Shows: Geeks in Space

During the wild heyday of Slashdot.org, the creators launched a weekly radio program to augemnt their daily stories, called "Geeks in Space". Discussing whatever was at the top of the heap on Slashdot that week, Rob Malda (CmdrTaco) and Jeff Bates (Hemos) held forth witha varying set of co-broadcasters. The show's schedule eventually wore them down, and the Slashdotters moved on to other projects.
