Grumpy Old Geeks
Jason DeFillippo & Brian Schulmeister with Dave Bittner
We dissect the tech news train wrecks of the week, calling out what went wrong and who’s to blame. Think of this podcast as if Kurt Cobain threw down with Tom from MySpace, Elon Musk, and Mark Zuckerberg in a back alley brawl. No mercy, no filter—if tech had a walk of shame, this would be it.

38: No real limits of any kind apply here...
In this pre-holiday run up we clear out our libraries and dump our brain buckets on you. Books may be the new TV but we talk some TV too. Zombies tech takes leap forwards and Snowden is still chillin in Russia. Basically, the usual, but fresher!

37: Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now
In this episode we try and take some user feedback to heart and do a more lighthearted show filled with goodness, light, and the brighter side of the human condition. Yeah, didn't work. But at least we had a really good laugh doing it!

33: Within one decimal point of FU
This week our show sounds like an homage to Edward R. Murrow's reports from the London Blitz. Brian explores the pubs and sweet shops of Jolly Old and has a run in with the Royals. Jason requires caffeine but opts for a morning Miller to liven things up.
