Parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
We’ve reached the end of my “Vidcasts you should be watching” series. And I’m ending on one that’s by no means obscure, and that you’re probably quite familiar with. But it’s one that I insist you watch if you’ve haven’t given it a shot yet.

The last recommendation of this series is the weekly Totally Rad Show. At the end of the day, when I’m looking for something to entertain me, something to inform me, I look to TRS.

The show’s fantastic. I subscribe to a lot of vidcasts, as you’ve seen over the past week, and they’re varied in content and style. And TRS is my favorite. Read the rest of this entry »

Parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

I feel kind of weird recommending this one because, if you watching vidcasts, of course you’re already watching BBtv, right?

Right?

Just like anyone in their right mind already reads Boing Boing itself, if you’re at all interested in vidcasts, you positively must be watching BBtv. It’s covers the same kind of weird, unfamiliar yet utterly captivating side of the Internet and the world that BoingBoing revels in.

GeekBrief.TV is similar in content and format to the newer WebbAlert, but Cali Lewis gives the show a lighter, less formal style. You can’t help but smile along with her infectious laugh. The show’s slogan, even, is “shiny, happy tech news, with Cali Lewis.”

According to their website: “Geek Brief TV is a 3-5 minute video podcast, released 4-5 times a week. We cover news about technology, consumer electronics, and Web 2.0 projects.”

The show heavily features new and/or interesting products, and Cali’s casual demeanor gives an air of honesty that you don’t normally see when hosts discuss consumer electronics.

Today’s recommendation is Vegan A Go-Go.

Okay, so this one might not be for everyone. Cooking shows are kind of a love-it-or-hate-it thing I’ve found, but I tend to love them.

Trouble is, being vegan, most of the food prepared on, say, the Food Network, I’m unable to eat.

So Vegan A Go-Go is where I’ve turned for my fill of cooking-related programming.

Production values, sadly, are pretty low on this one. But, hey, it’s a cooking show. It’s about the food, right? And, yeah, the food looks fantastic.
Of course, you needn’t be vegetarian or vegan, or even a health nut, to appreciate this vidcast. Jess, the host, has prepared chocolate cake, no-bake cookies, a Moroccan chickpea stew, and a bunch of other dishes that would appeal to anyone who just loves food.

So if you’re a cooking show fan, Vegan A Go-Go is a treat. It doesn’t have the high-gloss look of a TV cooking show, and Jess seems to still be growing into her role as host, but the food and instructions more than make up for any production deficiencies.

Part 1, 2.

Martin Sargent is a brave man. You’ll find that out pretty quickly when you start watching Web Drifter.

Former Tech TV and G4 television personality, Sargent’s a practiced host with a quick wit (his interviewees often don’t notice that they’re being mocked) and the guts to visit some really, really strange people.

Part 1 in the series here.

WebbAlert is a week-daily vidcast hosted by the titular Morgan Webb, of G4’s X-Play fame.

The show’s been mentioned here on YMM a few times before.

Like Play:Digital, WebbAlert keeps it short, to the point, and entertaining. It’s a great vidcast if you feel you should keeping up with the online and tech news, but just don’t have the time to check dozens of RSS feeds. Morgan picks out a few important and/or interesting items and summarizes what you need to know.

Every day for a week or so I’ll be posting one or two recommendations for some of my favorite vidcasts. This is neither a countdown nor awards. Just a list of great vidcasts.

Play:Digital is a video game review show hosted by Katharine Fletcher on the Channel Flip network.

Unlike the 1UP Show, Play:Digital is short and to the point. Katharine doesn’t waste too much time on what the game’s really about, but gets right to the point of if it’s any good. She always weighs both its good points and bad so, even if you disagree with her score, you’ll understand why she came to her conclusion, and you’ll know whether you’ll have the same opinion of the game.

She’s both funny and well-informed, so the show’s entertaining even if you’ve no real interest in the game she’s discussing.
