Geologic Podcast

by George Hrab · · ·

The Geologic Podcast is a weekly podcast consisting of personal stories, comedy sketches, news commentary, music and movie reviews, science advocacy, original songs, and interviews. Its host and producer is musician, composer, drummer, comedian, storyteller, TEDx speaker, event emcee, and vigilant defender of the Theory of Gravity— George Hrab. The content often draws from Geo’s musical career; the music industry in general; his adventures as a semi- almost-famous critical thinker; his fascination with language, culture, and science; and ranges in tone from incredibly serious to unbearably silly. The show’s name is a portmanteau of “George” and “Logic,” and—quite confusingly—the show contains no geology content whatsoever. Recurring characters on the show (all portrayed by Hrab) include Dr. Damian Handzy, Mortimer, Minoishe Interroberg, Rupert McClanahan and many others. The podcast content varies from week to week, but often features several of a number of recurring segments including Interesting Fauna, Ask George, Geo’s Mom Reads Jay-Z Lyrics, The History Chunk, Horror-Scopes, and The Weekly Standard. George looks at his show as a type of “brain sorbet” for those who may need the occasional respite from the “coarses” of life. The podcast started in February 2007, and George has rarely missed posting one episode per week ever since. Just ask his therapist.

I spent most of my youth either underwater or up in a tree.

My brain is just a gumball machine full of bees.

I'll find some tie-dye locally. How hard could it be?

Why does the human animal love stories so much?

The question is "why do we laugh?"

Littlewood's Law states that you will experience something that's considered one in a million once a month.

They decided to knock it down.

The little girl let go of the balloons.

What would have happened if Kurt Cobain hadn't died?

Whatever attacked me, attacked me.

First there was The Police, then Talking Heads, Rush, King Crimson, and Zappa.
