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.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned is, it’s not about you.
You’re in a desert and here’s this city that’s just been willed into existence by the sheer potentiality of the misunderstanding of how gambling works.
You’re fully aware that you’re being ridiculous.
“We weren’t a democracy until 1965.”
I got the workaround. I know how to make it all work.
And I just stood there. And just watched. For minutes on end.
When you’re surrounded by talent, it can be both inspiring and terrifying.
Have you ever reset the radio code after having replaced your battery?
Every now and then, it happens.
This is better for everyone.
I’m not a gearhead.
Alright, it’s time to get a new machine.
Geo’s Unofficial Musikfest Bootleg
Can we really know who we are?
It’s my 30th Musikfest living here and I can’t quite believe it.
So the chapters of my life keep writing themselves.
I was never really a money guy.
Maybe it's time we move on from fireworks.
Birthday From Memory
What I care about is that they play the repertoire with some accuracy.
