Society Game Preview
"Society Game," the new show from the production staff of The Genius, is here! Sort of! If you're in South Korea, it's here. If you're in the US, you're waiting for the subtitled versions.  No matter! Scott and Mike explain the rules and analyze the 22 players competing in "Society Game," which somehow feels like more than the 24 who began Australian Survivor.  And don't forget to follow us on Twitter: @scottdoesmagic and @michaelbotta. Fighting!

Youhyun Dennis Kim Interview
Youhyun (that's Dennis to you) chats with Scott about seasons three and four of The Genius and provides tons of new information. Whose fault was the Jury Game criminals mishap? Is Dongmin really THAT good? What really happened in Loyalists and Rebels? How did Jinho get production to not use footage he didn't want on the show? All that and so, so, so much more in an action-packed 72 minutes of podcasting gold, so says Geniuscast. SUBSCRIBE ON ITUNES: Search the iTunes store for "GeniusCast."SUBSCRIBE ELSEWHERE: Here's the RSS feed (or search for "GeniusCast" in your podcasting app of choice): http://geniuscast.podbean.com/feed/DOM AND COLIN: As Dennis and I discussed, there's another excellent Genius podcast out there: "The Dom and Colin Podcast."
