Jeff Shaw

Raised on Saturday morning cartoons, 20-sided dice, and the golden age of MTV, I'm a proud Gen Xer who never outgrew the things that made childhood magical. From comic books and fantasy epics to Star Wars, Star Trek, and every pixel of classic video games, I’ve been geeking out since before it was cool.

A former theater kid turned public educator, I now work in Talent Management for a global retail giant—still telling stories, just on a different stage. I'm married to my soul mate (also an OG), and together we explore the world one fandom and one passport stamp at a time.

The OG Podcast is where nostalgia meets now—celebrating the geeky greatness of the '70s, '80s, and '90s while keeping an eye on the next big thing. Whether you're a fellow Gen Xer or just geek-curious, welcome to the tribe.

Steve Scarfo

A 25+ year veteran of the Boston comedy scene with a voice that’s been forged in front of hecklers, jaded Red Sox fans, and every dive bar with a mic and a spotlight. First noticed by The Boston Globe after his debut set, Steve brings high energy, sharp timing, and a twisted take on the world around him.

As one of the hosts of Original Geek, Steve channels his lifelong obsessions—comic books, sci-fi, Dungeons & Dragons, and ‘80s nostalgia—into a smart, sarcastic, and relatable podcast for grown-up geeks who never really grew up.

He's shared stages with legends like Dave Coulier, Jeff Dunham, Victoria Jackson, and Lenny Clarke. His face has popped up in everything from The Departed and The Fighter to a Red Sox World Series commercial and an A&E reality show.

Now, he’s bringing those storytelling chops—and his basement-born geek cred—to the mic each week, proving that the geeks really have inherited the earth
