Pop culture from the con floor outward.
Geekscape runs on the feeling of bumping into passionate creators between panels. Jonathan London steers lively conversations about Marvel shows, Mario movies, filmmaking projects, sci-fi, comics craft, band stories, and whatever else the fan table has pulled into orbit.

Geekscape is a pop culture hangout with the wiring of a convention-floor conversation. It does not move like a tidy review program. Jonathan London opens the door, sets the scene, and then lets enthusiasm pull the show toward the next comic, movie, game, band, panel, or creator story. That looseness is the point. A Mario movie conversation can pause for a spoiler warning, swing into Peach's arc, compare Mushroom Kingdom logic with Brooklyn detours, and still make room for Donkey Kong complaints. A Wonder Man special can start from deep affection for Simon Williams and fan history, then turn into an episode-by-episode Marvel conversation with Ian Kerner. The creator interviews have the same live-wire feel. Derrick Acosta's Pinhole becomes a discussion of story instincts, resourceful filmmaking, Kickstarter, San Diego collaborators, and the kind of projects friends talk about after sharing a booth at LA Comic Con. Steven Prince's Mercy in Prison episode moves into comic craft, page limits, Marvel method structure, and the weird intuition of making a 24-page story land. Music gets its turn too, through Kevin Rydell and Steve Coulter from Rydell High. The convention specials are especially revealing. Pasadena Comic Con and WonderCon are treated not as backdrops, but as living ecosystems: booths, panels, creators, old friends, awkward mic moments, family interruptions, and quick chats that make the listener feel close to the floor. The show can be messy. It can also be unusually warm. Its best moments come when fan knowledge, creator access, and casual friendship all collide at once.
Made for: Geekscape suits listeners who like comics, Marvel, video games, genre movies, convention culture, creators, and fan conversations that wander before they land. It is especially built for people who enjoy friendly inside-baseball energy over polished critic distance.
What sets it apart: Its strength is access with momentum: studio chats, live-panel recordings, booth-floor interviews, and creator friendships all sit in the same feed. Geekscape feels less like coverage from outside fandom and more like an ongoing table at the center of it.
