month (August 7th) Jeneara and Kyle travelled to Sydney to attend Smash - an incredibly awesome anime and manga convention. Sit and listen as they tell con stories and report on the many excellent features of Smash. Plus at the end of the show we discuss protips for when you're travelling interestate for convention. Douglas Adams was right - don't forget your towel!
This month Liam and Kyle have some slight disagreements about the return of Futurama to TV before having very different opinions on the upcoming film, Tron Legacy - the sequel to the 1982 movie Tron. We also geek out about the awesome news of keyboards, pro modes and Bohemian Rhapsody for Rock Band 3.
Doujin Overload is an independent comic convention happening this month (Saturday, July 24th) in Auckland, New Zealand. We don't have any Canned Geek over in New Zealand though so we invited Marc Knowles, public relations for Doujin Overload to come on the show to tell us about the event.
The Career Geek podcast is a spin-off of the Canned Geek podcast which interviews professionals working in fields relevent, in some way, to geeky interests in the interest of learning how to get into these awesome jobs.
Here Liam talks with Guy Blomberg - better known as Yug: the co-creator of Australian Gamer. He has over ten years of experience as a graphic designer and web designers and at the time of the interview he was working as the senior designer at Speedwell. Now he's one of the founding members of the The Mana Bar in Brisbane.(Actually this interview was recorded at The Mana Bar before it opened, so enjoy the reverb!)
This month Liam and Kyle geek out about Californian scientists at Micromidas developing methods of turning shit into plastic, the formal announcement of the iPhone 4 and our surprised excitement at the guests of pop culture expo Armageddon.
