Thanks for coming back, Sartorial Geeks! This week we’re chatting with JPG, the owner of Geek Say What? Network. Geek Say What? Network is a collection of podcasts, websites, and social media outlets that connect with nerds at all levels. They speak to “Beginner Geeks” as well as “Pop Culture Experts” while highlighting the introduction, engagement, and intellectualism of geek and pop culture. Basically, they have something for everyone!

The Thirteenth Doctor’s costume had to be exceptional, while also balancing an almost impossible set of contradictions. It had to reflect the character’s history, while also letting the first woman Doctor stand out on her own. It had to be grounded in women’s fashion, while also navigating its political and practical pitfalls. It had to be a little odd and a little offbeat to be true to the Doctor, while also serving as the cornerstone of a rebranding effort that could be duplicated, packaged, and sold around the world.

Welcome back, Sartorial Geeks! This week, we sat down to chat with Robyn Warren of Geek Girl Strong! If you’ve listened to episode 3 and/or 16, you’re probably familiar with Robyn and her career as a personal trainer and wellness coach. (Or maybe you just recognize her as a Jordandené model!)

Today, we’re talking all things self-care. You’ve heard of it, haven’t you? In fact, you’ve probably scrolled past a myriad of #selfcare posts on your social media feeds. Most showing a glamorized version of the act that involves everything from expensive bubble baths to month-long vacations.

While that’s great for the people who want to go that route, that’s not all self-care is!

The idea of Artificial Intelligence or “A.I.” may not be as recent of a concept as you think. For nearly 100 years, the film industry has been coming out with a number of onscreen representations of artificial intelligence. These A.I. characters are both big and small and can be good or evil. They vary from the anthropomorphic to the clearly robotic. You’re probably well-acquainted with beloved popular A.I. figures like R2-D2 and WALL-E, but are you familiar with the first robot protagonist or the first-ever instance of A.I. on the silver screen?
