We're going to just come out and say it: This might be Media Made's most unapproachable episode ever.

As Rod & Jess grew up in the mid-2000s, their TV habits moved away from standard American broadcasts and toward other corners of the media landscape. To illustrate, this 2005 TV podcast marks our first journey into internet television, as we discuss online media company Rooster Teeth's third machinima web series PANICS. Then, we go back to South Korea to discuss the beloved slice-of-life drama My Lovely Sam Soon. If you're feeling adventurous, give the episode a listen!

Here at Media Made, we discuss the media that most invaded our lives. And no holiday gives us the opportunity to demonstrate that media better than Halloween!
