As Jim heals from a broken arm, I, Brandon Werner (Intern 1.0 for long time The Hopkinson Report listeners) am back with a very special edition of The Hopkinson Report.

On the last episode I hosted, I talked about how I’ve been creating my own web content, so I decided to talk to two people who I think are making some of the best web video out there, Grace Helbig and Michelle Vargas.

Download the podcast from iTunes, or play it below:

Grace and Michelle have been producing web videos for over two years and have amassed over 1 million views. Based out of Brooklyn, NY, their content is a mix of humor, random observations, parody of other YouTube videos, and music.

We talk about:
- The process of creating web video
- The ins and outs of promoting video
- The hazards of making oneself public online.

Of course, there is plenty of talk about nerdy things like cameras, video games, and Star Wars.

Now some links!
