“The thing I was most afraid of has in fact created the greatest successes in my life.” -Xavier Nuez
I don’t think that television is my endgame. I think that I am incredibly happy…and I get to make content and create funny things and enjoyable entertainment with my friends, so I don’t know how it could get better than this. Sure, TV throws a lot of money at you, but I’m good. I’m totally content. -Hannah Hart
Hannah Hart runs one of the more popular series on YouTube, My Drunk Kitchen. What started out as a jokey cooking and drinking video for a friend has turned into a thousandaire’s empire. An online donation drive to send her on a tour of the US made almost five times the money she expected so now she’s going international. Hannah joins hosts Molly Adams and Brian Babylon to talk about her origins as a YouTuber, her relationship with her fans and her upcoming visit to Chicago.

There is a definite ominous yet playful sense to Megan James of the Canadian duo Purity Ring. She’s clearly spent a great deal of time thinking about certain things like performing with her entire body and how to look as cinematic as possible. Just the very nature of her pounding on a drum is as cinematic as Lykke Li at times (only definitely with more smoke) and the way she can channel a wild look while she dances with a light makes one think she can make mischief if she pleases. Purity Rings, of course, are signs of chastity which also heightens the sense of Megan James coming out in an all white dress looking as if she’s a bride who might at the very last moment change her mind.

Their names may not be familiar, but if you’ve been to a Windy City Rollers home season bout, you’ve surely seen them. They can often be spotted high-fiving little kids and posing for pictures with fans. If not doing either of those, they’re likely starting a dance party somewhere.
