Getting Loaded!
Friday, February 1, 2008 at 03:39PM
No, I'm not going binge drinking because of the move, although it occurred to me. I am referring to my new show on Cnet TV. We are calling it Loaded! A short promo began running yesterday. You can watch it here.
We are aiming to launch the show on Monday, barring any unforeseen circumstances. I will post about it here as soon as it goes live.
Loaded will be a daily news show, a lot like TeXtra, but it will also be a lot more than that. We chose the name Loaded, not only for its double entendre, but also to declare our intention to be an information-Loaded show. In addition to news and analysis, we have been pounding the pavement here in New York City doing news packages about technology-related conferences, events, people, places, and even food. You'll see!
In the meantime, my weekend will be spent preparing for the show, unpacking more boxes, coming to terms with the fact that I will never wear certain clothes again and getting rid of them, and trying to crash a Super Bowl party somewhere in New York. I hope I can get my kitchen up and running in time because I have a pretty lethal mac'n'cheese that I make every year for the big game. I cannot divulge my recipe though. It is top secret. And no, it doesn't involve a little blue box!

Will it be downloadable in a podcast-like way via iTunes like TeXtra? I hope so.
Yes. I hope it will be available on iTunes. There's nothing worse than a "podcast" that requires you to visit a web site to see if it has been updated! This is 2008! Of course, if it is not available via iTunes, I know it will be because of CNet not having their act together yet or wanting viewers to come through their site to see ads etc.
Good luck with the mac'n'cheese baking!
Yes it will be on iTunes!
Nice-- I love mac’n'cheese. I'd invite you over to my SuperBowl party, but you'd have to come back to the Bay Area for it, and it sounds like you'll be busy.
It would be nice to get an audio-only version of your show for my daily commute. It's simply not safe to watch video while driving.
Natali,
In addition to iTunes can you also try and have it available through RSS. Some of us don't use iTunes.
Yay for the start of Loaded! I look forward to getting this new show. Good luck on getting the kitchen functional in time to make that Mac'n'cheese.
Great news Natali, I too will be looking for the show, the promo looks great.. I mean.. you look great!! Leave it to us Californians to wear shorts/skirts in the dead of winter in a new city.. LOL.. I just bought some sweaters myself 2 weeks ago. I miss the Cali sun!!
Lets get LOADED!!!!
Shame on me - Loaded magazine came to mind when I saw the show title :)
Finally! WooHoo!
Loaded! is starting and you can get your life back on track. That is great. I guess this will be a good time to decide if you will root for the Gi-aints or the J.E.T.S. I realize you have your hometown favorites, but the people around you will brow-beat you until you decide on a local favorite. Mets or Yankmees? Tough considering the choices.
Anyway, good luck with your new start. I look forward to the new show.
By the way... GO PATS!
Great news and looking forward to the post announcement on Monday, +1 to the request to have a RSS feed. I will definitely go to Cnet TV to watch the show if there is not a feed but it will be difficult to recommend to friends if none is available.
Great news, looking forward to the new show. You might get a few subscribers looking for a podcast from Loaded magazine here in the UK, not sure thats the image you are going for though ;) (check out loaded.co.uk to see what I mean).
Good luck, can't wait to see it!
GOOD LUCK IN NEW YORK YOUR 2 NEW SHOWS ARE INTERESTING.
