Customer Reviews
The essential geek podcast
Has introduced me to a bunch of excellent geek stuff I'd not come across before, and enabled me to fall in love with the things I like all over again.
Great little podcast
Really enjoyed this. The Anime subjects covered have inspired me to check out the titles discussed. The podcasters speak with a real sense of passion about their subjects. Quickly becoming one of my must listen podcasts.
GeekPlanet's excellent audio.
This is a great little show that covers a great variety of books, comics, games, new and old films and I'm sure even more in the future. Well worth checking out for intelligent discussion and some good banter. I highly recommend this podcast as well as the GeekPlanet site itself.
