Excerpt: ."..That's where Galacticast comes in. The sci-fi oriented videoblog, conceived and produced by BF/GF duo Casey McKinnon and Rudy Jahchan, may just represent the next geeky frontier of media. The show recently won five of the coveted "Vloggie" awards -- best entertainment, best web site design, best collaboration and two awards for special effects.
Galacticast uses geeky touchstones -- Dr. Who, Futurama, the aforementioned ensign Crusher -- to deliver a mix of social satire and comic entertainment. Think Bollywood, if Bollywood was entirely peopled by phaser-wielding Canadians.[2]
Galacticast is written and produced in Casey and Rudy's living room in Montreal and gets 20,000 page views per week. The show first launched in May of this year. After their success at the Vloggies, McKinnon and Jahchan decided to dedicate themselves to the show full-time.
"It's really the only way to go," Casey told me, explaining their choice to quit their day jobs (Casey worked for a Japanese diplomat -- sounds shady). We were chatting in the offices of blip.tv, the New York startup that helps videobloggers, including Galacticast, syndicate their shows. "We're trying to connect sci-fi to the mainstream."
