GeekSpeak is a podcast with two to four hosts who focus on technology and technology news of the week. Though originally a radio tech call-in program, which first aired in 1998 on KUSP, GeekSpeak has been a weekly podcast since 2004.

The program's slogan is "Bridging the gap between geeks and the rest of humanity".

History[edit]

GeekSpeak was created and originally broadcast on KUSP by Chris Neklason of Cruzio, Steve Schaefer of Guenther Computer, and board operator Ray Price from KUSP.[1] Shortly there after Mark Hanford[2] of Cruzio joined the program.

Currently, the host/producer is Lyle Troxell, who took over in September 2000.[3]

In April 2016, citing financial difficulties,[4] KUSP stopped broadcasting GeekSpeak with its final broadcast on May 5, 2016.[5]

GeekSpeak episodes have been distributed as an archive on the internet since 2001.[6] The podcast went live prior to March 5, 2005 with its first episode December 3, 2004.[7]
