After months of preparation (it takes longer than you would think to get something like this off the ground, believe me) the first episode of Mahalo Daily is up and running! It’s a trailer for the show (coming Nov. 5th!) and we put a lot of effort into it.
It’s a take on the video podcasts and memes that I love, and I hope you enjoy it.

So proud of you.
This video podcast is going to be suck.
So do we get to pick the show’s style?
Admit it! You’re looking at the view counter right now!
@andre - no, but there will be a portion of the show where you choose the topics!
@jack - ouch!
you should dress as ryan and spoof cranky geeks.
That was hilarious! Especially where you almost spewed beer out your nose. Something tells me that wasn’t scripted.
Now I’m going to have “Podcast Rain” stuck in my head all day. :/ Can’t wait til Nov. 5!
[...] will be launching on November 5th and in anticipation of it’s debut, Veronica has created a trailer for the show, where per Jason’s various suggestions, she pays tribute to several popular video blogs. [...]
that is awesome. i still dont really get the connection between a human powered search engine and a daily podcast, but hey even i can learn. i did btw not only go through the site to reach the mahalo daily page but conducted a few searches and its nice to have everything about a topic on one page. only 4 minutes is WAY too short for a podcast - even if it´s daily
oh, and you need one of those voice alternation thingy´s for your throat so you sound more like a ninja when you do the ninja…
Holy cow, that was awesome!
I’m really looking forward to this show
Huzzah!
I’d love to see a drunk Lady V podcast. I’ll buy!
[...] Daily! And so it begins. Posted by Jim Moreno under Friends, Internet, Podcast, Women Veronica Belmont - Mahalo Daily [...]
You are not only smart!…but you’re Hot, Sexy, and Beautiful!!!
(respectfully speaking of course)
Definitely checking in on the 5th. (Hey, you look hot in a ninja outfit!)
I will check it out when I get home… Congrats!!! a head of time..
oh yea.. did you hear about the ghost seen in the SNL Skit of “homelessville” video?
w00t! Congrats on getting the show out!
Looks like it has potential, but needs less…… Calacanis
That was great! Looking forward to Nov. 5th and your new show!
Congrats, V! Bacon’s on me!
Great Job!!! Veronica, I love it! The Diggnation Skit is the best…
Congratulations on getting your first show out the door.
Awesome! Loved those spoofs, especially Podcast Rain. I almost peed my pants when I saw those glasses.
This made my day. You just jumped up 10 spots on my Web 2.o heroines list.
Congrats, ya superstar!!
I know you’ve been working hard on this and I’m glad its getting started. Good work all around.
Very good, it looks like it is going to be fun! But why did they stick the link for it way at the bottom of the Mahalo page? They should have you front and center! Jason, get on that! Ryan, go kick Jason’s booty until he does! Wait, Veronica, you seem much more like the booty-kicking type than Ryan, so YOU kick him!
Teh Fun-e. U haz it
That was FREAKING hilarious!!!
Ha ha! Great stuff! Fart jokes FTW.
So, is Mahalo Daily going to do a “How To” on 3D screenshots in Halo 3?
Congrats on the new gig! Hope everything works out perfectly!!!!
excellent!
about time, too
Great into video. I started clapping when it was over, till I realized no one was there to hear my applause. Congrats on everything!
The trailer was great! Loved the spoofs.
Nervous V?
And, no makeup and you look incredible!
Looking forward to Nov. 5, official launch date of The Mahalo Daily Show with Veronica Belmont and second show. =)
hhahahaha!
I loved the “Is it always going to be this close?”
whats with the poor sound quality in some sections(2:48)?
No itunes feed??? Does not compute, does not compute…
Veronica,
What a great start!
@Jack - soon!
That was great!!! I can’t wait for Mahalo Daily!!!! This is probably one of the most anticipated podcasts of the year. Good Luck with Mahalo, looking forward to November 5.
lol, I that was fun Lady V! Will we be able to download them daily via itunes for my ipod?
That was hilarious! I loved the surprise/twist ending I had no idea there would be a fart joke. Thanks for making me laugh.
Mahalonation. I would pay for that.
Great job V! I’m really looking forward to the show. It looks like it was worth the wait. By the way, when do you think you’ll be able to go on Buzz Out Loud as a guest host again?
Hurray!!!! The return of Lady-V!!! The world is not going to end!!! Thank you Veronica for warding off the 7 Horsemen!!! Veronica v. The Beast… Veronica wins hands down.
Looks great!
more Toro cameos plz
Ok, the Dog fart face is CLASSIC. Too bad you don’t appear to be having any fun at your new job.
Cheers!
Wow….I can’t wait. That was hilarious! If you guys get an rss feed up for this, you’ll be the first I’ll watch among shows like WebNation, Webbalert, BoingBoingTV, and Wired/PBS Science!
Oh, and hey….it was really nice to hear you on BoL and MP3 Insider. I know I”m not the only one who misses you on those shows. Are you going to be pimpin Mahalo Daily on ELR or The Instance?
Keep up the awesome work!
@veronica - your trailer demonstrates the cast is more about personality than substances. Without a sensible voice next to balance your hysterical cry, it is a little difficult to bear.
@Jack - I’m sorry you didn’t like the trailer. However, the show, I can assure you, is very content heavy. We have over 15 episodes in the can right now, and they’re nothing like the trailer (which was just a fun way of letting people know the launch date).
So, I hope you’ll give the show a chance on Monday. If not, there are
plenty other podcasts in the world for you to enjoy.
@Jack - Yikes man, lighten up. No reason for those kinds of comments when the show isn’t even out yet.
@ Veronica - Fantastic trailer, really looking forward to the first episode. Its obvious that a lot of hard work went into it all. You have a lot of big fans here at the “fruit” company and we’re excited for Monday!
Yay! Congrats V!
Great stuff, Veronica! Good luck!
Is there going to be feed? To feed my Zune?
Right now the RSS has Embed of blip.tv, that’s not iPod/Zune friendly,obviously. But hey, I am sure it’s just the preview!
Looking forward to it!
Congrats V!
Will be exciting to see what Mahalo Daily turns into.
WOW! - loved it!!
I was listening to BOL on my iPod in my car when driving to work this morning (morning here in Denmark) and what do you know - a familiar voice sudddenly pop’s in with the show announcement, just as I was arriving at the office.
I rushed right in, turned on my computer and went straight to your blog to see this - I haven’t even had my morning coffee yet!! (it’s 7:30 AM here)
Can’t wait until the 5th, you are the best and I’m sure this is going to be a big hit.
All the best
Peter The Dane
Nice trailer! I’m really exited for the show!
hahaha “… Rocketboom’s just not FUNNY!…” hahaha Aww HERE WE GO!!!
Woot… Can’t Wait!!!!
First, it was fantastic! After patiently (not really) waiting for this, I was not disappointed. It was funny, smart, and exactly where you should be. I loved it, and will wait till the 5th for another great installment.
Second, why on earth these “people” feel the need to put you or Mahalo Daily down is completely beyond my understanding.
V keep up the awesome work!!
I just did a search on Mahalo to find Veronica to get the beta video podcast page. I miss hearing her meld of satire and seriousnessess, er - too many essess?
Good Luck Veronica! I’ve got you Bookmarked!
I still miss you on BOL….but this was so freakin’ hilarious! Keep up the good work Veronica!
Loved it!! Can’t wait for the real deal.
AWESOME!!!!
YAY!
OK, that was fun! Looking forward to the fifth!
Pax,
N.
sweet! can’t wait to see it…
I liked the suggestion of the Ryan/Cranky Geek parody thing– who better?
Anyone else think Veronica looks like Cathrine Bell? So pretty.
BEST…..PREVIEW…..EVER! 5 OUT OF 5 GOATS. Cannot wait for the podcast. Very well done V.
lol You always crack me up. Yay for hot tech femalessss! You’ll overtaking Morgan Webb.
Where the F is the RSS or iTunes Link to the Podcast, i congratulate V for her success for Mahalo Daily but where the F is that RSS Feed/iTunes Link, it is driving me Crazy!
Great!!! Best show ever!!!!
Only downside is that it won’t play and thus i haven’t seen it.
But I’m sure it’s the best show ever!!!!
Awesome start, V! Glad to see the gates finally open. This will be fun!!
That was hysterically funny. I can’t wait for the show!
Good trailer. Congratulations.
At last! Great trailer… have to agree with Dom (less Calacanis)
but looking forward into watching it monday!
Congrats V!
fucking brilliant! I love me some mid-day video podcasts with humor! Can’t wait for next week.
Veronica; excellent work!
Apply at CNN and I’ll put in a good word for you.
You could easily replace Veronica De La Cruz!
-Coop
Interesting concept. I think you were being under utilized on CNet TV anyway. I think you should do spots on Mahalo with Robert Heron guest starring. He would be good at those “stunned looks” during the comedic clips. Overall this seems very entertaining and is RSS worthy in my news reader.
That was hilarious!
at first i wasn’t convinced missed you on buzout loud, but man that trailer rocked sooo funny I just hope the show has less jason,
congrats and good luck
Cool! Nice Congdon impression, Veronica! Looking forward to the first ep! Woo hoo!
You’re nice to look at and I think you’re great !
My god - where have you been all my life?!
[...] Veronica Belmont » Mahalo Daily! And so it begins. [...]
That………was…………….pretty funny, actually. I cracked up at the Ninja and Chocolate Rain parodies..! I can’t wait until it (actually) starts!!
Well done. I can’t wait for more.
R O F L - well ok im not really rolling but it was pretty funny.. hope it goes well on the 5th!
At last!
We’ve been missing you!
Good luck - I’ll be watching!
LOVE IT!! Although…
This will be a dangerous video for me to watch at work because of the uncontrolable laughter. Seriosly tears shot out…
honestly, mahalo needs some production help.
consider investing in some lights (and maybe someone who has taken at least one college-level class in lighting?), a camera operator who can properly set iris levels, and for the love of god, use someone competent in aftereffects if you ever try another green screen key.
on-screen talent is not synonymous with production talent, and it’s honestly a little embarrassing on mahalo’s part that they think this looks good.
sure, you can write it off and say 90% of youtube looks like this. for videos of people who don’t do this for a living, that’s completely acceptable. but for a well-backed internet startup, this looks like you’re running your operation out of somebody’s dad’s garage.
you’re intelligent, talented, and beautiful but that doesn’t mean you have to do everything, or that you have to be good at everything.
just two cents from someone who’s not too busy drooling all over your shoes to give you the straight truth.
p.s.
can i has cheezeburger angry cat was pure genius. let me clarify–brilliant, brilliant ideas, poor execution.
Excuse my language but that has too be one of the funniest things I’ve seen in quite some time. I wish you great success.
Ausome. Looking forward to Nov 5.
I honestly think you Veronica and i say this with no disrespect but you totally just killed your career. Leaving Cnet was such a bad idea. This looks like such a horrible knockoff
Oh John - The show isn’t about ripping off other shows. This was just a trailer to let people know when the launch date is, and to make some people laugh. But thanks for being so close-minded.
Congratulations V! So does “daily” mean seven times a week?
@Wes - No, we’re like the Daily Show! Monday through Thursday… at least for now!
Very good show, I love the “zefrank” attitude!
[...] Verónica Belmont es una de las colaboradoras de Jason, y precisamente en su blog encuentro este original video para promocionar [...]
yo, kit…..
personally, i’m more likely to pay attention to a vid’s content if it’s *not* highly “produced”. many of us are immune and even annoyed by big money production (hollywood). i’m not putting down lighting or camera talent, but i love to see content that’s good without needing it to get attention.
/keepin it real
What is it with the haters? I guess you will always have those who like to attempt to deflate.
Veronica, as a long-time BOL listener, I will say that you are at your most entertaining when you do NOT have a script, but are just entirely conversational. Hopefully, you will be able to incorporate some of that aspect of your personality into the new show. Difficult, I know, with a short format and things you need to get in.
@dillweed:
i appreciate where you’re coming from, and i’m definitely not suggesting mahalo should be producing a high-budget motion picture on film stock, but there is certainly a middle ground. this came out looking decidedly home video.
understand, this is what i do for a living. mahalo obviously invested in a good designer for their logo and brand, and the we can all agree they pulled a high-profile, up-and-coming video blogger that resonates with their target demographic. the fact that they decided to ignore the prospect of hiring someone equally competent on the technical production side is inexcusable, in my opinion.
I had no problem with the video quality, although the sound was out of sync.
I think this was fun, that Jack is a Dick and that Veronica is looking very, very good.
V - You are such a hit… go for it!
I have to admit that I would have preferred you join Revision 3 instead of going over to Jason, but excellent show! I can’t wait until new episodes start to fill my iTunes podcast library.
[...] Check out the trailer above and tune in November 5th for the first episode of the Mahalo Daily staring Veronica Belmont. [...]
was that a laura veirs impression? hmmm
Was that an intentional B5 reference? IF so extra points! The trailer was funny. You ought to have a “making of” segement that shows how you got all over Ryan’s work space. I know Jason’s your boss…but less or no Jason will help the show
Best of luck on the new show. Great trailer, although I don’t get some of the references.. I think I’m still on web v0.05beta.
I am so excited that I can wait no longer!
Best of luck for the show!
Congrats. I am going to be subscribing to it when it comes out tomorrow. Mainly because you are in it
It’s awesome when a woman knows about technology and is truly excited about it. Keep up the awesome work!!!
I’ll be watching tomorrow! Will it be listed on iTunes? If so, I’ll be subscribing!
Ok so this was pretty damn funny.
Glad I started to look up your site again after seeing you knew what Dark Crystal was as a movie on Twitter. I’d be even more impressed/scared if you knew about Krull.
Congrats on Mahalo Daily. I’ll check it out.
Mission Accomplished.
Jim
V - you need to fix the new episode!!
I just tuned in to se the premiere episode today and it’s totally un-watchable. The audio is completely out of sync and in the embedded video it also looks like the framerate for the video is too high.
I downloaded the iTunes version an although the framerate seems more normal the audio is still WAYYYY out of sync.
I don’t want to put you down or anything, because I’m a huge fan and think you are great, but this is just not good enough, especially for a premiere episode of such an anticipated show - you need to be 100% sure that things are working perfectly before releasing the show - it’ the web, you know you don’t get many chances if you blow it.
Please V, fix it so we can all enjoy you the way we are supposed to.
Just saw there was a new version i the iTunes feed - all fixed and working perfectly. The embedded web site version is also fixed.
Good work V
Hopefully most US viewers are just getting up so they didn’t notice the faulty one.
Look forward to following your video adventures.
Much love
Peter The Dane
when will the podcast be ready for subscribing to?
Opening up comments on Mahalo?
http://www.vosgeschocolate.com/product/bacon_exotic_candy_bar/exotic_candy_bars
just saw the first “real” mahalo daily episode and what can i say… i invested the money i had for a drivers license in skydiving
. other than that it seems to be a nice and very green car and indeed very quiet.
A few comments on the new show:
First, very good job, interesting and fun.
Second, the sound definitely was out of sync for me on the Mahalo site version.
Third, you really need to get Jason to put the show link right up top, just below the “Mahalo” on the main page. Burying it at the bottom will not attract anyone and you will have to rely on word of mouth and iTunes. If he takes the show seriously, he needs to give it some respect and push it up top.
Fourth, why are the comments turned off?
hey veronica:
despite my earlier remarks, i like your first episode. it moves along, the subject matter is interesting, and of course, your hosting is fun and engaging.
i’m still a fan, i’m just a stickler for production quality.
no audio syncing issues here.
Wow looks like it will be a pretty damn sweet podcast can’t wait
[...] also catching up on friend’s video blogs. If you haven’t seen it yet, check out Veronica Belmont’s first episode of her new vlogshow for Mahalo. Also noticed that Jetset is now [...]
Really cool first episode!
[...] Why mention both? Well besides obsessively patrolling the web all day and browsing through random web show archives, I remembered that the host of Mahalo Daily is Veronica Belmont, who was once guest on the show formerly known as Jet Set. You can read Veronica’s Mahalo Daily announcement on her blog. [...]
