What is The Good, The Bad & The Geeky Podcast?
The Good, The Bad & The Geeky is a podcast hosted by Nick Nitro, Jon Bettin, & DJ Meat and features discussion from the latest TV/Film News, parodies, (attempts at) comedic sketches, music from upcoming artists, and interviews, guaranteeing any listener, from a closeted geek to hardcore geek a good time.
Show History
The No Name Show was the original incarnation of the podcast starting in 2005-2006, lasting 15 episodes. Originally Starring Nitro and DJ Meat, soon-after it became just Nick and their mutual friend Jimmy Dailey (also known as Jerome Wetzel in some areas of the interwebs) mostly talking movies and television shows and other geekdom. From the death of the No Name Show was birthed The Good The Bad & The Geeky.
The Good, The Bad & The Geeky (also known as GBG for short) originally started being co-created/co-hosted by Nick Nitro & Jimmy Dailey. Soon after, our friend Jon Bettin displayed a want to do the podcast. From there, Jon became a main part of the show, the third wheel in our moped, until Jimmy left the show in April of 2009. From there, Jon and Nick rocked the show until DJ Meat started to add his own unique brand to the show in late June of 2010.
In late 2011 a new podcast series/service entitled ‘The Good, The Bad & The Geeky Presents’ or ‘GBG Presents’ for short, was launched.
Schedule
We record the podcast every other week (usually unless something comes up) on Tuesday nights, ranging from 10:45PM EST – 11:00PM EST starting time. The podcast then is edited and is posted by that Sunday Night on iTunes and http://www.gbgpodcast.com.
Format
The show has always been about the entertainment field of some sort, and has evolved into a hodgepodge of ‘day in the life’ stories from the hosts, the point where sometimes it doesn’t really even mention entertainment-based things. For a show entitled “The Good, The Bad & The Geeky” though, this has been misleading. But it has also given listeners a chance to fully flesh out our personalities to our listeners and as such the show has begun a re-birthing process; overall the year of 2011 has been a good one planting the seeds for further change. Starting in Episode 150 the show has become more entertainment based again, offering different segments, including:
• The official return of Jimmy in his own segment entitled ‘Jerome Wetzel TV’
• Special Guest-Hosts To Discuss Certain Topics Ranging from Film/TV and more
• Attempting to Obtain More Special Guest Interviews on the Show (like Scrubs/CougarTown creator Bill Lawrence, etc.)
Live & Un-Edited
When we record the podcast we do so on Tuesday Nights, (usually unless something comes up). Our starting time varies, usually ranging from 10:45PM EST – 11:00PM EST starting time. (To get exact time-frame, follow goodbadgeeky on twitter or peep out our Facebook page.) While usually the podcast then is edited and is posted by the following Sunday Night on iTunes and http://www.gbgpodcast.com, the night of the podcast we also stream out our episode on ustream in something called “The Good The Bad & the Geeky: LIVE & UN-EDITED” which features the podcast in an unedited (and possibly) crude form. While the normal podcast released is edited down to about an hour (give or take 10 minutes or so) the ‘Live & Unedited’ feed ranges from an hour to three hours. While usually the Live & Un-Edited feed was to feature on stuff recorded which would be pieced together in editing later down the road, Starting in episode 150, we will be airing full segments and pre-recorded bits minus the musical break.
