It's 2021, the country is still in lockdown (though apparently some people haven't got that memo), and David and The Hand are back with their first episode of The Blessed Geeks' Podcast of the year.
In this episode, learn loads and loads of things about Disney for no reason, learn which film franchise The Hand considers to be the best ever, ask yourself if boycotting Disney+ is really the answer, and as a very special treat, just for you - yes, YOU!...partake in the first ever Blessed Geeks' Sing-Along. This episode...Be Prepared from The Lion King. (Or The "Loin" King, if you don't proof-read)

Well they've done it again. David and The Hand have returned with yet another Christmas episode of The Blessed Geeks' Podcast, and guess what! The Hand has created a whole new feature! No one quite understands it, and the scoring system requires a PHD in both, thermal dynamics and contemplative physics. But he's trying, bless him.
In this episode, learn about what telescopes should really be called when they don't make use of the "Tele" part of one's body. Learn about Japanese asteroid-landing best-practice. And, as always, immerse yourself fully in some freshly splurged nerdings.
Oh - and have a fantastic merry Christmas. Be safe!

Merry Christmas to all our listeners and thank you for putting up with us!
Episode A-Teen was recorded on the 4th November, prior to the sad passing of the amazing, wonderful soul that is "Uncle" Stan Lee. Rather than shoe-horn a tribute into this episode, a part of the next episode will be dedicated to him
Among other items, Episode A-Teen sees the long awaited return of Twisted Vista where David and The Hand discuss the subject, "If the Earth was about to be completely decimated and you were to send FIVE people into space to find a new home and continue the human race, who would you send?" A conversation which then spirals into a discussion about evolution - a taster for a future episode.
Also, the new Blessed Geeks' Podcast logo is revealed to The Hand for the first time, live on the show.
