Reward Tier Update, 'Real Talk'
Hey Patrons, I've rebranded the $3+ tier so it's more in line with what I've turned the behind-the-scenes segment into. So 'Real Talk' will be the weekly exclusive segment for the tier, where I have an informal discussion on a range of topics, as well as dig into any personal news.
There's also a number of people who have pled...

Hey everyone, I'm back from NYC and was keeping an eye on YouTube and Patreon while I was away. I'm so happy with all the support thrown my way over the weekend. Really means a lot, and shows me that there is indeed a path for me to continue pursuing this long-term as a viable career. Back to regularly scheduled programming with...

Got a worldwide copyright block on this video on YouTube, so I'm giving it to $3+ Patrons. I use 2min of a Daily Show clip, which explains the block - but still, only Viacom is this strict. Commentary videos usually get by.
It was meant to be my first 'reaction' video. So I'm seeing...

1/3 Of My Job
Hey, I figured I should maybe let you all into my life a little more to understand who exactly I am, and what I spend time doing when not on Rational National.
So the news video in the above link (which will play afters the ad) is me. I write/shoot/host/upload videos for ScreenRant.com and sister site CBR.com....

I'd love to pretend I planned this, but reality is this video took way longer to render than I expected, so I'm saving it to post tomorrow. But posting it early for my lovely patrons!

I had prepped a story last week about a ridiculous answer that DNC Chair Tom Perez gave to a question on Meet the Press, but instead turned it into this piece I posted onto Medium. I'm not a seasoned writer but I think it came out well. Check it out!

I Explain The Thinking Behind My Breitbart/Maher Video
The video I'm discussing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZGH0EdLDBY
Not everyone loves how kind I was to Breitbart, but I explain why I frame the discussion the way I do.
Member shoutouts?
Hey, would you lovely patrons want a member shoutout in a video? I'd do it randomly at the end of a video, maybe two at a time. Or anyone not want their name shared? Just comment on here to let me know either way. Thanks!

Behind-the-scenes vid for this week! Though these are fun, so maybe I'll do them more often.
2017-06-15 19:33:40 +0000 UTC View PostPatreon Update!
Patreon has been updated with a new look and new features - but the coolest features are still in invite-only beta. Built-in video, which ill use for behind-the-scenes and more exclusive video for patrons; Built-in live streaming which I'll love to use; And early-access content.
So just letting you all know I plan to be a...
The issue with covering Canadian content
Canada has terrible copyright laws. If I use video from a Canadian source, it's practically inevitable that I won't earn revenue from it, and even worse, the entire revenue goes to the holder of the clip.
You can see the most recent video on Justin Trudeau has been demonized because the clip I use is from the CBC. It's a...

I briefly go over the three videos I'm prepping to shoot- and I go deeper on how I plan my phrasing in order to attract viewers I may not agree with and are misinformed - with the aim to better educate them.

Hey you awesome people!
So today I have two videos going up; one on MSNBC beating Fox News in the weekly ratings for the first time ever, and the other on why "shills" (whether it's for the right or the left) are still employed and invited on cable news. I'm talking specifically about people that will defend someone no ma...
