You're going to be. The Welcome to the Geeks Guide to the Galaxy,ed by John Joseph Adams and David Barr

currently. Hi, this is Dave.

And this is John.

And welcome to episode 16 of Geek's Guide to the Galaxy.

Today we'll be interviewing Jonathan Colton.

He's a singer-songwriter.

Sings about a lot of cool geeky topics such as being a programmer and zombies and

being a mad scientist being a mad evil mad scientist in the future and stuff like that if you you're not familiar with his music, you should definitely go check it out.

I think it's all available for free online. That's one of the things he did to rise to fame. It he actually released a song for free online every week and you know built up a following that way so that's that's really interesting to and we'll be talking to him about that. He also wrote some of the music for Valve software for Portal.

And then stick around after the interview when John and I will be talking about music for geeks and being a geek listening to music and stuff like that.

All right, let's get Jonathan on the phone.

Hello? Hi, this is Dave and John from Geek's Guide to the Galaxy.

Hey, how are you guys?

Good.

Thanks for joining us on the show.

Of course.

Thank you for having me.

So first of all, what sort of geeky interests did you have growing up?

I was always into video games and computers.

You know I had, I remember my dad coming home with Pong, that first home edition of Pong.

And, you know, from there I had every console that came out up until now.

So that's been pretty consistent.
