FAQ
What would you like to know?
 
"So I'm confused, what is The AV Club?"

 
Click the About tab above.

 
"Why are there clips from live shows mixed in with short films and weekly series on your site?"

 
Because that is what we do around here. Our live shows are technologically unparalleled, our short films are something we do when we have the free time, and the weekly web shows are what we are focusing the most on right now. To make it easier on you, all the videos are grouped into projects in the Videos tab.

 
"I must be an idiot, what is a podcast?"

 
You are not an idiot, but you are a Luddite. A podcast is basically a way to get videos downloaded automatically onto your computer as they are released. All you need to do is subscribe to the podcast you want from a program like iTunes, Miro, FireAnt, etc, and the videos will download onto your computer whenever you want them to so you can watch them later. Podcasts are really just RSS feeds with video or audio embedded in them, so you may hear them called "webcasts", "netcasts", "feeds", or just "videos that you can get automatically for free without much effort at all. For more information, check out our Podcasting 101 page.

 
"I don't own an iPod, can i still get your podcasts?"

 
Of course you can. "Podcast" is just the generally accepted term for an RSS feed with videos in it.

 
"Are your live shows really 100% improvised?"

 
Our live shows are 100% improvised. Right down to technical aspects like video mixing, green screen backgrounds, on-screen text, and remote camera crew footage.

 
"How is it all possible?"
