The Week in Geek Radio Show

Emmy Nominated Writer & TV Producer from "Family Guy" & "Will and Grace" Gary Janetti. Also, Gary is a New York Times Best Selling Author, and he checks into the show to promote his new book "Start Without Me (I'll Be There in a Minute)" Gary talks about his new semi autobiography filled with essays about his youth and career. We also discuss his Instagram page and his nearly 1 million followers. Hilarity ensues when we play a game where he has to decide whether a Book Review is Real or Fake.
Edward R. Murrow award winner David Weinberg stops by to chat about his latest podcast called "The Superhero Complex". Which is a piece of investigative journalism that describes the Rise & Fall of real life super hero Phoenix Jones. A man who took to the streets of Seattle to protect the people. Along the way Phoenix collected a Crew of Super Hero's called the Rain City Superheroes. Fast forward 10 years and the Super Hero is now a Villain who has lost his friends and allies, and has been arrested for dealing drugs.

This weekend there was a comic-con in Kenner called Mighty Con, and that's where we met our final guests. Kristen and Trey of the Nerd Colosseum Podcast. They're a brand new podcast that pits Pop Culture, Music and Movies in a tournament style battle to see who is the best around. Check them out here --> https://anchor.fm/thenerdcolosseum
In Top Nerd News we talk about the premiere of Star Trek : Strange New Worlds this Thursday May 5th. The Dr. Strange sequel that hits the big screen this Friday May 6th. which is chock full of Easter eggs, and "What If" references. We also recap Mighty Con, which had so much potential but had poor attendance. But they did have all of our favorite local comic artists...Ted Walley, Derec Donovan, Tim Lattie, Robby Musso, and Preston Acevedo.
Finally we want to say Thank You to our listeners as we celebrate 9 years on the radio!
