Setup! Who Are We?
July 21st, 2009 by KyleIn case you wanted to know…
Who are we?
We’re the Geek Tragedy Podcast, brought to you by National Press Comics!
Okay, but who are you?
That means we’re a weekly roundtable discussion about all the news in the sci-fi, comics, anime, gaming, fantasy, and media worlds by three lifelong fans. We’ve been around fandom a while, we know the good stuff from the bad stuff, and we’re not shy about letting our opinions be heard.
Who’s at the roundtable?
Mike, David, and Kyle are the permanent members of the roundtable. But we’ll have others sitting in, and maybe even some special guests, from time to time as well!
What are your qualifications?
We may not have any fancy degrees in fandom, but we know what sucks. And we’ll tell anyone who’ll listen.
Why should I care?
Fine – be that way. But you’re missing out!
Why call the podcast Geek Tragedy?
We would have called it Cranky Geeks, but John Dvorak would sue.
Are you really cranky?
You have no idea.
Are you going to cover technology?
Generally, no. We may touch a little on technology as it relates to fandom every so often, but there are lots of other podcasts (the abovementioned Cranky Geeks with John Dvorak, for example) that cover technology news better than we ever could, so we’re going to leave that to them.
Where can I get the podcast?
You can search for “Geek Tragedy” in iTunes, or follow this link for a direct download.
Why don’t the show notes start with Episode 1?
Because we didn’t get the idea to set up this blog until we’d been doing the podcast a while. Suck it up.
What is National Press Comics?
NPC was founded by Jamiel Hemphill – artist, writer, athlete, performer, fan, lover, and renaissance man of Oakland, California – in order to produce comics that combine the best qualities of the Silver Age classics he read growing up with the cutting edge of comics art.
Did he pay you to say that?
Yes – all in barbecued meat. Sweey, smoky barbecue.
Can I have some?
No. Scram.
And with that, welcome to Geek Tragedy!
