In the 21st century, audio storytelling, one of the oldest forms of entertainment, experienced a remarkable resurgence, giving birth to the new medium and industry of podcasting. This documentary delves into this revival, offering insights into the history and impact of audio storytelling as it evolves.
Before the rise of big tech, social media and Marvel movies, Attack of the Show! chronicled the rise of nerd culture. G4TV's flagship show launched the careers of hosts Olivia Munn and Kevin Pereira and was beloved by fans! But what really happened?
This live set, containing twenty of Jonathan Coulton’s most popular songs, was filmed in February 2008 in front of a sold out crowd at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco, California.
The Screen Savers is an American TV show that aired on TechTV. The show launched concurrently with the channel ZDTV on May 11, 1998. The Screen Savers originally centered around computers, new technologies, and their adaptations in the world. However, after it was taken over by G4, the show became more general-interest oriented and focused somewhat less on technology. The final episode of The Screen Savers aired on March 18, 2005. Repeat episodes continued to air until March 25, 2005 when its replacement program, Attack of the Show! began 3 days later on March 28, 2005. Two spiritual successors to the Screen Savers are in the form of This Week in Tech on the TWiT Network with Leo Laporte and Tekzilla on Revision3 with Patrick Norton.
