Gweek 031: The Strange Talent of Luther Strode

Mark Frauenfelder 7:30 am Mon Dec 19, 2011

Welcome to the Gweek podcast, episode 31! Gweek is where the editors and friends of Boing Boing talk about comic books, science fiction and fantasy, video games, board games, tools, gadgets, apps, and other neat stuff.

In this episode I am joined by Boing Boing's technology and coding maestro, Dean Putney, and cartoonist Ruben Bolling, whose comic, Tom the Dancing Bug premieres weekly on Boing Boing.

Our guest today is Veronica Belmont, the co-host of the Revision3 show Tekzilla, the co-host of a science-fiction and fantasy book podcast called Sword and Laser, and the upcoming video game show on the TWiT network, called Game On! She is also a technology writer and blogger and very entertaining tweeter. Welcome to Gweek, Veronica!
