Original Geek

Original Geek is the podcast for Gen X geeks who rolled their first D20 on shag carpet and still argue over who shot first.

Hosted by stand-up comic and lifelong nerd Steve Scarfo and the Forever DM Jeff Shaw, Original Geek dives into the sci-fi, fantasy, and comic book culture we grew up with—and how it's evolved. Each episode explores the worlds of Star Wars, Star Trek, Marvel, Dungeons & Dragons, and more—with plenty of sarcasm, nostalgia, and side quests along the way.

Whether you're still rolling dice, quoting Galaxy Quest, or mourning the MCU’s golden age, this show brings the basement back—no gatekeeping, just geek pride.

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.
