Geeks Under the Influence

A rotating panel riffs on a different geeky topic each episode while discussing it’s merits, preforming scene readings, and pairing alcohol to the subject.

2) Who should listen to your podcast?

Geeks, Nerds, and the pop culture obsessed

3) How long have you been podcasting and why did you get into podcasting?

Our first episode dropped on 4/20/15 (about 3 1/2 years ago). I started Geeks Under the Influence as a means of finding a constructive and challenging hobby to help battle chronic depression.

4) What non-podcasting hobbies do you have?

I do stand-up, host trivia nights in Richmond, Va, Curate movie nights at a local brewery, write, go to live shows, and occasionally have a music project.

5) Tell us about your setup (recording equipment, studio, etc)! If possible, send a picture of yourself in action, using your setup. What is one show (other than your own) that you think everyone should listen to?

I record with a Zoom R16 Multi-track recorder with Shure SM58 mics. I’ve converted my dining room into the podcast studio
