Did I just get a name check in this video? I didn't explode....maybe I was supposed to?

The whole laid back approach to this interview just made it much more enjoyable for me. The content was solid, but I really enjoyed seeing Pando's 2 Senior members going back and forth using the FlipPhone. Personally, as an audience member, I felt like I was eavesdropping on your conversation, and the whole interview had a 'modern' fireside chat feel. I really hope you two continue with this bit and continue bringing the fun and your candid opinions.

Not a writer, but enjoying the discussion and banter. Just like reality tv, you can't help but be drawn to the human drama.

Great video. Best WITN so far. (At least the audio was quite nicely listenable. :) I think all great content destinations have a posture, a tone and a style, and so far PandoDaily has done a fantastic job. Clearly the most entertaining tech site...which is what was great (though occasionally annoying) about the "old" TC. Either one is superior I guess to...boring. To comment specifically on your video, I've been involved in online media on a small scale from both editorial and web developer perspectives (and both hiring or being hired) for a long time, and I can attest to the fact that this notion that you could actually, like, you know, make a living in online media is definitely rare. It is a huge breath of fresh air what you both (Sarah and Paul) doing here. I await the results down the road very very eagerly. I also must admit to being one of those people that has gotten people to write posts for free or very little -- not because I think screwing writers is fine, but because any money to pay them was essentially out of pocket. (And I have small pockets.) The mega funding PD has to pursue this vision is a real blessing and in a way I'm envious. Keep the WITN episodes coming! -Jared White

I like the points about asking for editing and a second set of eyes. As you write regularly, you become keenly aware of how easily people can misunderstand or misinterpret something. A good writer shoulders more responsibility in this case, to do their best to ensure that their writing is clear and direct while still being engaging. (I've had 14 people read this comment and not one of them can understand what I'm on about.)

Just wanted to take a moment to say that you guys are awesome! I enjoy listening to both of you guys shoot the shit! Keep it coming, I'll keep listening!

You are hot. I meant you.

Once again you've released the only podcast I can stomach listening to... Keep up the great work!

The contents of the podcast is good but the quality of the production shows that we can all do it even with our 12megapixels digicams!

[...] My next find is an offering of PandoDaily.  Why Isn’t This News?  This is a new podcast from Sarah Lacy (@SarahCuda founder of @PandoDaily) and Paul Carr (@PaulCarr founder of NSFW Corp @NSFWHQ) and they talk about their past week as new founders of burgeoning new media behemoths!  I love it.  It’s raw, honest, and witty.  Unfortunately, there is no easy way to view all the WITN videos on the PandoDaily website through categorising, but you can view the latest episode here.

HI Sarah, Great podcast. Its really sad to see TechCrunch falling apart like this, and i couldn't wait to see what you do next. I started following techcrunch, when i worked on the crunchboard website for a few weeks. I actually read your's & paul's posts a lot. Your work definitely helped me a lot in the understanding tech's corporate structure, and i hope you continue to do amazing work with pandodaily.

I love watching WITN! It is reality broadcasting done right. However, my challenge is this. I do not have the fastest internet in the world (Nope, not the second fastest either). So if I do not have the time to watch it in one sitting (not including buffering time), it takes an effort to do so later. Is it possible to have downloads? I've tried every trick in the book but it seems impossible (nice one Vimeo). How about an audio version that can be multi-tasked with?

I do like your conversations like this, but it would be good if there was a little more effort put into the production, if only to reduce the trolling ;-) I'd be more than happy to volunteer my editing skills and some tips on how to easily improve the production without costing much at all (I used to be a video editor).

Besides the fact that I can't watch it (Vimeo always goes wrong here, YouTube does much better), I'm so glad to read Paul and Sarah are showing up in the comment threads, which is something quite rare for me to spot.There should be more lively exchange of words like this.

The second camera's microphone is much less harsh than the first. I love the personal insight we're getting into how Pando is made, right down to Eli's cameos and the ongoing soap opera at TechCrunch. For what it's worth, I also think you're striking a great balance between insider Silicon Valley stuff and wider tech news that's useful to people on the wrong side of the world. None of us can afford not to keep abreast of tech news today, and Pando is doing it for me and making me smile into the bargain. If you can do that and make money, more power to you, Sarah!

I don't understand why people are complaining about the video, or the editing. Its the content of the video that matters, not the video itself, and the content was great. It provided a great insight into how PD operates. Great video, its actually the first time I watch from start to finish. Keep up the great work guys.

I don't know of a better way to spend 37 minutes. "Who has thumbs and a two bit economy" made me bust up. These videos need more duck analogies. Every week finding what new way they are going to shoot these or what isn't perfect with these videos makes me just want to keep coming back.

Taking half an hour out of my week and watching this is seriously worth it. Really interesting stuff, bravo. :)

Actually that does sound like a really neat business. Email me some more info. Would love to write something.

It's starting to be a nice Sunday morning routine--get up early, get some coffee, watch WITN (works with the new and old name!). Oh, and if the guy who was trashing you can put in a plug ;) we're launching Altsie (promo site www.blog.altsie.com) in three weeks if you're interested in a story. We've got businesses, movies and a kickin' website lined up. I can say with all honesty that in two years of work, we haven't seen anything else like it.

This podcast is a breath of fresh air. I look forward to it every week and I love the banter.

Paul Carr - Game mechanics applied to content: Advertising barriers. If you want to deal with the pain int he ass of going to multiple pages, seeing ads, then you can peruse the content for free. If you want an ad-free experience, with articles on a single page (no content divided across clicks), you can pay. Pandora did this with their content (music).

It's hard to explain why I found this so captivating, as I'm not in the business of tech blogging. This video, however, is a refreshing look into the editorial team at Pando, their vision for their business, and how they prioritize giving and helping the "junior" members of their team so that they can blossom. They deserve every investor in, and penny of, their $2.5m round.

"join us next week on why is this news isnt FUCK!" lolz

I always hated my copy editors- when I used to write for a magazine. especially the ones fussy about the a.p style guidelines argh! I never written for a blog, I wonder if it's the same hierarchy of the editor>copy editor>writer cycle

This was very interesting content that was made almost unwatchable by the amateur presentation. I appreciate you probably hadn't planned on shooting in the same room for this feature, but $2.5m in funding should be enough to afford a second camera, two tripods and some lapel mikes. Also, if you are worried about the length, just edit out every mention by SL of "like" and "you know". That should save a few minutes...

A lot of you may be wondering how this blog can get away with making videos like these and yet will sell out in 2-3 years at 30M+ anyway when you toil away at Camtasia with proper lighting, scripts and a professional attitude. It's because they have a shit load of money. * * * The more you know
