The Circle, Serial, and Google Fiber Episode 243

December 14, 2015

 

Hello Star Wars Geeks, this week's Universal Geek podcast is filled with all sorts of wonderful news for nerds. We talk about a book about a world without privacy, the return of a very popular podcast (not ours, we didn't go anywhere), the return of a not very popular superhero, Christmas stories read by a popular author, the nature of art, and Star Wars marketing.

Sit back and enjoy another episode of Universal Geek, the geek culture podcast devoted to all the things geeks love to geek out about.
