What the videos say

2008-11-24 · DFTBA Records — Hank says the label signed him first and has also signed CharlieIsSoCoolLike, Chameleon Circuit (a band singing only about Doctor Who) and Dave Days; it is working on an album by a musician he admires. (00:01:22)

2011-12-31 · How to Tip Properly — Hank ties US tipping to the American idea that everything should be controlled by the market, then comically links it to the UK getting QI and Doctor Who while the US gets History Channel apocalypse documentaries. (00:03:12)

2012-01-17 · Thoughts from Places: The Tour — Then many people arrive, wearing John's face or Doctor Who shirts, bringing book cakes, some with things he wrote tattooed on their bodies; John finds it amazing, beautiful and completely terrifying. (00:00:43)
2012-02-01 · How It Felt — John says the three weeks were like the internet became IRL: fun, clever, crowded, good to be a nerd, with talk of Sherlock and Doctor Who and singing of songs about particle physics. (00:00:01)
2012-09-21 · You. Must. Vote. — Hank's analogy: if Twilight fans comment far more than Doctor Who fans, a creator makes content for the Twilight fans, though every Whovian comment still counts; voting is the YouTube comments of government. (00:01:13)
2012-11-27 · Nerdfighter Book Recommendations: A Gift Giving Guide for Nerdfightastic Readers — For Whovians, John recommends Connie Willis's To Say Nothing of the Dog, maybe his favorite time-travel book. (00:02:26)

2013-01-16 · An Evening of Awesome at Carnegie Hall — Hank's teammate is Hannah Hart, host of My Drunk Kitchen; John's is Neil Gaiman, best-selling author who has written Doctor Who scripts. (01:44:05)
2013-01-22 · How to Be More Than Friends: Question Tuesday — John recalls once describing Tumblr as mostly homoerotic Wholock watercolors; Dutch friends Lotte and Lidewij wrote him a song about it, which he woke up singing, puzzling a child of the brothers's babysitter. (00:00:08)
2013-03-20 · Ads Work...but for Whom? — John argues it is no coincidence that the TV shows with the strongest communities, such as Doctor Who, are not funded by advertisers; much good TV is on cable, funded partly by, as he puts it, "crowdsourcing". (00:01:24)
