A transitionary show today, the last one before the geek show goes all video-y.

After that, Ukraine opening up holiday tours in Chernobyl, a Spanish Fashion brand have designed the Smart Shirt 3.0, Ecuador ups the stakes in the Weird Ice-cream stakes and Andy Serkis has his most challenging role ever

S16 Ep13: S16E13 - Pure Nintendo Filth
We mention on this week's show that the Axolotl is the cutest creature on the planet, controversial we know, but with the episode post we present all our key evidence.
This week on the Geek Show we have Pure Nintendo Filth that gives us our first bit of essential 'bleep' of our 300+ episode run. Also on the show we talk about Game of Thrones Cash-ins Plans; Amazon’s launches Alexa Answers to crowdsource answers that Alexa doesn’t already have; Chinese AI powered face swap APP being too powerful. MIT have created a colour changing ink; German city wants proof that don’t exists; and lastly, Doom Meat Vodka. That last one has gave us our favourite game ever, tune in to find out what it is.
If you like the podcast, send us some support by throwing us a few pounds a month on PATREON. Alternatively, we'd massively appreciate it if you gave us a star rating or review wherever you get your podcasts from or check out some of our other podcasts, I recommend the spiritually similar Literary Loitering. They describe themselves as cultural anarchy for good reason.

S16 Ep12: S16E12 - Roomba on Hoover Violence
The Geek Show returns once again to dip its toes in pop culture, science and technology news, and as usual things take a turn for the weird.
The big story this week is the Sony-Marvel divorce - which basically means no more Spider-Man in the MCU after the current plans are finished. After that we discover a potential fourth Matrix movie, using goats to prevent forest fires, fossils of comically large birds in New Zealand, Youtube actually admitting to a mistake, robotic exo-shorts, autonomous self-riding bicycles, possibly radioactive vodka, and a story that proves that while the British are just as weird as the rest of the world.

S16 Ep11: S16E11 - Non-Denominational K-Pop Stars
After a short break between episodes (on account of one of the hosts moving house), The Geek Show returns for our regular, bi-monthly look at the weird and crusty outer layer of science and technology news with a podcasting taste that really shouldn't be licked.
Like that trailer for Cats. Yikes ....
Anyway, anthropomorphism seems to be the order of the day as a collaboration of international scientists in China claim to have created hybridised monkey-human embryos, while the Japanese Science Ministry is all for the creation of "humanimals" ... we won't get into that particular discussion though.
In other news, McDonald's new environmentally-friendly paper straws are apparently not recyclable at the moment, Ebay have filed a lawsuit against Amazon for trying to steal sellers, mobile phone company Vivo is touting an all-screen smartphone, a UK data science company has developed a new AI program for bars and pubs, a woman was arrested for making counterfeit money on an inkjet printer, a man in Siberia is suing a psychic firm for failing to bring back his estranged wife, researchers in Japan have created a wearable quasi-prehensile tail for humans, and a Malaysian goat has become gone viral because it looks like a K-Pop star.
There's lots of fun for all the family on this episode of The Geek Show.
Thanks for listening and don't forget to give us a rating wherever you get your podcasts and give us a follow on Twitter while you are at it. If you like what you heard, bless you, if you can send us some support by throwing us a few pounds a month on PATREON.
