Podcast Description
The past 20 years has seen the rise of the geek. So meteoric has been that rise that people who were once considered far outside of the geek culture are now applying the label to the activities that they enjoy. The Blue Yonder podcast will explore many subjects, both the traditionally geeky and those of the new-age geek. New episode every Wednesday.

Wild Blue Yonder
Very entertaining and lively podcast. If you want to assemble a party of post-zombie-apocolyptic warriors, diagnose your geek colorblindness, debate the finer points of griefing, or relive some memories of pure nerdvana, Peter, Jim, and A. Ron have you sorted. The guys are funny, crude, sophmoric, and yet at times surprisingly insightful as they take you on a journey delving into all things of interest to Generation Geek.
