About The Five 8

From the publisher's feed

On Friday nights, Greg Olear ("Prevail") and Stephanie “LB” Koff ("The World Beneath") take FIVE of the week's most notable & newsworthy topics and spend 8 minutes covering each one: Five 8-minute segments. Two revved-up hosts. Three minutes of evolving animation by CHUNK. One comic interlude. One special guest (and sometimes more). And as many cocktails as we deem necessary. This is the official record of the LIVE YouTube show.
