The Master of Awkward Interviews, Madeline Minx

Revision3 Beta has seven web shows vying for a spot on Revision3’s show list. Out of the seven, the Minx Mandate is the most promising and worth subscribing to on iTunes. Madeline Minx is the quirky, always awkward, host of the show and the people she interviews are always unsuspecting. I’m not going to explain the show because I obviously can’t give it the justice it deserves. The second episode is embedded below.

What do you think of the show? Would you want Revision3 to pick it up as an official show?

Podcast: You Look Nice Today

During the summer many podcasts tend to slow production or even go on hiatus. I encounter this problem every summer and I’m always looking for a podcast to fill the void. While watching TWiT Live a couple weeks ago I heard Leo talk about Merlin Mann’s new podcast, You Look Nice Today, and I didn’t consider listening to it because I find much of Merlin Mann’s stuff a tad boring. Not until I saw You Look Nice Today in the top ten comedy section of iTunes did I decide to give it a listen.

From first listen I’ve fallen for this podcast. YLNT is simply three, very witty guys talking about nearly everything. It’s hard to put a pin on what they talk about but it’s nothing like any other podcast. For example, the guys were considering renting a store where they would sell Christmas trees, but only out of season would they sell the trees.

The podcast has no advertising, no gadget news, no movie news. It reminds me of the casual conversations I’ve had with friends late at night. This isn’t like any other podcast I’ve heard before and YLNT could easily take the place of a subscribe podcast.
