Here’s Some Awesome is a collaborative effort by the following:
Liz Shannon Miller (Mondays) has been called the Pauline Kael of online video by at least one person, having covering the online video space since 2006. She has been published by the New York Times, Variety, GigaOM, The Wrap and many other publications, and once took over the front page of YouTube with her web series picks. Based in Los Angeles, she currently writes for G4′s Attack of the Show, and contributes to GigaOM‘s coverage of the online video universe.
Kenyatta Cheese (Tuesdays) creates projects that merge content, code, and community. Past projects include the community site and web series Know Your Meme.
Barrett Garese (Wednesdays) thinks that the internet is a magical creature, not unlike a unicorn. In a previous life, Barrett helped create United Talent Agency’s online division — the first major agency division devoted to representing and monetizing online content. Later, he formed a company called Spytap Industries which does a number of different things in social media, online content and advanced technologies. He also doesn’t believe in the existence of Guam, frequently referring to it as “The Narnia of the Pacific.”
Felicia Williams (Thursdays) programmed the Featured Videos for several YouTube categories and the homepages of YouTube.com and YouTube.ca. After YouTube, Felicia worked as Director of Creative Development at Next New Networks where she developed $99 Music Videos, Beyond the Trailer, and the Next New Creators program. She most recently held the position of Director of Partner Programming at Revision3 where she used her web savvy to help external producers integrate sponsorships, build viewership, and make awesome digital programming.
