Episode 269 - TV Guide...the other Good Book

What book can you find in every hotel room?  The Bible.  What's the other book you usually find ......?   A TV Guide, or cable guide.  Today on GeekFest Rants, Carlos and James look back at another one of their publishing obsessions from their childhood...TV Guide.  This was not just a means of figuring out what to watch on TV but somewhat of an entertainment mini magazine, a collector's item, and an iconic publication that tried to keep up with the changing times.
