Do you have an EGOT? Two Geeks Talking is half-way there
Month 3 of 12 in the books, how was it for yourself, your creativity and your productivity?
Another month is in the books and it is safe to say that I’ve been busy with myself and Two Geeks Talking. My goal this year was to appear as a guest on other people’s shows.
Why? Because I needed a change of pace. It’s great to interview these amazing people but, sometimes you just need to break out of old habits and try something new.
Here’s the shows I’ve been on in the last few months:

PBS Education Documentary
I’m a fan of PBS, and there have been many shows that I watched back as a kid and its continued tradition of highlighting and showcasing educational content is important.
I was contacted to be part of a Documentary of a long time friend Krishna Sadasivam. Graphic designer, comic creator of PC Weenies and more. He is now a University profession in digital design. A fellow student pitched this documentary and saw some of his old interviews and reached out.
Not sure when that will appear on PBSEDU, here’s Krishna’s most recent interview on the show:
Do you have an EGOT? Two Geeks Talking is half-way there
Over 15 years and the show has had over 1,200 interviews in that time. During which, we’ve interviewed an Emmy Award-Winner and now an Academy Award Winner.
All we need is a Grammy and Tony Award winners and we’ll be the first independent show to have an EGOT.
If anyone knows of anyone like this I’d love to connect with them comment below.
