I first downloaded Two geeks a mic and a podcast, that leaded me to Geekintertaiment, and I tried to type that on google and then i got Geeknights, it was that simple. :P
I was at the Otakon 2006 Podcast panel and that's how I found out about Geek Nights.
I was the guy that stood in front of the speaker with the microphone on. I apologize for that, I was very tired that morning and didn't realize where I was standing. I was in a bit of a daze.
You can blame the Ninja Consultants. I was listening to their podcast about Otakon and they mentioned the assassination attempt. I decided to listen on your podcast for more details about Daryl from AWO trying to kill you two and I realized the here was a pretty cool podcast that covered all sorts of cool stuff I was interested in.
I saw an ad that wasn't too flashy on the flyer table at AnimeNEXT and decided "what the hell it might be worth listen to" so since then I have listened to every episode.
I first heard of this podcast when the "Movies You Should See" podcast ( http://moviesyoushouldsee.libsyn.com/rss ) started saying how you were the only podcast they ever listened to . I headed straight on over and have been working my way through your archives ever since :)
I was on iTunes in Nov 05 when I first bought an iPod, and one of my NCOs told me about podcasts, and I did a search for "Geek" and this was one of them that came up. Then I searched for "Comics" and it came up again, so I decided to download it. Of the first 15 I downloaded, this is one of 2 that I still listen too. The other being "Geekdrone".
I've had my ipod mini for about two years but this is the first podcast I've started listening to regularly (it's only been a week yet though ^^).
A forum post got me interested in podcasting as I realised there were people out there discussing topics I'm interested in, mainly anime and manga. Also, I'd been working on my Rising Stars of Manga for ages and ages, and I was running out of good stuff to listen to.
The first podcast I tried was Mangacast, but I soon found GeekNights. The rest is one-week-old history...
I originally found GeekNights while searching for anime podcasts on Yahoo podcasts, but the front page didn't looks anime related so I though yahoo had messed up and I moved on. The podcast game up again while searching for video game podcasts so I added GN to my podcast reciever and listened to the latest episode.. but it was about boardgames which didn't interest me so again I moved on.. but I forgot to remove the feed so I kept on automatically downloading episodes. A few weeks later while cleaning out my computer to free up some hard drive space I noticed you guys did an episode on Master Keaton, one of my favorite shows of all time. That is how GN got itself another fan, third time is the charm I suppose.
I started off by listening to Otaku Generation. From there, I heard about Anime World Order on OG's 1 year old podcast, so I started listening to them. In one AWO episode (can't remember which one, sorry), a GeekNights thing played, and I was intriuged. I just started listening a few weeks ago (from iTunes) and have been hooked since.
Actually, Mookie, the guy who writes Dominic Deegan linked to Geeknights' roundtable at Otakon on his LJ so fans could hear him. I followed the link, and listened to another show, laughed so hard I nearly peed and decided I'd keep listening.
AWO played your.....promo thing, and so did Anime Pulse, so I heard of it though them, which was cool. AWO mentioned some kind of...um whatever you guys have going with them. They mentioned it, so I poked my nose in, found you guys funny, and stuck around.
I heard of Geeknights via Mark Johnson's board gaming podcast "Boardgames to Go" (http://www.boardgamestogo.com). Board gamers should give it a listen!
Word of mouth. I was at my friend Sarah's house and was looking at her list of podcasts. She told me that yours was a good show and that she was sad that she didn't have much time free to listen to it.
I listened to the Tuesday and Wednesday shows only for a while, then I pointed iTunes to the full stream and have enjoyed the Thursday and Monday shows as well.
I actually followed a link on Aido's LJ and listened to the Webcomics Roundtable from a while back. Now I'm up to May in the archives (been listening while I paint my wall mural which is going to be awesome) and here I am on the forums...
I'm pretty keen on podcasts now. I don't have an Mp3 player though so I have to listen at the computer. Bit of a shame given my one hour each way commute to uni each day. Been listening to Artist's Alley too. :D Thanks for mentioning it, guys!
I was sitting at my computer with my Firefox browser open and I hit Stumble. The site that came up, the name escapes me now, had a link to a thing called "Geeknights" I thought "Huh. That looks interesting", I clicked the link and I've been hooked ever since.
I heard about it from Mookie, who was in the round table from Otakon. That, in and of itself, was pretty damn amusing to listen to, so now, every Friday, I devote like 4 hours to listening to the archives. XD
Um.. I invited you guys to SITACon. I think Aaron from Weeklyanimereview.com recommended that I invite you guys. I'm glad I did: you guys are pretty awesome dudes. Makes me kinda wish I had gone to RIT to see you guys in your senior year.
Back in July, I was looking for a good podcast on gaming at one of the big directory sites. What I ended up with was something far better for me (and easier on my teeth). The first story I had the pleasure of hearing was of Scott's drive back from the beach (20060704 show). Need I say more?
I meet Rym and Scott and none other than SITACon 2006. My group and I where in the vendor area taking photos. Ya we were that nutty Caffeinated Lifestyle bunch.
By the way we have photos of the convention online for your viewing goodness: SITACon 2006 Photos.
I hope to make this the first podcast that I keep up with as Rym and Scott are great guys and extremely entertaining.
I bought an ipod earlier this year and instantly downloaded all the music I had onto it. I listened to music non-stop til about the last month or so and decided expand my horizon of what I listen to. I downloaded a bunch of episodes of anime, movie, music pod casts but have only found a few that I enjoy and listen to on a regular basis. Geek Nights is my favorite for anime and I've decided to subscribe to all nights of GN talk. Keep the fun going guys!

I did a search in iTunes for gaming podcasts and this one showed up... It was a while later before I found out it was nightly and not weekly...

After Geeknights, natch.

It's so different, but still, so amusing.
