I want to see more people push what it means to be a web show… because it’s very difficult to make a living making those types of shows. – Freddie Wong
At the end of the day, we still make the things that we make. And we found that the best strategy in this very fluid marketplace is to not be tied into any given platform, but to be able to make good content, and good content will be able to live anywhere. – Freddie Wong
