    As someone who was in high-school during the life of Vine, I was immediately intrigued. This was a great telling of the story and a unique peek behind the scenes of it all. Binged EASILY. Highly recommend!

  • Great Content

    I am 38. I experienced MSN Messenger, the days of Yahoo cartoons, ICQ, MySpace, Napster…& still somehow lived under a rock and missed Vine. I remember people talking about it but maybe at the time I had no interest…didn’t understand exactly what it was? I was also someone really late to the game with YouTube. All that to say, I really appreciate this Podcast and have quickly become addicted. It’s taking me back to the days of MTV putting our documentaries and interviewing people. Great content.
