Out with the Old, In with the New

You heard it here first.

Melvis has a new podcast coming out. And he’s no longer interested in plain audio, ladies and gentlemen. That’s right: he will be subjecting us to his grinning mug on the screen because “M.B.” will be a video podcast!

Mel is currently filming season 1, and he hopes to start releasing episodes early next month. I asked him why he wouldn’t move for an immediate release, and he replied that he wanted no interruptions once Season 1 began. Picky celebrities know what they want– and that’s what makes them the best. Fan Club intel says we can expect the season to begin right after the Independence Day holiday.

What can we expect? Rumor has it that Mel came up with the idea of a video show after watching a “Surreal Life” marathon. This suggests you can expect a regular cast of characters and personal reflections on the events you see on the screen. But I can’t imagine a Melvis product without at least a little bit of performing. Due to the success of the interview-song format of the Melvis audio show, sources suspect he will follow a similar formula when he switches to video.

What is the show called? Mel says everyone knows what he’s capable onstage, this show will be to show everyone the rare, personal side not many people get to know. I guess we’ll have to live with that cryptic answer until the master reveals all.

Expect a website redesign this summer as well.
