The lemongrass incident one, in which Mike Federali returns to the Therefore I Geek podcast with more whimsical conversation than ever before. Topics include the upcoming spring Tidewater Comicon show, Alan Tudyk and Nathan Fillion’s new project Con Man, whether or not J. R. R. Tolkien’s middle initials stand for “Really Rad” (hint: they do), and an impassioned plea for all Disney stores to sell Marvel comics from now on.

It's here! Our 50th episode spectacular live from Dave and Busters in Virginia Beach in front of a live audience! This week the guys are joined by Angry Fat Guy Cody Green as they judge the first-ever "Great Nerd Debate!" Where six people from the live audience get to face off against one another one-on-one to debate topics such as what is the best gaming console of all-time, who shot first (Han or Greedo), and what superheroes should be on Mt. Rushmore. The guys are also joined by Mike Federali of Tidewater Comicon to discuss the two day live show in May! And also tons of nerd news! Enjoy and here's to another 50 episodes and beyond!

***** SPOILER ALERT ***** In which, Mike Federali joins Andrew and Tracy once again to discuss the world of geekdom and let us in on the latest gossip from Tidewater Comicon. We settle on the best idea for a Guardians of the Galaxy based breakfast cereal, and Mike brilliantly predicts the next placeholder for Wolverine in the Wolverine and the X-men title (which was announced the next day). He also reads everyone’s minds.

​In this episode Wendi goes to Aw Yeah! Comics to celebrate the release of Oni Press' "The Life After" with writer Joshua Hale Fialkov and artist Gabo! They discuss the new book and it's concepts of spirituality and purgatory as well as his previous work on "The Bunker" and "I, Vampire". Then he makes suicide sound very appealing. Next is a conversation with Mike Federali, organizer of Tidewater Con, an upstart comic convention in Virginia Beach. He's an energetic, enthusiastic proponent of really making comics part of the community for everyone. He's assembled this convention with guests like Sam Huntington, Joel Hodgson, Pop Mahn, Nancy Collins and more. In the wake of SDCC it's interesting to hear someone from the other end of organizing discuss cosplay issues, the evolution of artists alley and what the real logistics are.

In honor of the 30th anniversary of Ghostbusters, Cody stops by to discuss this milestone and the three of us also share our own paranormal stories and experiences. Also we discuss Dr. Who casting news, Incredible Hulk getting his own planet (possibly), and much more! Also Nick was at last week's Dave and Ghostbusters event presented by Tidewater ComiCon and caught up with some guests and the man behind it, friend of the show Mike Federali!

In which, Andrew and Tracy got the opportunity to talk to the brains behind Tidewater Comicon. Mike Federali, the convention’s organizer, shared how he got started with conventions and what inspired him to create a brand new convention for the Hampton Roads area. We also talked about the first TWCC event in April of this year, and how the turnout was way more than anyone expected, as well as Mike’s plans for the future of the convention.
