New Geek Book/Comic/Movie/TV Club Podcast

By Glenn Fleishman

The Incomparable! A regular media critique podcast by geeks, for geeks, about geeky stuff. Jason Snell, Macworld magazine’s editorial director, is the evil genius behind it. A rotating cast of Igors, van Heslings, Doctor’s companions, and red shirts killed late in the episode will fill out the cast.

Our first discussion: sci-fi novels. Yeah, I say sigh-fie. I don’t care who says skiffy.

From the show notes for episode 1:

The Incomparable Participants: Glenn Fleishman, Scott McNulty, Dan Moren, and Jason Snell. The Incomparable Theme Song composed by Christopher Breen.

Prominently mentioned in this Incomparable episode:

• “The City & The City” by China Miéville
• “The Windup Girl” by Paolo Bacigalupi
• “For the Win” by Cory Doctorow

Oh, we’re going to talk about the Doctor in a future episode. Don’t you worry. Ah ha ha ha ha mwah ha ha.
