Original Geek
Original Geek 🎙 Hosted by: Steve Scarfo (Stand-up comic, and lifelong nerd) and Jeff Shaw (The Forever DM). Remember when being a geek meant hiding your D&D dice from your parents… because they thought you were summoning demons? When downloading a single comic book cover took all night (and your mom’s phone line)? When Star Wars was a religion, and Atari was a lifestyle? Welcome to Original Geek—the podcast for gen-x adults who never outgrew their obsessions. Each episode, Steve & Jeff crack open the time capsule of sci-fi, fantasy, comics, and gaming with sarcastic wit, sharp storytelling, and zero gatekeeping. From heated debates like Star Trek vs. Star Wars to nostalgic deep-dives into 80s cartoons, obscure VHS treasures, con culture, and epic D&D fails—we celebrate the golden age of geekdom through the lens of the people who actually lived it. This isn’t some corporate nerd-splaining feed. It’s a raw, hilarious, and slightly crusty love letter to the generation that made geek cool before the MCU figured out how to profit from it. If you’ve ever rolled a 20 on shag carpet, quoted He-Man unironically, or built a PC just to play Myst… this podcast was made for you. Each week, you’ll get: • 📼 Hilarious takes on iconic movies, games, and shows • Stories from the “before times” (when being a nerd got you beat up, not sponsored) • Deep dives into the fandoms we love—with zero gatekeeping • Segments like Geek Court, Geek Evolution and Ask and O.G. 🎧 Geek nostalgia, hot takes, interviews, rants, and basement-level treasure hunts 💥 Comic-Con meets comedy club. You’re not alone. You’re an Original Geek.
