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.

Yes, iz very complicated.

This reminded me of why I do this stuff.

It happens every year.

I got the strangest little postcard the other day.

And that was the very first band that was mine.

The band didn't rehearse.

The false positive is less impactful than the false negative.

I forgot I like this! This should be something I talk about more.

One mapmaker likef Amerigo better than Vespucci.

So there's this question of y'know are you going to get a job?

I will never be friends with a billionaire.

Zappa once said the most important part of a piece of art is the rame.

So why are you leaving the band?

So I rarely get lost, but very often I'm not sure where I am.
