The time has come for the annual Podcast Awards, brought to you by Podcast Connect Inc.! Here at Revision3 we’ve worked super hard on all of our shows this year, and we’re stoked to announce that many of them are getting recognized and nominated for various categories.
Several of our new shows in 2009 were nominated:
- Film Riot is nominated for “Best Produced”
- ROFL is nominated in the category of “Comedy”
- CO-OP is in the running for the “Gaming” category
Film Riot is also joined by some of our classic shows: Diggnation, Scam School and Tekzilla, as nominees for the very competitive category of “Best Video Podcast.” We’re honored to represent 40% of the nominees in that category!
We want to thank all of you, our loyal Revision3 audience in your support of our shows and for nominating them to be considered for these awards. We love the Podcast Awards because it’s completely audience submitted and voted on. In previous years, Diggnation and The Totally Rad Show have won, and we’d love to add some more wins in 2009.
So you know what to do! Head over to the Podcast Awards website and show your love! You can vote once a day, every day, until the voting period closes on November 30th. Winners will be announced during a live Podcast Awards Ceremony in mid-December - exact date is currently TBA. For updates along the way, you can follow @podcastawards on Twitter, or Podcast Connect, Inc. coordinator, Todd Cochrane at @geeknews.
So with our deepest gratitude, you guys rock! Your loyalty and support keeps us going. Thanks and let’s get some great Revision3 shows some wins!

As you know, one of our mottos here at Revision3 is “Anywhere, Anytime, Any Device, Any Application” and that’s evidenced by how we bend over backwards to make our content available on whatever platform you want to watch it on, be it iTunes, YouTube or TIVO. One of those platforms that were huge fans of is Boxee. If you haven’t heard about Boxee yet, you definitely should as it’s quickly becoming one of the coolest pieces of software for watching video around.
Basically, it’s a way to enjoy the best of Internet Television on your computer or television. Boxee is the first “social” media center, whose free, downloadable software is changing the way we experience home entertainment. On a computer or connected to an HDTV, boxee allows you a simple way to bring all their entertainment into one place including personal movies, TV shows, music and photos, as well as streaming content from websites like Netflix, MLB.TV, Comedy Central, Pandora, Last.fm, and flickr. You can also share information about what you’re watching so friends can enjoy it too through legal sources online. It’s pretty darn cool and I’ve been using it for the majority of my Internet TV watching.
So, when the gang over at Boxee called us up and offered to create a Revision3 app for Boxee, we jumped at the opportunity! Any chance to make it easy for you, our audience, to watch Revision3 on your big screen TV (or any size, really) is definitely something we want to provide. Avner Ronan, Boxee’s CEO said, “”From Tekzilla to the Digg Reel to Co-Op, HD Nation, and Hak5 - Rev3 makes great shows that are available around the globe, on demand. They’re a great fit for Boxee, and we’re excited about the new interface we’ve created with them to encourage more people to watch Rev3 on their big screen.” Avner’s a great guy and so nice of him to say such kind words about Revision3!
If you’re looking for a new and cool way to watch Revision3, we strongly suggest you check out Boxee and install the Revision3 app. I can’t stop playing with it, it’s so cool. Just hook up your media center PC or your laptop to your TV, load up Revision3 on Boxee and then you’re on your way to hours of Revision3 fueled entertainment!
So head over to Boxee’s website, download the client and check it out for yourself.
Here’s what the Revision3 App on Boxee looks like:
Imagine browsing Revision3 with your remote control on your couch! Not bad, eh?
Huge thanks to our friends over at Boxee for putting the app together and helping us make it easier and better for you to watch Revision3 on Boxee!
Let us know what you think of the Revision3 app on Boxee!
