The Totally Rad Show:
TRS was born in the depths of geek culture: at an epic game of Dungeons and Dragons in 2006. Host of Revision3’s “Diggnation” Alex Albrecht and former host of Revision3’s “Geekdrome” Dan Trachtenberg met Jeff Cannata, former Contra Costa Times video game columnist, at the D&D table and became fast friends. Intense debates over Star Wars characters, late night frag-fests in Gears of War, Heroes- and Lost-watching parties, and the sharing of dog-eared copies of Preacher graphic novels followed, leading the guys to one clear realization: This is the stuff we love. This stuff is totally rad. New episodes release every Tuesday.
