The Sound of Young America is one of my favorite radio shows, and they recently came to New York to tape a live show. Eddie and I filmed the proceedings, which took place at the UCB theater. Jesse Thorn, the host, just posted the first round of videos from the show.
I’ve not done much filming of live events before, so I definitely made plenty of mistakes with this one, but it seems to have come out reasonably well considering. Here’s a video of Pangea 3000 doing their hilarious spelling bee sketch. The rest of the videos can be found on maximumfun.org
