Podcast Description
What is Boomzies? Simple, Mass Geek Debate! It’s a live indie video podcast hosted by Brian & Landon. They debate and talk about everything in geek culture from video games, comic books, movies, music, and all things nerd. All this while a live audience participates by questions and comment via chat, phone, and Skype. Mix in plenty of awkward pauses, sexual innuendo, and other politically incorrect behavior and you’ve got a formula for epicness.
