Geekshow Podcast is a weekly conversational podcast about popular culture produced by Broadway Media.[1]

Background

The show began in 1998 as a segment in the Radio From Hell program hosted by Kerry Jackson.[2] The show includes discussions focused on movies, comics, TV shows, and games.[3] The show is hosted in Kerry Jackson's basement.[4] The hosts of the show are friends so the format of the show is conversational.[5] Jeff Vice, a host of the show and a journalist for Deseret News, died in 2014 at the age of 48 due to an asthma attack.[6][7]

Reception

The show won "Best podcast" from 2009 until 2015 in the Salt Lake City Weekly awards.[8] The show later won second place for "Best Local Podcast" in the 2020 Salt Lake City Weekly awards.[9] The Geek Show was included in the illustration of a Harley Quinn comic.[10]
