Geeks at Play episodes are our special actual-play productions. In this adventure contestants from all over the cosmos conceal their alien traits and compete in the Miss Universe pageant. Their goal is to blend in, strut their stuff, show their skills, and be crowned as Earth’s prettiest human. Too bad they skimped on their research. Will they blow their cover, or can they fool the audience into believing that they are really one of us? Joining us for an out of this world wacky one-shot are our friends from the Min/Max podcast, Allen Mowers, Ashley Mowers, and Kyle Stainbrook!
