SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT! There are some exciting changes coming to the Damn Dirty Geeks podcast!

This collaboration will present comedy radio plays to entertain you between our continued interview and discussion episodes.

We have plans for the Damn Dirty Geeks to participate in upcoming and future episodes, as performers and writers of new material. Our first-ever Revival League/Damn Dirty Geeks Cross-Stream Production: “Shorts in a Bunch: Back to School!” Starring the Revival League regulars (joined by the lovable albeit annoying Kruzunka Wunkas), as well as special guests Frank Conniffand Trace Beaulieu(MST3K’s The Mads), Frank Dietz(Zombie Nightmare/Damn Dirty Geeks) and Carolina Hidalgo(SiriusXM/The Mads Are Back! Podcast), this brand new radio play passes the test when it comes to putting the “ass” back in “class.” From an awkward blind date with a singing social outcast, to a gorilla that knows exactly when to lend a hand, to the single most spot-on Donald Trump impersonation of all time, “Shorts in a Bunch: Back to School” features a busload of silly skits written and performed by the Revival League Podcast gang! ***Warning! This radio play is rated NSFW, Not Safe For Work. It contains strong language and adult situations. Listener discretion is seriously advised.***

Rise up, comrades, and join the Revival League’s “Labor Day Worker’s Soda Review!” The “Gang of Four” -- Greg, Ron, Robb and Erica (plus special guest Frank “Zombie Nightmare” Dietz) -- sample sodas from across Eastern Europe. The results are anything but revolutionary. It’s a Long March as the gang questions the means of soda production, all while sipping such Iron Curtain flavors as tarragon, elderberry, bitter lemon, sour cherry, quinine and anise. Soft drinks from Slovenia, the Czech Republic, Georgia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina all march across everyone’s taste buds, until their poor palates start Stalin out. This Labor Day Special certainly left its Marx. The consensus: most of these beverages would be improved with a stiff shot of vodka. All this, and a long winter’s bread line, on this week’s episode of the Revival League Podcast!

Next up from the set of Season 12 of "Mystery Science Theater 3000," the Revival League interviews Test Subject and Show Host Jonah Ray... but something seems a little off. Who will win in this battle of wits... Jonah Ray, or his stand in, Fauxnah Ray (who noisily eats a sandwich during his interview)?

On this episode of the Revival League Podcast, things go horribly awry when Ryan inadvertently uses a poorly thought-out expression and Greg, James and Robb spend the rest of the episode berating him. Also, the gang talks way too much about 80s TV staple "Hardcastle & McCormick" and discuss "Ant Man and the Wasp". Plus, Ron interviews Nick Evans, the voice of ICWXP's Topsy Bot 5000.

On this episode of the Revival League Podcast, Greg's off doing work for charity, which means Ryan and Robb are in charge. This turns out to be a bad idea.

In the interview segment, Ron and Kate chat with FreakZone Games' Sam Beddoes, creator of the hit "Manos" video game for mobile and PC.
