Two Geeks Talking
Two Geeks Talking is an Entertainment interview show with over 1,000+ interviews in Comics, TV/Film, Music & Video Game industries. We bring fellow Geeks, Nerds and Creative people to the show in a one-on-one (or more) style interview similar to Inside the Actors Studio. If you are looking for inspiration, motivation, and advice during your daily commute, drawing, or ”me” time then each episode brings you the successes, failures, and Eureka! moments from top names in their industries. Everyone has a Story to Tell, it’s up to me to help bring that out on Two Geeks Talking.
