GeekBeat.TV
Geek Beat is one of the world’s most recognizable tech news brands, delivering a daily news show hosted by Cali Lewis at least three times a week, as well as a weekly LIVE show every Friday at 3pm CST co-hosted by Cali and John P.
Host, Cali Lewis
An early podcasting pioneer, Cali Lewis began covering tech news online immediately after the release of the first video iPod. She knew it was revolutionary, and expected people would need content for the new format. That’s exactly what happened!
Cali Lewis has become a household name in the tech industry and her podcasts have been viewed hundreds of millions of times over the last six years. She’s also a noted industry commentator with regular appearances on BBC, CNN, FOX, ABC, NBC, MSNBC, Sirius, and as both a keynote speaker and panel participant at industry events.
She’s also the President of Livid Lobster, Inc, Geek Beat’s parent company. You can find out more about the company (and of course where the name came from!) at LividLobster.com.

Co-Host, John Pozadzides
Yep, that’s why we call him John “P.”! John P. is the co-host for Geek Beat LIVE and a regular host on the Geek Beat Daily Show. On the LIVE show he’s not just the comedic relief, he knows what he’s talking about, and he’s unpredictable… Did we mention he plays with fire a little too much?
John is Livid Lobster’s Chief Executive, which means we rely on him to keep the lights on, the cameras rolling and green M&Ms in Cali’s bowl!
He’s an experienced executive who retired from the corporate world so he could travel around and focus on the things he loves. Oh, and he runs a little blog you may have heard of called One Man’s Blog.

Looks like a great crew! I’ll make sure to give you all some traffic if you note a topic of interest which to me is usually “about” everything!
great team Cali.
Cali,
You have assembled a Dream Team!
Keep up the great work.

Holy crap! I was sad to see GeekBrief go, and assumed you would come back, but how did I miss the release of GeekBeat?! Glad to see you back in action. I just downloaded the first 16 episodes for the commute home.
Between Information Literacy meetings, pHp and Ruby on Rails wrangling, I’ll help drive the data-metrics by being present for as many of these as my schedule allows. Promise. ^..^~
What channel are you on at Sirius XM so I can listen while I drive???
Ciao,
