What is GW1?

Geek Watch One started as a weekly podcast covering all things geek! Hosts Kylan, Ken, Vicky and Dawn (also the web goddess) cover everything from Star Wars to Doctor Who, Marvel and DC to gaming and books, big cons to local events. Our final weekly issue posted on February 1, 2023, but we’re still around to provide geekness on Facebook, Instagram and our website!

GW1Crew1

Kylan Toles is an international geek of mystery. Well, maybe not international and perhaps not so mysterious, but he is definitely a full blown geek. His favorite comic book characters are Nightwing, Luke Cage and Daredevil; he loves action movies from kung fu to Bond to superheroes; he’s into scifi fantasy too, everything from steampunk to Star Wars; and he’s always up for a game, especially the table top variety. He is also a staff member and panel organizer for the geek fest known as Oddmall and northeast Ohio’s premier gaming convention Con on the Cob. Kylan writes our Irregular’s Intel blog and you can follow him on Twitter as @bluesman1103or catch his YouTube channel, Wholesale Violence With Kylan.

Ken Rose is a mild mannered geek by day and indy wrestling sensation by night. His major fandom is Star Wars (and he’ll always have the latest news at the ready on the show), but he also loves comics (leaning heavily toward DC), table top and computer gaming, anime and action movies. Follow him on twitter as @GW1Ken.

Vicky Rose may seem like the quiet type, but those are the ones you need to look out for. A viking in a past life, this queen of distractions will do what it takes to derail Ken and Kylan from their trains of thought, all in good fun. She loves anime, Star Wars, gaming and movies. Vicky is on Twitter as @ViktoriaAnnRose.

Dawn Toles is an eclectic she-geek disguised as a polite Canadian ex-pat. This web goddess handles Geek Watch One’s online presence and social media accounts. A lover of books, comics, paranormal and more, her main fandoms are Doctor Who, Disney and Marvel. She helps out with Con on the Cob, often assisting Kylan on panels. Dawn writes our She Geek Critique blog and can also be found on her YouTube channel, She Geek Dawn.

Bloggers

Along with blogs from Kylan and Miss Dawn, we have occasional bloggers who add to our geekness.

Nicole (aka Gotham Gal) is a devoted comic fan and our West Coast Correspondant. Reading comics from an early age (TinTin, Archie, Katie Keene and much more), she has recently revisited her old interest and is branching out into the streets of unread comics and graphic novels! While she favors DC comics, Marvel is slowly winning her over—but Vertigo, Image and IDW have so many new things to offer, she might just say she’s a comic fan—with no labels. She fights for literature, education and the right for ALL to read comics! She writes our Gotham Gal West Coast blog.
