The Variety Podcasting Brunch at SXSW featured a live-taping of the podcast Awards Circuit, with Sean Evans, host of “Hot Ones”; Rhett McLaughlin and Link Neal, the hosts of “Good Mythical Morning“; and Marques Brownlee, host of “Waveform Podcast” in a panel discussion about how they are trailblazing storytelling and fan engagement across popular talk shows and podcasts.

00:11canceled before it got a chance to find itself and it's also amazing because this started off as just this, you know
00:17Skunk Works freak show that me and Chris were working on and
00:21There was no network notes, you know, we weren't bound by anything
00:24It could just be our own creativity expressed through the videos that we were making
00:28so and that way it's just kind of
00:31Something that I look back on and I'm thinking like oh well without this
00:35platform and without this moment without this opportunity and it all coalescing with the way that
00:40consumer behaviors changed and people started to
00:43look to the internet more as a way to
00:46Entertain themselves with the shows that they were watching. We were just right place right time right passion right enthusiasm and somehow it all worked out
