Henry San Miguel is joined by the Nerdy Navajo, Shanclen, for this year's Halloween Episode. they play back the ghost stories sent in by you, our listeners, and also a few from our guests. Shanclen explains why his stories aren't just "I saw a shadow" or "I heard a noise" and he also explains why having a little "Halloween fun" and playing with a Ouija board, Bloody Mary or trying to communicate with spirits could invite something you only think would be in movies. Plus Henry has one last treat regarding this year's Geek Speak Treats. Almost two hours of Halloween fun, spookiness and info for you!

Happy Halloween from all of us at The Geek Speak Show!

A couple of weeks before Halloween, Henry & Shanclen get you ready for what you'll hear on this year's Halloween episode: Ghost Stories! Most of them will be from you, the listeners, but you'll hear a few from Henry and Shanclen, as well. On this episode, Shanclen shares two stories. One from his time as a tour guide at Vulture City Ghost Town in Wickenburg, Arizona and the other from a time that he visited The 13th Floor, A Halloween haunt in Phoenix,Arizona. Both tales are spooky, but also show you another side of the Nerdy Navajo.

Clover Press publisher Hank Kanalz joins Henry to talk about the ongoing Kickstarter campaign for The Amazing Spider-Man Classic Newspaper Comics. For the first time ever in softcover, Stan Lee and John Romita's THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN NEWSPAPER COMICS returns to print in Clover Press's spectacular new line of deluxe slipcase editions! The Book Club features a surprise this week. Not the book selection, but who the selection comes from.

The Geek Speak Show is back with an all-new episode! After Shanclen's Nerdy Navajo News report, Henry welcomes writer Joshua Rubin & award-winning Portugese artist Jorge Coelho. Their new comic book, Time Sensitive #1, is currently running a Kickstarter campaign, ending on October 9th. Time Sensitive isn't the typical superhero story...in fact, there are no superheroes in it. It tells the story of L.A detective Caleb Stone, who's wife disappears one day...and everyone claims she never existed. Except for one teenage girl Caleb meets who not only believes him, but knows why his wife and many other people are being deleted. After that, the Book Club selection is Mark Tullius' Try Not To Die series, with 20 titles published and 30 more in development. In addition to his other novels and short story collections, he's also written two nonfiction books inspired by his reckless journey through Ivy League football, MMA, and boxing—Unlocking the Cage, the largest sociological study of fighters, and TBI or CTE, which raises awareness for brain injury survivors.

Henry welcomes RJ Palisoc to the show this week. RJ is a producer & writer who has worked at Marvel Animation, Sony Pictures Animation and Legendary Pictures. He's now created his own comic book series called Barkskin, based on the Filipino mythological creature known as the Kapre. Plus a new Book Club selection that's perfect for the upcoming spooky season and a new Nerdy Navajo News with Shanclen.

The gang's all here for this month's Issues of the Day! Henry & Shanclen are joined by Geek Off The Street's Trent Tucker & Marc Pope as they discuss whether superhero fatigue is actually a thing now...and is it really because of bad stories or just human nature to get tired of too much of something? Marc & Trent bring up a couple of interesting topics at the end: Are all the Korean music, shows and films that are so popular now a good thing or bad thing? Also, as shown in Alien:Earth, if someone's consciousness is transferred to a diffeent body, is that person still alive or someone else?

On this episode, Henry welcomes Scott & India Cramton to the show. Scott wanted to shoot a Ghostbusters fan film for their wedding day, which he and their friends did. They released it on their theatre company's Youtube channel and it's been a huge hit with Ghostbusters fans. Hear their story in their own words and how even neighbors and locals they didn't know gladly participated in this fan film. For The Book Club, author Maxwell Alexander Drake talks about getting a second chance to (re)write his two most successful books: Genesis of Oblivion.

This week, Henry welcomes Alessandra Ferreri, Head of Content at Wattpad. Alessandra talks about the stories that Wattpad & its distributing partners look for and how those original stories get monetized, adapted & distributed. Then, writer & director Jeffrey Morris visits to talk about his new documentary, The Eagle Obsession. It follows his journey to find the origins of the Eagle Transporter spaceship from the Space: 1999 TV show...but it's actually much more than that. Plus a classic pick for The Book Club from Henry.
