The Woot Podcast Ought to be in Pictures

[RSS FEED]

This week marks a big change for the Woot Podcast: Weâ??re going to video!

Thatâ??s right, starting today, the Woot Podcast transmogrifies into a once-weekly moving picture presentation you can watch every Monday from the comfort of your own home, cubicle, university library, or anywhere the Internet is found!

This weekâ??s episode features Mortimer & Monte, but future installments may include more â??Real Actual Field Tests,â?? video versions of â??Happy Snacking!â?? recipes, and occasionally even an on-screen appearance by a member of the Podcast Team. (Thatâ??ll be a courageous achievement, considering theyâ??re all significantly handicapped in the looks department.)

We didnâ??t make this change capriciously. Shoot, for almost five years weâ??ve produced an audio-only podcast, convinced online video was a passing fad. Then we saw that Keyboard Cat, though, and the writing was on the wall. It said â??Intrenet vidz r here 2 stay LOLOL!!!!!â??

Weâ??re excited to explore the possibilities of another medium, and we hope youâ??ll enjoy the Woot Podcast 2.0 every bit as much as you did the original, audio-only version. Unless you hated the original, audio-only podcast with the white-hot intensity of a thousand suns, in which case we hope youâ??ll enjoy this version slightly better.

We understand change can be painful, so hereâ??s a coping strategy for those seven or eight of you who were sentimentally attached to the way the Woot Podcast used to be: Simply close your eyes during the video and itâ??ll seem exactly like the old audio version.
