Cranky Geeks is a technology-related Internet show produced by Ziff Davis Media centered on discussion of technology topics of the week. It is hosted by industry pundit John C. Dvorak. West-coast editor of PC Magazine Sebastian Rupley is introduced as "co-crank", and serves as both a weekly panelist and editor selecting the week's topics. Each week two guest panelists, usually selected from a pool of technology journalists and entrepreneurs, join Dvorak and Rupley.
The show, formerly produced by TechTV's Annaliza Savage, premiered to viewers of DL.TV on March 15, 2006 and has since received its own website. The show is similar to Dvorak's previous show, Silicon Spin.
It is streamed live weekly on Wednesdays at 3:30p.m. ET/12:30p.m. PT from the Ziff Davis office in San Francisco, California. In addition, it is offered for download in multiple formats on a weekly basis, including as a video or audio podcast on iTunes.
Show guests have included Martin Sargent, Neil Gaiman, Om Malik, Larry Lessig, Leo Laporte, Veronica Belmont, Jimmy Wales, Alex Albrecht, Molly Wood, and Kevin Rose. Dvorak has humorously mentioned his intention to invite Danica Patrick, the IndyCar driver endorsing Go Daddy, one of the show's sponsors, whose commercial airs in every episode.
