Geek Shock

Running strong since 2009 with over 830 episodes, Geek Shock bills itself as the most amazing podcast on the planet and backs that up with a 4.9-star rating from 50 reviewers. That kind of longevity in podcasting is rare, and the hosts have clearly figured out a formula that keeps people coming back every week. The show covers basically everything a self-respecting nerd cares about: movies, TV, board games, video games, D&D, comics, sci-fi, fantasy, and horror. Each weekly episode blends entertainment news discussion with personal anecdotes and comedic games that keep things from getting too serious. Recent episodes have tackled everything from Star Trek conventions to video games like Deep Rock Galactic Survivor and commentary on Predator Badlands. What makes Geek Shock work is its irreverent energy. The hosts clearly know their stuff, but they never take themselves too seriously. It feels like eavesdropping on a group of well-informed friends who happen to have strong opinions about whether the latest Marvel show actually landed. The explicit content tag is earned -- they are not filtering their reactions. If you want a weekly catch-up on geek culture that feels natural rather than scripted, this one has more than a decade of proof that it delivers.
