EPIC FU is your guide to what the web is buzzing about. It's a new kind of web show -- interactive and immersive. We think of ourselves as the owner's manual for the web.
Created by Zadi Diaz and Steve Woolf, EPIC FU is all about the things that make us geek out -- the coolest art, tech, and music from the online and offline world. The new popular culture is about the influence of web culture on the mainstream. EPIC FU is a new way of thinking about popular culture -- it's about conversation and interaction. Entertainment is a two-way street now.
EPIC FU is a Webby Award Winner and a two-time nominee with a large and growing audience. Each month we serve millions of views across the web.
Wasn't this show called JETSET?
Yes, it surely was. From June 2006 until October 2007 JETSET was born, grew up, and thrived. But it wasn't unique, and we reached a point where the name was no longer right for what we were doing and where we wanted to go.
We always described our show as the new pop culture. What we meant by that was the strictest definition of the new POPULAR culture. For the people growing up now, the Internet is the defining cultural engine. Our show was always about exploring that culture and talking about all the people who were empowered by a new kind of media. That is the new popular culture as we see it.
With EPIC FU we have something unique that we can fully own. In every sense of the word. :)
How does EPIC FU make money?
We work with our web licensing partners at Revision3 to find sponsors and to figure out how to present their message to our audience. This may include ad placement within the show, banners on the website, or a combination of both.
We never do any sponsor or product integration without a clear indicator that a sponsor has provided consideration to the show. We do not accept payment or other compensation in exchange for a product's inclusion in editorial content.
As part of our partnership with Revision3, we acknowledge their involvement with the show by displaying a Revision3 "bug" in the upper right corner of our videos, an Revision3 plate at the end of every episode, as well as occasional promotional videos and call-outs to help bring attention to their other shows.
