Web Series Creators Should Listen To New Mediacracy

I listen to many startup, marketing, filmmaking, and video production podcast shows on my iPod Touch. One of my very favorite video production shows with many elite web series creators and producers, is New Mediacracy with hosts Chris McCaleb and Bernie Su.

New Mediacracy is a casual conversation in the form of an audio podcast about the world of web video featuring industry producers, directors, writers, and other content creators.

I would advise anyone in the web series industry to regularly tune in and subscribe to this show on iTunes because it’s highly entertaining, informative, and inspirational!

New Mediacracy # 13 The One About the IAWTV

On this week's episode of New Mediacracy, hosts Chris McCaleb, Zadi Diaz, and Steve Woolf are joined by Casey McKinnon and Rudy Jahchan from A Comicbook Orange, Brett Register from The Crew and A Good Knight's Quest, Barrett Garese from Spytap, and Tony Valenzuela from Harper's Globe and The Phil DeFranco Show. As always New Mediacracy is less about being a structured podcast and more about a group of people discussing various topics, much like the Victorian philosophy groups but with less drinking and fewer orgies. Therefore, a rough outline of the various topics is below in order to make it easier to follow along, because if one is interested in the functioning of the IAWTV it is worth the time.

The episode is available for streaming at the show's website or the MP3 can be downloaded directly from here.
