Video Podcast to Watch: Midwest Teen Sex Show

The Midwest Teen Sex Show is a great example of how you can produce quality content using nothing more that a couple of friends, a great idea and brilliant writing. I have been watching this show since episode 3 and suddenly a bunch of new episodes showed up in my RSS reader, so I just got another dose, and it is still quality.

Now, be warned, the Midwest Teen Sex Show is not for the weak of heart, as this show talks about sex in a very frank and up-front manner that would make some people very uncomfortable. Frank and up-front are the key terms here, so be warned. With that said, I find this show very, very funny and super clever. Almost every episode I have thought to myself, "no, they did not just say/do that". Very cutting edge in the presentation of the material.

This show is like a 1964 Sex Education film mashed with that one scene from National Lampoon's Vacation. You know the scene, with the kids, in the Midwest, and that question? Yeah, THAT ONE.

Anyway, if you want to see video blogging / User created content that is done the right way, go and check out the Midwest Teen Sex Show. I wish all of America was this enlightened.

Mahalo Daily

A new video podcast has launched this week. Mahalo Daily. Mahalo.com is the new “Human Powered” search engine from Jason Calacanis. So the question is “Do we really need another show about Internet Culture?”. The answer is yes! I feel there is lots of room for more video shows about all the weird crap that you can find on the internet. Especially now that Rocketboom has “moved on” and doing their own content. We need more internet culture podcasts as long as each video podcast reports on things that the other video podcasts aren’t reporting. So far it seems that Mahalo Daily is doing just that and not just copying the same info you can find on any of the popular blogs. The best thing about Mahalo Daily is the intro. Without a doubt Mahalo Daily has the best intro of any show. The animation is killer and I love the Hawaiian music. I also like the fact that the show is embeded in the RSS feed so you can download it to your portable device. I actually left a comment on Jason's blog and asked if he could do that. I guess he listened!

If you are looking for something new to check out, I would recommend Mahalo Daily, as it seems to be pretty slick.

Rosie O' Donnell, Videoblogger

Did you know that Rosie O' Donnell has her own video blog? It is true, not only does she have her own video blog, but she posts often, unlike some celebrities that have long since stopped posting (Darrel Hanna, I am looking at you).

So, what does Rosie vlog about? Pretty much the same thing as everyone vlogs about. What she does on her free time. Her paintings, her daughter, her adventures to the Zoo. The difference is that it is Rosie O'Donnell, and she is a pro. Being funny helps also, but she is not always funny. Sometimes she is tired, annoyed or happy, just like anyone. I also like that we get to see some of the issues she is faced with, like having to replace the OS on her mac. It reminds me of the US magazine section "Stars are just like US!", but instead of celebrates buying groceries, they have to deal with the headache of reinstalling your operating system. You go geek girl Rosie!
