Y5E07 - Starbase Indy with Lisa and Mark

Happy Friday, my friends! Welcome back to the Indiana Geeking Podcast! This month, we're still looking at gaming, because I'm still feeling Gen Con, but instead of cards, we're looking at table top role playing games! Specifically, we're looking at a locally created source book for Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition! The World of Tele'Thala is a world, compatible with D&D 5E, that was created by Jared Bartels, with art and layout design by Mike Ficarra, for Courser's Folly Entertainment. These two sat down with me at the Geek Cave Studios, pet my dogs, and talked with me about their work, answered some questions from users of the Geeking in Indiana Discord, and generally just had a good conversation with me. So settle in, grab a nice cup of tea, and listen to us all talk D&D for about fifty minutes! Added bonus: Scroll to the bottom of the blog post for information about the contest mentioned in the podcast!   Time stamps! 0:00 - 0:26 Sponsor Announcement - FlexePark 0:26- 0:34 Guest Announcement 0:26- 4:48 “The Trouble with Tribbles #3” by Five Year Mission 4:41 - 6:45 Things to do, Episode Information 6:45 - 47:21 The World of Tele'Thala with Jared and Mike 47:22 - 50:08 “Keep Beach City Weird” by The Shake Ups in Beach City 47:36 - 49:08 Outro, Patron Thanks Links of note!

Y5E06 - The World of Tele'Thala

Happy Friday, my friends! We are back with another Magic: The Gathering episode of the Indiana Geeking Podcast! This one is a bit longer, but we had a lot of stuff to go over to bring you all up to date on everything Magic happening from the beginning of 2019, all the way up to the recently released MTG 2020 Core Set. Not only do we have that information, but Jarred and TJ also cracked open a prerelease box (see photos at bottom of the post) and did some talking about how to draft a deck. In addition, after the episodes were recorded, we wanted to give you all some additional resources, so look for those down in the show notes. Now, I want to warn you all, this episode is over two hours. Jarred and TJ had a lot of information, and even after a couple of listens, I didn't have much to cut past some of my "witty" remarks. So, tuck in, and get ready to listen to all things Magic: The Gathering, thanks to these two fantastic gentlemen!

Y5E03: The Shake Ups - Meddling Kids

Happy Friday, my friends! We're back with the second episode of the Indiana Geeking Podcast, the podcast where we focus on Hoosier-based creators and events! This month, Lizz and I took a trip to one of the top 3D Printing events, the Midwest RepRap Festival. Held in Goshen, it brought in makers from across the world to show off their work, their machines, and eat tacos. As we were looking around, and preparing to start our own journey into 3D printing (more on that next week), we found some folks from here in Indiana that we wanted to talk Hoosier business with. Luckily, I had the trusty old Zoom H1 with me, so I was able to get some interviews with some folks in northern Indiana who make 3D Printers, filament, and use all of this to make their own props and costumes! So, without further ado, join me as I give you some top events for the month of April, then jump into a series of short interviews with some of the local folks tabling at MRRF! Don't worry, this one's only about 45 minutes long! NOTE: You can find the Facebook Photo Album with the photos we took at this link.

Y5E02 - Midwest RepRap Fest 2019

Guess what time it is? That's right, it's time for the long-awaited return of the Indiana Geeking Podcast! Now that I've helped my friends get their podcasts off the ground, it's time to focus on this one! Moving forward, Indiana Geeking will "air" on the first Friday of every month! Gone are the days of "Is it weekly? Is it monthly? Did he remember it?", instead we're going monthly, along with the other members of the Team Geeking Family of Podcasts. For 2019, I'm really excited to bring on local cartoonist David Reddick! I first became familiar with his work through the "Legend of Bill" webcomic and his work on StarTrek.com and Roddenberry.com, and have followed his "Intelligent Life" webcomic since day one. Being a local cartoonist, we have many mutual friends, but it wasn't until recently where we finally had the opportunity to meet! So now, we have him here on the Indiana Geeking Podcast, talking about his work in comics, growing up a Geek in Indiana, and more! So sit back, put in your earbuds, grab a cup of Raktajino, and enjoy the discussion!

Y4E04 - The Shake Ups Legendary Defenders

Happy Friday, readers, and welcome back to the Indiana Geeking Podcast! For our third episode of 2018, I was given the opportunity to sit and talk with most of the members of our local Star Trek band, Five Year Mission. You've heard their music before, as they've been kind enough to let me use them for the opening tracks of the podcast since last year, and in this episode we talk about their newest album, Year Four! Join Mike Rittenhouse, Andy Fark, Noah Butler, and Patrick O'Conner as we talk their favorite series, ambushing Simon Pegg, throw shade at Star Trek Discourse, and talk about their latest album! In addition, as it's a shorter interview (they needed to practice), I threw in a bit of information about upcoming events. Even with that, however, this episode tracks at just under thirty minutes! So, sit back, and let us fill your earholes with some laughter, some 5YM trivia, and a track from their new album!   Time Stamps! 0:00 – 0:08 Introduction 0:00 – 3:57 “A Private Little War” by Five Year Mission, Year Four 3:57 - 5:14 Episode Introduction and Upcoming Events - Head Geek, Tony Troxell 5:14 – 5:28 Transporter 5:28 - 23:39 Interview with Five Year Mission (Mike Rittenhouse, Andy Fark, Noah Butler, Patrick O'Conner) 23:39 – 26:23  “Keep Beach City Weird”, The Shake Ups, The Shake Ups in Beach City 23:52 – 25:22 Closing, Patron Thanks Links of note!

Y4E03 - Five Year Mission

We are back, with another episode of the Indiana Geeking Podcast! This week, we've got someone a bit different! Phil Kellar is a local costumer, who has replicated costumes from all sorts of sci-fi franchises over the years, and is currently running a business called "Spacey-Wacey Wear", helping supply both Rebels and the Resistance with the soft parts they need to fight the Empire and the New Order. Phil's been a friend of mine for years, and I wanted to talk to him a bit about his history making costumes, tips for new builders, and why something like this costs a pretty penny! I would know, myself, because Phil is the person helping me out with the soft parts to my Resistance Pilot! So, let's sit back, and let Phil and I (with music by The Shake Ups and Five Year Mission) fill your earholes for the next 45 minutes!   Time Stamps! 0:00 – 0:09 Introduction 0:00 – 4:44 “Immunity Syndrome” by Five Year Mission, Year Three 4:45 – 43:02 Discussion with Phil 43:02 – 44:48  “Keep Beach City Weird”, The Shake Ups, The Shake Ups in Beach City 43:16 – 44:51 Closing, Patron Thanks Links of note!

Y4E01 - Kicking Off with Team Geeking

Happy Wednesday, my friends! I know, this is an odd day for the Podcast to come out, but here we are! This week, I have guests Ed Cho and Lee Cherolis on, talking about their comic, Little Guardians! There were a few recording issues, as I endeavor to learn the ins and outs of my recording equipment, so that's why this took a bit longer to come out! The wait is worth it, though, as we talk about their comic, their inspirations, what they're reading now, and even a bit of Stranger Things 2! So, feel free to download us, and let us fill your earholes as you check out their work, and get ready to attend their signing at Comic Book University on December 27th!   Time Stamps! 0:00 – 0:06 Introduction 0:07 – 2:30 “The Bits”, The Shake Ups, The Shake Ups in Beach City 2:30 – 38:56 Interview with Ed & Lee 38:56 – 41:39  “Keep Beach City Weird”, The Shake Ups, The Shake Ups in Beach City 39:09 – 41:07 Closing, Patron Thanks Links of note!

Y3E11 - Little Guardians, with Ed & Lee

Good day, my friends! We are back, with another episode of the Indiana Geeking Podcast! This week, I was lucky enough to get some time with Lisa Meece, who is one of the organizers of Starbase Indy! SBI is a yearly convention that normally happens around Thanksgiving Weekend here in Indianapolis, that has traditionally been a Star Trek convention! However, this year, there's going to be a little bit of a change! Wondering what that change is? Well, then you might as well sit back, put on your headphones, sip your Earl Gray (hot), and let Lisa and I fill your ears for approximately the next 45 minutes!
