Apps & Hats: The quirky online show reviewing iPhone apps

Concept created early 2009 and the first episode aired in March.  We were a “Quirky online show reviewing iPhone applications”.  We wear unusual clothing items from Victorian to sharp suits. Video Webcasts show there is a lack of females in the UK presenting these.

The show was viewed on Miro, Blip, Youtube, Vimeo, Viddler, and Mevio, who have 5 million unique hits monthly (we are getting around 60K monthly uniques from that site alone). We have caught the attention of app fans worldwide with our unique take on it. No one does what we do. We did 38 Episodes, with around 1000000 hits.
