Digital Podcast Features Goodnight Burbank See Details

Goodnight Burbank is…
GNB is a fictional newscast where the news is real - and everything else isn’t. We go behind the scenes and between the headlines to see not just how the news is presented but what reporters really think about the stuff they’re reporting. It’s what happens when anchors stop being pretty and start being pretty dysfunctional.

Hayden Black is…
I am a writer/producer and occasional performer who put together a collective of actors/performers/comics from LA who I met at the Upright Citizen’s Brigade.

If you like … you will like our podcast
If you like the Daily Show, the Office and/or Sportsnight you will like our vidcast. If you don’t like character driven, clever comedy then you’re probably better off watching something on YouTube.

We podcast …
We podcast because it’s a great way of being creative and not having to answer to anyone else. Goodnight Burbank in particular is a fantastic, carthartic way of discussing and laughing at the news we see on our TVs every day.

We podcast from …
We podcast from Los Angeles.

We will produce … podcasts this year
We will produce 32 podcasts this year, give or take. It’s an expensive venture - we use green screen technology, HD cameras, etc, and as we’re funding this ourselves we’re not in and out of the studio as often as we’d like. If you’d like to donate production expenses, PLEASE do. We’ll mention your name at least once.

We listen to podcasts on …
We listen to podcasts on…um, is this the bit where we plug the Digital Podcast site? If so, then it’s definitely right here. But also iTunes, our iPods and on show-specific sites.

To make our podcast, we use …
To make our podcast, we use blood, sweat, and Tums. We cut on Avid. And because our new Editor has a cat, I personally have to now make our show on Benedryl because I’m allergic.
By the end of 2006, we think…
By the end of 2006, I think we will have a much larger audience and a much better show. Each time we shoot I strive to make it better than the last time - from scripts to performances. We will never rest on our laurels. Even though I don’t think any of us owns any laurels.

Lost in the middle of the Pacific, we would have these three podcasts with us … Lost in the middle of the Pacific, I would have these three podcasts with us: French Maid TV (because producer Tim Street is a really hip cat - a cat I’m not allergic to), Spainful (because Conrad is England’s second coolest vidcaster) and a third one to be on rotation from within the LA Podcasters community
