Any Time with Vin Forte

Stuart Ashen is a popular Youtuber known for his dry, comedic reviews of old electronic tat, weird food stuffs, and other strange miscellaneous items. He's been doing it since the dawn of Youtube over 10 years ago and we discuss the platform's evolution, how it became his full-time job, parlaying his success into getting to create a movie and author a book (Terrible Old Games You've Probably Never Heard Of). We also talk about crowdfunding, what makes a game truly awful, getting sent 180 year old olives in the mail, and other things of interest.

Don Arangio is a Director of Photography and Producer who is proof positive that you don't need to go on the path put in front of you in order to find a viable career. In this episode, we discuss Don quitting college on a whim, falling into production work, and putting himself in unlikely positions that ultimately led to him putting in long hours and hard work to get to a place where he is now on the cusp of taking on some pretty big projects in major roles that would have seemed impossible to reach just several years before.

Emilio Sparks is a radio personality, producer, and podcaster who has seen more good fortune and breaks come his way through his life so far and has built up a cult fanbase of average joes and industry insiders alike. But being able to be involved in cool projects and become friends with higher-ups in an industry you love possibly only gets you so far when you keep weighing it over the idea of taking more steady work that pays well, but that might not be your passion. That's the central theme of today's episode. While we do jump around a little, I hope that by the time you finish this episode you will have perhaps a newfound understanding of what it's like to hustle and want to do what you want on your own terms and the choices you have to make along the way.

Dimitri Simakis is the co-founder of internet video collective Everything is Terrible and current head of short-form video for Super Deluxe. If you have ever seen a weird clip online of some insane stranger danger after school special, bizarre infomercial, religious children's show, or anything that could be traced back to a VHS tape of long forgotten nonsense, Everything is Terrible probably had something to do with it. This episode we discuss the role of re-contextualizing these old clips, the earnestness of the original creators, the importance of realizing everyone is just as stupid as everyone else, using curation and editing to tell social commentary, and more.
