OH!CAST | Exploring Geek Culture, Fandom and Pop Culture

OH!CAST comes from a Scottish perspective on geek culture, which already sets it apart from the heavily American-centric podcast space. Host Cal runs a weekly show with rotating co-hosts including Martin, Graeme, Rhiannon, Alena, Fanh, and Emily MacEwan, creating a round-table feel where different voices bring different blind spots and enthusiasms to the conversation. The show covers a broad range -- Star Trek deep dives going episode by episode through The Original Series, discussions about gaming news, fandom culture, and genre film breakdowns. A recent episode analyzed TOS Season 2 with a focus on mirror universes, mobsters, and the Moby Dick parallels in the series. That level of specific analysis alongside casual fandom chat gives the show a nice range. You get structured breakdown episodes sitting next to looser conversation pieces. With 59 episodes and a weekly publishing cadence, OH!CAST is building momentum quickly since launching in 2024. The tagline promises insights, laughs, and plenty of "oh!" moments, and the show delivers on that mix of thoughtful commentary and genuine surprise when a topic goes somewhere unexpected. The rotating co-host format keeps things fresh and prevents any single perspective from dominating. If your nerd interests lean toward classic sci-fi, fandom community dynamics, and the kind of conversations where people actually change their minds mid-episode, this one is worth adding to your rotation.
