Hey, popSiren peeps! You’ve all been asking about a downloadable version of the popSiren theme music. We mentioned in episode 3 that we’d get something ready for you this week, and we kept our word. Our clever music guy, Lawrence Scaduto, has remixed a real, live uncut track fusing both versions into one on his website just for you, kind viewers. Go here to download it to your heart’s content!
We can’t believe it has been a year, but, indeed, 52 weeks ago, Alex, Dan, Steve, and I congregated in Steve’s garage to record the very first Totally Rad Show. Since then, every week we’ve met to hang out and discuss the raddest stuff we could find on the topics of movies, video games, TV, and comics.
We’ve had laughter, arguments, and a fair amount of sweat – but the best part of all has been the audience feedback. So to celebrate our first anniversary, we thought the raddest thing we could do would be to reach out to you, the fans, and ask you to vote for your favorite moments from the last year. So we did.
And you responded with much more than that. Many of you pitched in to help (producer) Steve put together an incredible retrospective on the show, and a few of you even demanded we return the favor and look back at all of Steve’s visual contributions, too. Episode 52 is out now and I am proud to say that it is as much yours as it is ours.
You, our audience, provide us with backgrounds and material every week; this episode takes that interactivity one step further. It’s a truly interactive version of TRS, one that’s only possible on the internet, here at Revision3. So thank you for all your help and support this first year – and here’s to many more to come.
Oh, and if you’ve never given TRS a try, this is the perfect episode to do so. Why not watch episode #52, see some of our favorite moments of the year, and drop into the forum to let us know what you think? Even better, take advantage of our free subscription option, via iTunes, Miro, the Zune or other feed readers, and get TRS delivered to you every Tuesday, as soon as fresh episodes are available.

One of the great things I enjoy about working at Revision3 is the feedback we get from the audience. Be it our shows, the website or anything in general, our audience always has great feedback, both positive and negative. We spend a lot of time reviewing that feedback and try to utilize it when making decisions about what to work on.
Many of you have been enjoying the daily editions of Tekzilla, Internet Superstar, and the new daily videos of iFanboy and have been outspoken about the fact that the daily episodes were included in the feed for the show. Some of you love it, getting Patrick Norton and the Tekzilla fix on a daily basis is exactly what you want. While others of you hated it, that you didn’t like having to download every episode of Lil’ Internet Superstar, just to get to the big Internet Superstar show. Believe it or not, we got some very vocal feedback from both sides of the topic.
So after a lot of work and a few heated meetings at Revision3 HQ, we’ve rolled out our updated solution for everyone to be able to get the shows they want, how they want them. Now when you’re on the page for a show, like Tekzilla, click on “Subscription Options” and you’ll see we’ve created individual feeds for the following:
So now, you can pick the kind of feed you’d like and have the shows delivered when and how you prefer! If you’d like to change your subscription preference, you’ll just have to unsubscribe from your current RSS feed and re-subscribe with one of the feeds available on the site.
We’ve also made it easier to distinguish the daily episodes from the weekly episodes as we’ve added the daily episodes to the previous episodes listings for each show. We’ve also enabled filtering when browsing the previous episodes, so you can find the episodes you want.
Now this change only affects our shows with daily episodes, so other shows like Diggnation and popSiren, nothing changes for them, just continue watching and enjoying as you have.
We hope you enjoy this simple, yet impactful (so we think) change to our feeds and please keep the feedback coming. Comment here or in the forums and feel free to email us at support AT revision3 DOT com.
thanks.
“The best weekly podcast I’ve seen – period” – Wired Magazine
San Francisco, CA (March 18, 2008)—Today, Revision3’s “The Totally Rad Show” celebrates its one-year-anniversary episode, featuring “best of” moments and commentary, as voted by fans. The show will debut today at 4:00 p.m. EST, and can be downloaded, streamed or embedded from http://revision3.com/trs/. Fans and newcomers alike are guaranteed surprises, including a montage and even a musical number to ring in the second year of the show.
“’The Totally Rad Show’ is about the excitement in finding a piece of entertainment you love, or the pain of realizing something isn’t as rad as you had hoped. It is about finding friends who share your interests and get just as excited as you do. If it is out there and it is Rad, it is on The Totally Rad Show,” said Jeff Cannata.
“The Totally Rad Show” brings together Revision3′s Diggnation host Alex Albrecht, former Revision3′s Geekdrome host Dan Trachtenberg and former video game columnist Jeff Cannata. From passionate debates over Star Wars, Heroes and Lost, to the sharing of dog-eared copies of Preacher graphic novels, the show developed around one clear realization: this stuff is totally rad.
Once “The Totally Rad Show” guys realized they needed to do a show, they turned to turned to a bona-fide geek in his own right, Steve Koncelik, to develop the unique look and feel. Months later “The Totally Rad Show” debuted on Revision3.

It’s another big day for all of us here at Revision3, and today it’s about some news about iFanboy, our show dedicated to all things comic books. 
You’ve been enjoying your comic book fix with iFanboy for over a year now on Revision3, and today we’re proud to announce two great things that should make fans of iFanboy very happy.
First up, iFanboy is excited to embrace the 21st century and join the other great shows here on Revision3 by releasing the show in High Definition! With this past saturday’s episode, iFanboy is now in High Definition! Say what you will about seeing Josh, Conor and myself in glorious HD, but if you like comics, you haven’t seen anything until you’ve seen the artwork in full High Definition!
As if that wasn’t enough, we’re also proud to announce the launch of iFanboy Mini, the daily serving of comics goodness from iFanboy. Now, Monday through Friday, you can get a couple minutes of comics reviews, commentary and information in iFanboy’s fun and accessible way that you know and love. Today’s the first episode and in honor of St. Patrick’s Day, Josh is talking about Irish comic book characters.
So be sure to tune in every day for iFanboy Mini, and then on Saturdays at 1 PM Eastern for the weekly, longer episodes of iFanboy as we continue to cover the best in comics for you!
