The next best thing to experiencing something yourself is to hear people talk about their interests, sharing their experiences and stories. And the best stories are those that come from passion - striving to overcome obstacles on your way to succeeding in your chosen field, funny anecdotes, hardships endured. "Release The Geek" is our weekly forum to chat to people who are geeky about something - they could be successful, semi-so, or on their way to achieving a level of it but they've all got one thing in common - passion. Can't replicate it. And we want to share their experiences, their hurdles, their stories with the greater geek populace (or anyone who would care to).

episode 11: RTG Presents: Urbane Myths Episode 11 - Introctrination and the Veld School Experience
The idea behind veld schools was to take the city children into the clean air and let them live a controlled adventure outside of their comfort zones. It's only later, in hindsight, that I noticed the agenda that was being serviced by adults I was supposed to trust. In this episode, Les and I take a look back at those days in the bush and how authority tried its best to wash a few brains.
