"Grand Unified Weekly"

SlateV is one of my favorite podcasts; (much) more than a video version of the Slate Daily Podcast, V has evolved as a kind of variety hour of short-form video programming - some segments recur, others are one-off. And each morning, I find myself looking forward to whatever the new segment is like it's a present under the tree.

One of their newest segments, however, dazzles. Called "Grand Unified Weekly", it's a smart science show with pop-culture sensibility and unique production values. The content is first-rate, but even more than that is the art direction: the whole thing is done as if screencasted from a Mac; the talking-head hosts appear as QuickTime movies, new content is summoned from the Dock, visual effects often come ala Stickies.

Worth checking out, doubly so if you're a Mac person.

(And get SlateV into your podcast rotation!)
