If you reading this congratulations you just hired....
Geek Syndicate
In 1981 these boys were sent to high security inner city school for the crime of Geekdom. Five years later these boys promptly escaped to the UK underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as Geeks of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else will help and if you can afford us (we’re in the phone book and are rates are reasonable) maybe you can hire...The Geek Syndicate
The Geek Syndicate are a UK based group fronted by David Monteith and Barry Nugent, producing a bi-weekly podcast celebrating and commenting on all aspects of geek life including comics, books, movies, tv, games, tech ...and booze.
It's critically acclaimed, irreverent, touching, intellectual, nonsensical, fairly drunken, incredibly sexy, hilarious...er...and stuff.

Geek Syndicate Episodes - | Two Geeks with No Name Podcast: Series 1 Empires: Episode 4 Earth Allianceâ | 'This week Kehaar and Grampus wrestle with the slow kid in the Babylon 5 class - the Earth Alliance. With particular attention to the Earth-Minbar War and the Clark Civil War they buffet between topics including space colonisation, first contact and relative scales of unpleasantness in war.
We apologise for delays in recording due to 'When Babies Attack' events.
No damn shirt collars disappeared or went to Zah'um in the making of this episode.
Now get the hell listenng our podcast!
An ISN special report confirms Kehaar is doing the Liverpool Half Marathon if you want you can sponsor him hear http://www.justgiving.com/Andrew-Clark1
TWGNN is also willing to sponsor a Comic Forum project - details on the Geeksyndicate forum an executivue summary below from Bluemeanie:
"Ok, short version - if we get enough teams to warrant doing it, we were after short comic stories of up to 10 pages max. The theme at the moment is just nerd-life, but this might change if the forum gets fixed and people can actually give feedback.Deadline wise, were talking end of September which should be enough for even the laziest to get 3 or 4 pages together. Then it all gets put in a book, thrown up in Indyplanet and any and all proceeds go to the Hero Initiative.In the past these have just been a bit of fun and only shift copies to people who have something in there, but its still a bit of fun and good practice."

| Scrolls - Episode 0 "We All Have To Start Somewhere" | Welcome to the pilot episode of Scrolls, the podcast for literary geekdom.The team first explores some of the influences that got us interested in fantasy, sci-fi and horror back in the day. We then roll an eye over the books weâve been reading most recently, before beginning the first of our (soon to be legendary) discussions about the vast flood of literary adaptations out there. Finally we share some of the books we feel compelled to come back to again and again.Amongst it all we wander between swearing monkeys, dead wasps and the joyously camp fifth ghostbuster. We ponder deep mysteries such as the genre placement of Muppet Treasure Island and just how easy it would be to get a can of coke in Mordor. We also discover which member of the cast cheated at Fighting Fantasy,which one rates The Very Hungry Caterpillar as a formative piece of genre fiction and who thinks thereâs just something special about a pangolin. | Get at Short URL | Download Scrolls - Episode 0 "We All Have To Start Somewhere" | Play in Popup.

| Episode 21 - Ubu Bubutasticulair :), Jamie Smart - inaudible and full of vitriol | In this super-duper special episode, The Ladies of the Racks get up
close and personal with none other than Ubu Bubu creator and all-round
cool dude, Jamie Smart!Alas,
there are no news and reviews segments, but heck, who needs those when
you have a awesome interview?? Especially when said interview reveals a
deep seated hatred of Jaffa Cakes, a general fear of selling oneself at
conventions, a far too large amount of talk about cat porn, and the
revelation that Jamie Smart smells. It's true. No, really.Sir
Jamie Smartington sticks with the girls through Rack Music, almost
causing a divide in Rack City, and even puts forth a Peeve of the
Fortnight. Like this podcast wasn't filled with enough vitriol All this plus girly squeals, more random swear words than you can shake a stick at and a whole lot of fun!~
Please to note: We apologise profusely for the sound quality of this
episode. Unfortunately technical difficulties minutes before recording
and the Pamela program's all-round hatred of Racks fun lead to a rather
muffled Jamie. We present this episode to you in the best state we
could muster, and we hope to muck around with other recording
programmes in order to have Jamie on again in the future. If he'll do
it, that is, we were quite scary... ~Jamie Smart's website of awesomeness | Get at Short URL | Download Episode 21 - Ubu Bubutasticulair :), Jamie Smart - inaudible and full of vitriol | Play in Popup.

| Comic Racks 19 - Everybody Loves Paul | Episode 19 - Everybody Loves PaulIn this momentous episode the ladies do away with their usual format in order to bring you their very first creator interview with none other than the frankly rather awesome Paul Cornell.Paul has dipped his toe into the wonderful world of comics on many an occasion, writing stories such as Wisdom, 2000AD's XTNCT and the currently running (and fucking brilliant) Captain Britain and MI:13 series, to name but a few. As well as working in the comics world, Paul has penned some of the best episodes of Doctor Who to grace our TV screens (Human Nature and Family Of Blood, anyone?), several Doctor Who novels and audio shows, and episodes for top series' such as Primeval, Robin Hood and Casualty.During the interview, the girls quiz Paul about his upcoming projects, whether being a writer makes watching shows/reading books more difficult from a technical point of view, and whether he's had any unnerving fan experiences (other than Stacey professing her undying love for him at Bristol Convention earlier this year, of course.)To top the episode off, we pick our Rack Music for this fortnight; both of which turn out to be rather geekily inspired as one of us riffs on a Watchmen theme while the other takes inspiration from Wisdom #3.All this as well as some insights into Paul's writing history, advice for budding writers and some good old fashioned swearing.Don't forget to take part in the UK Comics Podcast Group competition by listening to the 5 Secret Quotation episodes: for more information visit www.comicspodcasts.co.ukEnjoy! | Get at Short URL | Download Comic Racks 19 - Everybody Loves Paul | Play in Popup.

Tangent City this episode as Stacey gets hyper on who knows what and

craziness.The girls cover highly important topics this
fortnight, from the origins of The Cheeky Girls, to Stacey's Mr's giant
birthday list, to whether Daniel Craig is a pouty woman or not, plus
lots more in between.But fear not, my comic loving friends, for
the girls do get their comic on and bust out a load of reviews, from
Kick Ass to Fables, Dock Walloper to Maus, plus a couple of non-comic
goodies along the way. This is mostly because they couldn't think of a
proper topic, but hey, it's all good. During these spoiler-rific
reviews Iz proclaims that everything ever is "fucking awesome", Stace
brings everyone down and The Racks it's first ever joint Top of the
Racks. That's right, folks, there's a comic out there so awesome that
it gets the full Comic Racks endorsement! (Go buy it!)The
regular Rack Music segment sees The Rack Ladies accidentally develop a
theme of video game related tunes, though Stace has yet to find out
Iz's verdict on her pick this fortnight.So sit back, relax, and enjoy a podcast full of random singing, laughs and reviews a-plenty! | Get at Short URL | Download Comic Racks Episode 17 - The One With All The Tangents | Play in Popup.

| Comic Racks Episode 15 - Return of the Rackettes! | Firstly, the Ladies of
Rackington would like to apologise to you, the wonderful listening
public, for the untimely release of this episode. Technical
difficulties and unprovoked front door attacks prevented this episode
from being released on time, but trust us, it's worth the wait!After
several months of being completely rubbish, the girls finally get their
act together and present to you their second and rather awesome
Rackette, the lovely Marcus Q. Join them in the main feature as they
discuss Marcus' comic likes and dislikes, how dyslexia can affect a
comic reader and what comic creators and editors could be doing to
improve the reading quality of their works.During the show,
Stacey gets excited several times, on topics such as The Futureheads
(oh, will she ever shut up about them? I think not), Jamie Smart and
awesome looking Transformers covers. As well as all the excitement
there are rants a-plenty as Iz slates her Tail of the Racks, and Marcus
addresses a friend who borrowed (read: nicked) some books once...Unfortunately,
Mr Q departed before the Rack Music and Peeve segments, but never fear!
Iz and Stace produce the goods, as they can never let a good rant lie.Will
Stace disguise herself as Velma to stalk The Futureheads? Will Marcus
ever get his books back? Will Iz accept that being "the tits" is, in
fact, a good thing? Listen on and find out!Enjoy! | Get at Short URL | Download Comic Racks Episode 15 - Return of the Rackettes! | Play in Popup.

| Comic Racks - Episode 13 | In Episode 13, the Racks present their Top 10 Kick-Ass Female Characters from the comic books, TV, and film :D A pretty diverse range of choices have emerged, with only one character being chosen by both ladies :P
As is now customary with Comic Racks - this episode *will* contain VERY strong language - you have been warned :)
Reviews and rants a -plenty can also be found in this episode, along with only one selection of Rack Music being chosen this time by the Stace de la Bob. Iz resists the urge to review Baby Boomers *again*, but (at Stacey's request) reads out the majority of Ubu Bubu.
So, join the Racks and listen in on their sage musings on Iron Man, Wesley "what tax bill?" Snipes, almost forming the Neil Googe appreciation society, a coupla stonking Peeves, and a shared Tail of the Racks (dun dun dunnnnnn).

| Comic Racks - Episode 12 | Welcome to Episode 12 where Stace takes over the editing reigns for the first time (and shows Iz up by getting it done bang on time).Apologies for the sound issues in this episode which we wil have sorted out for next time :)Before they get stuck into the main topic of a Bristol Con preview, the girls talk about Rock Star, Dr Who doing Shakespeare, Baby Boomers at BristolCon and online, the Gotham Knights trailer and the Golden Champagne Glass Awards 2008 (vote Geek Syndicate!!).Reviews include Maintenance Vol 2, Ms Marvel #25, Dr Who Season 4 Eps 1 & 2, CJ7, and Everybody's Dead #2. This section witnesses Iz inadvertantly insulting Steve Coogan (she didn't mean to) while going mad over Son of Rambow, Stace losing her mind over not having Fillerbunny, and the Racks being divided over the new Who companion.Iz very rudely dominates the Top of the Racks section with a 12 minute hysteria fit over the best-birthday-present-in-the-whole-world, but makes up for it by also choosing Pushing Daisies which the girls bond over. Stace drops two (TWO!) titles in her Tail and Iz warns of the perils of watching Superhero Movie.For the main topic, the Racks chat about which creators/ writers / artists they are most looking forward to seeing in Bristol, and for the first time ever, both Racks like each others choice for Rack Music. | Get at Short URL | Download Comic Racks - Episode 12 | Play in Popup.

musical, Iz muses on the sanity of Tom Cruise and we discuss the pros

section, covering comics and graphic novels from recent to oldies, and

| Geek Syndicate - Sword and Sorcery Special | Years passed and rumours began to rumble through the outland kingdoms about a pair of fearless adventurers. Warriors, who roamed trackless deserts, mighty mountains and shining seas. These rumours grew into legends about these men who were at once; buccaneers, slaves, rouges and now Geeks for hire.
This is the tale of the time the Geek Syndicate crossed swords with the keeper of the vaults of Telos. Their quest was to find classic sword and sorcery movies lost in the mists of time and space. To discard the unworthy (dungeons and dragons) and bring back the treasured few (Lord of the rings, Conan, Excalibur) for the whole kingdom to enjoy, no matter the risk.
