✪ based in Ohio
During these changes, Syrinx developed The Geeks Come Out at Night to complement the station’s diverse offerings. The show invited guests from various fandoms for open discussions while engaging with a live chatroom audience. Each episode explored a different topic and included related songs and soundbites, adding a unique touch to the format. The show’s title was inspired by the song of the same name, recorded by Devo Spice and the great Luke Ski. With their permission, Syrinx used the track not only as the title but also as the show’s official theme song.
