Geekerati 150 — Knights of the Dinner Table

Geekerati has their 150th podcast with Knights of the Dinner Table. Congrats on Geekerati’s longevity, Christian and Shawna!

New Entertainment Internet Radio with Geekerati Radio on BlogTalkRadio with Geekerati on BlogTalkRadio

One note: Because of technical difficulties, the first 20 minutes or so are Shawna filling time until they get KotDT on air. I think those 20 minutes, and her discussion of genre television are worth a listen, but if what you really want to hear is the guests, skip ahead a bit. This just shows what the experience of 150 podcasts can do — Shawna just dives right in without any trouble.

Vikings Renewed

Vikings has been renewed for a 3rd season. This is excellent news, as I have never seen a single episode, and as a medieval scholar this is most shameful. Now I have a chance to rectify the situation.

Movie Destruction Infographic

Today’s forecast: 40% chance of Geological Event today, with a slight chance of Sharknado in the evening. Tomorrow, don’t forget your hand sanitizer, as there is a higher-than-normal chance of widespread infection, though that may not be noticeable with the various Alien Attacks throughout the day.
