Minnesota Stories

A terrific and very creative example of how to program local video content for a global audience. Well produced and delivered with great heart, Minnesota Stories offers many rewarding treasures to its viewers.

The ingredients are simple: Information, humor and lots of very specific details about the urban Midwestern identity. Calling it This American Life from Lake Wobegon would be quite appropriate.

"A daily videoblog focused on what's going on in Minnesota, Minnesota Stories is an evolving showcase for local citizen media. There are so many stories in this state - personal stories, independent films and music, hyper-local politics - yet they're rarely seen or heard. Minnesota Stories puts a spotlight on the little gems that fall through the cracks of broadcast media."

How Do You Watch the Internet TV, their contribution to a network2.tv clip competition,  could become the comedic anthem of broadband television and deserves to be widely seen: The brilliant team from Minnesota Stories finally clear up everything you ever wanted know about Internet television in this little late night TV parody.
