Reviews
Geeks Under the Influence Podcast
“Absolutely hilarious. I find when I am listening that I feel as if I were sitting with my own friends listening to in depth conversations about the things I love: geekiness, quick-witted nonsense, and, of course, booze.
It’s not a “one size fits all” podcast which lends to varying opinions on topics we all tend to argue about over a cocktail and tabletop game. I highly recommend giving this a listen.
It’s a wonderful departure from exclusionary nerdcasts that are in constant competition over who qualifies to be part of their “geekdom”. So, even if you AREN’T a geek, you will still find yourself feeling like part of their family.”

Geeks Under the Influence Podcast
“Geeks Under the Influence is pretty much exactly what it sounds like: a smattering of self-described nerds discussing everything from movies and TV shows to celebs to – you guessed it – booze. Listeners love it for the witty banter and in-depth coverage of niche topics. Check out the other podcasts under the GUI label for more silliness and smack talk.”
