Back When Mail-Order Meant Waiting 6-8 Weeks | Get Geekish Podcast #189
Tuesday Mar 29, 2022
Tuesday Mar 29, 2022
We're spoiled today by 2-day, 1-day, overnight, and within-the-hour shipping options. Back in the day, when we ordered something in the mail, it generally meant 6-8 weeks of waiting. From saving of cereal box tops to mail in for prizes to ordering 15 CDs for a penny, the wait times we had to endure required a lot of patience, and often led to a lot of disappointment. What's the best/worst thing you checked your mailbox incessantly for as a kid?

Join us on a trip down memory lane where Derek's memories of buttered bread (that's a thing?) led us to reminiscing about all the fun to be had at our local roller rinks.

The Art Of The Crossover (Or Lack Thereof)| Get Geekish Podcast #185
Monday Feb 07, 2022
Monday Feb 07, 2022
Network TV used crossover episodes as a, sometimes brilliant, other times despicable, attempt to get new viewers to watch their shows. (You know, where characters from one show end of being featured in a completely different show.) Often times, these episodes turned into train wrecks where the marketing department got to overrule the creative department. But other times, some rare crossovers made for some of the most memorable moments on TV. We talk about some of our most memorable crossover in this week's podcast, what's one of yours?

Since it was announced, the When we Were Young Festival has been flooding the social media feed of every 20-40-something emo kid (and former emo kid) with promises of a 60+ band festival oozing with nostalgia and the all of the music we loved. However, the logistics of said festival have left many wondering if it can and really will happen. Could it be a raging success, or could it be a Fyre Fest-like disaster? We discuss, and talk about some other great festivals of yesteryear in this week's podcast.
