The Media Show is a media literacy-focused Internet TV show which originated at the educational video project AfterEd.TV. After a long and successful run at AfterEd, the award-winning series continues to be produced independently.
The show centers on puppet sisters Erna and Weena, a pair of high-school kids who ditch class and hide out in an abandoned supply closet in a New York City advertising studio. There the girls hang out, surf the Internet, bicker with each other, and chat with special guests from all corners of the media and elsewhere. Armed with a double-dose of snark, a healthy amount of chaos, and an endless supply of disposable interns, Erna and Weena explore and demystify the media environment and the various ways in which it can affect us all.
Behind the scenes, I've contributed scriptwriting, artwork, design, and puppet and prop fabrication as well as camera and sound work. On-screen I'm an occasional puppeteer performing various supporting characters, including the semi-regular "Monster of the Week." I also designed and built the show's website, and I've had a hand in the production of the show's unique handmade merch.
