THIS BUSINESS episode 2: YOUR FATHER'S A DRUNK! HIT ME IN THE HEAD!

This week on This Business, Brad and Frank recap Wrestlemania 28, mostly in haiku form, and focus on the best and the worst of the night. They also go over the Raw immediately after 'Mania, and discusses the returning talent and the direction the WWE seems to be pointing in.

Finally, we are going to Monday Night Raw in Washington DC this week, and we discuss what we hope, expect and fear to see there.

Geekspeak Season 14, Episode 11: #3DBillyZane and Dinosaur Combat

This week, we welcome Phil Hornshaw and Nick Hurwitch, the authors of the new book So You Created a Wormhole: The Time Traveler's Guide to Time Travel to the unnecessarily tense, discomforting shores of Geekspeak country. Ostensibly they were there to talk about their book, but things take a turn. Like, several turns. We also talk about MIT's printable robots project and Ashton Kutcher playing Steve Jobs, dancing Star Wars kitsch, the challenge of making Twitter accounts, and even manage to squeeze in some Lindsey fan service. Go ahead and download the new episode, and while you are doing that go buy a copy of Nick and Phil's pretty awesome and hilarious book.

THIS BUSINESS Episode 1: Wrestlemania, Girlfriends, and Florida


Welcome to the newest Geekspeak Network podcast, THIS BUSINESS, where co-hosts Frank Wisswell and Brad Canze discuss America’s favorite psuedo-sport, professional wrestling. In its original college-radio format, pro wrestling was a big part of Geekspeak, and it has now found a digital home on the Geekspeak Network.

In this episode, Brad and Frank make their predictions for Wrestlemania XXVIII, discuss the future of Daniel Bryan and A.J. Lee -- WWE’s second-hottest power couple behind Johnny Ace and David Otunga -- and the recent rumors and shadowy clues regarding the future of Florida Championship Wrestling and WWE’s developmental program. Download, rate, comment and feel free to tell us how wrong we are and that we’re jerks on Twitter at @bradcandoit and @franktweets.


Geekspeak Season 14, Episode 10: I Know A Bar Out On Mars

This week, we talk about Kanye West web ventures, Michael Bay sullying your childhood memories of Ninja Turtles, and also Onstar acting like a super creeper. Dig in, enjoy, it's only like 50 minutes long, and you can download it here.

Re-Play Radio Episode 33: Mass Effective


Re-Play Radio returns with a whole lot of Mass Effect. First it's an update on Skylanders, Simpsons: Tapped Out, and Journey in What Else. Then we have a spoiler-heavy conversation about Mass Effect 2, after Bryan sped through the game like a champ. Finally, Steve gripes about people spoiling Mass Effect 3 in the Rant, which gives way to general paired ranting about internet entitlement.

Plus, Mordin! You must listen.

Geekspeak Season 14, Episode 9: Traveling Victory Road

In the spirit of Spring Beak (wooo!) and because most of the rest of the cast was busy/otherwise occupied (booo!) Geekspeak decided to take a break from the regular programming format.

Every match on the card is run down, and some exciting news about Frank and Brad's upcoming Geekspeak Network show is provided. Enjoy, or at least listen in baffled awe, and get ready for new episodes starting March 29. Yup, we're off next week, so download this and listen to it a few times.
