Distant Geeks
Welcome to Episode 6 of the Distant Geeks Podcast: Media Preservation Efforts and Ethics! This week, we’re down to a duo, as Danielle had prior engagements. We talk about a few of the efforts fans are making to preserve their favorite media! Adam misses Flash and loves those crazy Wrigley boys. Bill paid a sum of money he’s not proud to disclose for some much-needed nostalgia. AND WE BOTH HATE SCALPERS.

Welcome to Episode 5 of the Distant Geeks Podcast: The Parent Trope!
This week, we discuss some common themes in pop culture parenting...for better or worse. Not only that, but we share our favorite theme park rides! Adam loves A Goofy Movie and hates failure to communicate. Bill loves supportive parents (don’t worry, he elaborates) and hates helicopter Karens. Danielle loves BA moms and hates Lauren Graham (probably).
