We at Geek I/O would like to address the slanderous tweets and postings that have been directed at our team in recent days. Recently, we decided to cut ties with Lou Gagliardi and his show CanterCast due a breach of contract. It has come to our attention that Mr. Gagliardi has been making comments that the Geek I/O staff “have people that actively talk about other people's dogs being put down for no reason” as seen in his tweet on April 15, 2013 at 7:36PM from his personal twitter account (@lougagliardi) which was retweeted on his CanterCast professional account (@CantercastShow) (https://twitter.com/lougagliardi/status/323988359301185536). All of us here at Geek I/O have pets (whether cats, dogs, birds, fish, etc.) and we would never wish an animal ill!
This aside, Mr. Gagliardi has tweeted that certain members of the Geek I/O staff should “go slit their wrists” and this type of public slander of our team members is a huge breach of the contract that he signed when he was brought onto the Geek I/O network of PodCasts. As Mr. Gagliardi was still on a probationary period at this time it was decided unanimously that his actions were unacceptable and his continued work within Geek I/O Studios was terminated immediately.
We apologize to our fans and followers for how this has affected them in recent days.
