Martin Sargent has been doing video podcasts for a couple of years now. I first watched him in the 3 pilot episodes of Web Drifter (now a full series), I absolutely loved them. Take away production value and turn it into a.. I guess talk show, and you have Infected. Infected was a bit more of an aquired taste, it started off as an audio podcast with still images jumping across the screen and they eventually went to live action, he had a co-host called gator, a redneck moocher from Gainsville Tennessee and you have an incredibly weird show. The first episode I watched I was kinda cringing throughout the whole thing, for some reason, I kept watching them and I eventually became a fan. Segments such as Gator’s Galz, Stripper Pole Folleys and the odd episode where he actually had a decent guest on, it was actually a pretty good show. Eventually, it got cancelled, or so Martin says, hey it makes a good story. After a few months Internet Superstar was released, which… is essentially the same show, Martin Sargent as host, Gator is the co-host, but with more production value (Although Martin insists it’s his mother’s shed) and I’m guessing more guests. In the first episode his guest’s were some guy that likes to draw a fat version of Wonder Woman, and Tom Green, it will be interesting to see what other guests he can wrangle up over the weeks.

Anyway, go watch it.

There’s so much stuff going on with the intarweb at this very moment. I just got an email telling me I could download Radiohead’s new album In Rainbows, which I preordered earlier. The new episode of Martin Sargent’s Web Drifter has been released, and in less than an hour, Half Life 2 : Episode 2 and Portal are released. It’s craziness.
