This week GeekMom Nicole Wakelin talks Doctor Who with her co-host from The Whoniverse podcast, Michael Gaines. Fans of The Doctor got so many new things in the Christmas special. There was a new companion, a new TARDIS and even a new intro for the series. Of course, in typical Doctor Who fashion, no one quite knows what's going on so Michael and Nicole try to sort out the facts. Join them for a wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey Doctor Who discussion.

GeekMom Nicole Wakelin talks with actress Kari Wahlgren who voices Allie on The Hub Network's Kaijudo: Rise of the Duel Masters. This animated series just aired their season finale and Kari talks about what it's like voicing a strong-willed character like Allie and what to expect in the next season. She also shares advice for kids who hope to someday be the voice of an animated character.

Plenty of kids have put video games and consoles on their wish lists this year. If you're a gamer parent, then you know what your kid can handle, but if you're not, how do you know what's okay? Not all games are created equal, even with the same E or T rating and it's confusing if you don't play them yourself. In this episode GeekMom Nicole Wakelin is joined by her husband, Russ Wakelin of The D6 Generation Podcast, who's come up with a great way to help non-gamer parents figure out just which games will make them and their kids happy.

In this episode, GeekMom Nicole Wakelin gets to do a face-to-face interview with the kids on the Lemelson-MIT InvenTeam from Nashua North High School in Nashua, New Hampshire. They started working on a bacteria powered battery at the end of last year and have just received a grant to make it a reality. She talks with some of the kids on the team as well as their advisors about how they developed their idea, what they're going to do next, and how other kids can foster their love of science and invention from grade school right through college.

GeekMom editors Natania Barron and Kathy Ceceri join Nicole Wakelin to talk about their new book, GeekMom: Projects, Tips and Adventures for Moms and Their 21st-Century Families, which has just arrived in bookstores! They share the story of how they got started with GeekMom and how the book made its way into print. You'll also hear about their favorite projects and how each of their individual geek obsessions is reflected in the stories and tips they chose to include.

It's all Nicole, all the time as GeekMom Nicole Wakelin is joined by the fabulous Nicole Spagnuolo of the Ladies of Leet podcast. They've both been gaming since long before they had kids and have no intention of stopping any time soon. Still, it can be a challenge balancing Mom time and kid time and deciding how to share their passion for gaming. How young is too young for Halo? How much gaming is too much? They talk about their experiences as gamer moms who hope to raise gamer kids.

It's been about two years since we all heard the story of little Katie who was bullied by the boys at school because she carried a Star Wars water bottle. Practically overnight the geek community came to her aid, offering support and encouragement for Katie and for everyone who's been the target of bullying.

Katie's Mom, Carrie Goldman, has become a spokesperson for the anti-bullying movement. She's first and foremost a parent and her new book, Bullied: What Every Parent, Teacher And Child Needs To Know About Ending The Cycle Of Fear, combines that experience with an extensive amount of research. This is truly a must-read for all parents, but especially for those whose children are dealing with the affects of bullying targeting them and their friends.

Listen as GeekMom Nicole Wakelin talks with Carrie about how we can help kids stop bullying, teach them to help each other when it happens, and most importantly, create an environment where bullying is simple not acceptable.

October is a month of cosplay and costumes with kids and adults having fun pretending to be their favorite characters. But what about adults who like to dress up and cosplay for more than just Halloween? Clinical Psychologist Andrea Letamendi joins GeekMom Nicole Wakelin to talk about cosplay. Is it healthy? Is it okay for adults to become so immersed in pretending to be someone else? Andrea also speaks to the negative stereotypes associated with the hobby from her point of view as both a Clinical Psychologist and an avid cosplayer.

It's tough fitting in as a kid but it can feel impossible if you're a geeky kid. Your kids might be into less mainstream things because you're a geeky parent or because they happened to gravitate toward fantasy or science fiction all on their own. Either way, it can leave them feeling like no one "gets them." Actress and writer Jessica Mills has been there as a geek kid growing up in rural Texas. She even turned some of her experiences as an adult into the hit web series Awkward Embraces. Listen in as she talks about her challenges, how she overcame them, and how parents can help their kids feel like they're not weird and find a place where they belong.

If you were lucky, then last weekend you were in Florida enjoying the wonder of Celebration VI in Orlando. One of those lucky people was geek blogger Amy Ratcliffe. She covers all sorts of geekery on her blog, Geek With Curves, and is just about the biggest Star Wars fan ever. Listen in as GeekMom Nicole Wakelin talks with Amy who shares all the details from Roxie the Rancor, to a stint in the garbage chute to what it was like being in the same room as George Lucas!
