#10 – Phoenix Comicon. It was awesome. So awesome, in fact, that you get two episodes: Austin went for the first time, and even dressed up. Chris became Wil Wheaton’s body double. And I  had a random conversation with Jewel Staite about boobs. Listen in as we share our different experiences. Our guest this week? Read More

Electric CephaloPodcast #6 – ASU Origins Panel

April 03, 2013 16:04 - 1 Byte

A few days after the Origins Panel with Neil deGrasse Tyson, Bill Nye, Ira Flatow, Brian Greene (and more), we held an emergency podcast while details were (mostly) fresh in our minds. We tried to get my four year old to join us as our guest but he was more interested in finding his mother Read More

Electric CephaloPodcast #5 – Ryan Dalton

Joining us in this episode is Mr Ryan Dalton, a local sci-fi writer, comicon manager, and all around swell bloke.

Electric CephaloPodcast – #4 – Bob Beard

I’ve been excited about this podcast for a while, simply because our guest is Bob Beard. Bob is the local PBS station’s official Nerd-In-Chief (seriously), he runs the annual Nerd Walk, writes the geek culture section of Phoenix New Times, loves The Ghostbusters, and is slowly-but-surely writing a thesis on authenticity within nerd culture. Plus Read More

Electric CephaloPodcast – #3

This episode is guest free; just our personal ramblings and me momentarily mixing up Gordon Freeman with Walter White. (I know… I know… Hey, I get test anxiety in front of a microphone, okay?) We recorded this a while ago, so we may reference upcoming events that have actually already happened. Our recording with the Read More

Electric CephaloPodcast – #2 – Preston Smith

February 26, 2013 15:37 - 51.3 MB

Woah, we are two episodes in now. That’s pretty hardcore. Joining us in this episode, willing to throw himself in the midst of chaos, is Preston Smith. I don’t give Preston enough credit for Lightning Octopus. Back before I even started this thing, he was the big inspiration for me to start getting interested in Read More
