GeekBrief is Big in Dallas!

August 29, 2008

Geek Brief by you.Cali and Neal Lewis, the duo behind the very popular GeekBrief, found their way to our offices earlier this week.  With Cali in front of the camera and Neal behind the camera the couple produces 3-5 minute video podcast released four days a week.  I stumbled across GeekBrief while I was looking for someone to help SpringStage develop a uStream strategy.  Little did I know that here in our own backyard worked one of the webs most popular shows!  With more than 1.4 million downloads each week (350,000 per episode) the program is not only the most popular video podcast in North Texas, but ranks favorably among the most popular in the world.  Originally inspired by Dawn and Drew, the Dallas-area natives started producing the show in 2005.  Within six months of starting Geekbrief the husband and wife team were able to quit their day jobs and focused 100% of their time on the program.  With all of the stuff going on with Google I didn’t get to spend as much time with them as I had hoped.  Check out their program.
