Growing Up Geek - Geek Entertainment and Nostalgia Podcast

You say Goodbye...

As it has probably become clear, Rob and I have not recorded a new podcast in over a month. Despite a few e-mails and comments suggesting a monthly show, demand just isn't high enough to continue. BUT WAIT!

We'd like to introduce our new home on the internet: RoboBoost!

Yes, it is a blog, but it will allow us to share our geeky thoughts MUCH easier than the podcast did. We are particularly excited to share music with you guys (a topic we largely avoided on the show). 

When Rob was in college, we both kept running "playlist blogs" as a way to keep in touch on good music. The archives can be found here and here). The new site will feature our music picks as well as all the nerdy gaming, movie, comic, and tech stuff you guys have come to expect.

If you like what we've done, feel free to leave us comments or send us an email here .

We look forward to keeping in touch!

Brad
