Hard to believe the time has already come, but soon enough I’ll be moving on from Mahalo to embark on some exciting new projects! Mahalo Daily has been a really amazing experience (and not just because I get to do things like fly a plane), and I’ll still be producing episodes for the next couple of weeks as host, and then eventually reporting as correspondent.
It’s impressive how far the show has come since we started; at first I was a little apprehensive about the idea of doing episodes 5 days a week while building it from the ground up (as I imagine anyone would be). But with time we’ve assembled a really great, motivated team that makes the whole thing look effortless. Of course, there’s no shortage of solid talent at Mahalo, and they’ll be working with more people in the future too.
As for the new projects, well, you’ll find out soon enough! Needless to say, I’m very excited about what’s just around the bend.

Good luck hot stuff, can’t wait to see what’s around the corner for you!
Looking forward to hear about and see what you’ll be working on next!
I am praying the new gig is at Revision3! Good luck wherever it is! I will follow (sorry it sounds so creepy).
Hope Revision3 is a part of the plan.
Awesome! Never stand still!
Miss Belmont, can you get with leo for twit writes and make an all female Twit. DO a prem podcast for charity. i know people would pay for the goddess of tech.
paul ps Make sure its a video netcast….
I wonder what Calacanis thinks.
We can all hope for Rev3.
You’ll be missed! Can’t you just make a career of guest hosting on all my favorite video podcasts??
I too vote for Revision 3 - Tekzilla?
Not happy. I like Mahalo Daily, and seeing you daily. But, you know we’ll all follow you wherever you end up. Best of luck.
Maybe at your new job you’ll be allowed to go to Starbucks whenever you want…. I’m kidding! I’m kidding!
April Fool’s +1?
If it’s for reals, than best of luck. I’m sure you’ll keep us informed of all your rockin’.
Give us a hint, will you be getting paid to play Guitar Hero at work?
Wow, big news. Congrats!
Going to Engadget perchance?

Well have fun with your new projects. The Veronica Belmont nation will follow loyaly =)
Congrats and well-done, looking forward to seeing what’s next!
I considered going up to Jason last year at Gnomedex and giving him a hard time for breaking up BOL. But I had noticed he had accepted his “Yoko One” role of late so the point is now moot.
Good Luck. Whatever it is you move on to I am sure we will be watching.
Aw, just when I was starting to watch Mahalo Daily
In any case, best of luck in your new project!
Wow. April 2nd, so I’m assuming this isn’t a joke. Quick turnaround there. Best of luck wherever you land, though!
I was surprised to hear this (and have a niggling feeling that this may be a Post April Fool’s post), but good luck in all that you do!
LAist Interview: Veronica Belmont of Mahalo Daily…
We caught up with Mahalo Daily host/producer Veronica Belmont at Community Next over the weekend to discuss her daily (weekdays) video podcast for Santa Monica-based Mahalo. Veronica discussed her sci-fi affliction, World of Warcraft habit, and LA vs….
Congrats girlie! New beginnings are always exciting… this means a big fat toast next time I see you — with butter and jam. What did you think I meant?
xo
well, I noticed that you were getting bored in your Mahalo interviews, so it is good that you are getting a new gig. I’ll follow!
This makes me sad. I will miss you on Daily, but I look forward to your next projects. I hope you join Rev3
Congrats V - you’ve done such a great job at Mahalo, it wouldn’t have done so well without you. I have no doubt whatever is next on your plate will benefit similarly. I’m hoping for some Engadget TV stuff.
Hoping you have your own show on Rev3 ( Kevin you got the bandwidth and the studios in SF, c’mon! ) or that you are replacing whats-her-face on G4 TV.
Veronica,
Best of luck with your new ventures. You’ve got a lot in you. I hope you’re able to realize your potential, because you’re a legitimate star in the making.
Aww. We’ll miss you. I loved the randomness of Mahalo, but a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do.
Good luck with the new project!
Good luck. I hope to see you on Rev3 or Leo’s new TWiT TV.
I will be your cheerleader in anything you do, so I’m looking forward to your very bright future!
<3
C.
new co-host of Rev3’s Tekzilla?
Looking to forward to whatever you’re doing next, V. Best of luck!
Well, “sis”, you know your adoptive family will support you no matter what you do.
So when are we having a Rock Band party to celebrate?
Keep kickin’ rear. Whoever gets to work with you next has it good!
So they finally found a replacement host for Textra!!
(God I hope I’m kidding…)
Well, best of everything to you, Veronica. Video or audio, you always bring a lot to the programs you’re involved with. If you’re there and it’s got an RSS feed, I’ll be a subscriber. Uh, no jokes about making your grocery list an RSS feed.
Can’t wait to see where you end up next… something tells me it’ll be even greaterer.
Best of luck to you.
Harry “I thought you were too good for Mahalo anyway” Wang
Veronica you are one motivated person. I admire that. Good luck with your future projects. I do hope you will still be in the limelight. Your fans need you!
You kick ass at everything you do; so I expect nothing less for projects coming soon.
Awww. I loved all the things you did with Mahalo Daily. I’m a fan for life now, so I can’t wait to see what’s in store for you. Good luck and congrats!!!
Congratulations Veronica! I can’t wait to see what you’ll be coming out with next. I can only imagine it’ll be great considering your past projects.
Whoa, you are a super star. I remember when you first came out from behind the mixing board at Buzz Out Loud! Congratulations, and good luck.
Veronica this is such sad news for us, your fans. I loved you on the show. You will be greatly missed. Good luck in your new adventures.
Best of luck to you. The general consensus seems that you will be going to Revision 3. They must have some pretty deep pockets in order to snatch you from Jason!
So long and thanks for all the poi!
Tekzilla, no doubt.
good luck!
You are Mahalo Daily - the show as we came to know and love it will die with your departure
I hope your new venture involves Revision3.
Best of luck, going to miss Mahalo Daily with you… hope your new gig is video of some sort.
Best of luck with your new projects.
Mahalo minus Veronica equals Nothing.
I just really hope you go to a place that either is a podcast or still allows you to do guest podcasting. These last few weeks you’ve been seemingly everywhere and it’s been a lot of fun following along.
Best of luck
Hmm, surprising. So much for Jason’s recent boasts on Twit about being able to buy anyone I guess. Veronica wasn’t even there a year…
I really have enjoyed every episode of Mahalo Daily. Good luck with your next projects.

You’re a day late… unless this is real…
In which case, I agree with some of the previous posters… Mahalo will most likely die very quickly unless they do something miraculous.
If this isn’t a joke, then I’m excited to see what you do next!
Congrats Veronica and good luck with what you are doing next.
Good luck! I’m sure you’ll bring more traffic wherever you go.
Yay for change and new beginnings! And for staying in SF where we get to see you more. It’s been great working with you V, and look forward to more of it in the bright future ahead.
Good luck Veronica! I’m sure you will be amazing like always no matter where you are headed.
Wish you the best! I didn’t like much of the content on Mahalo Daily but you seemed to be able to make it entertaining.
People … we got a podcast jumper!
Actually I would rather see V in shows where people just talk, like BOL, Digg Nation and so on. The small 5 minutes-clips aren’t what I want, because I don’t get to see V be herself.
I stopped watching Mahalo a long time ago, so I can’t wait to see what “new projects” means!
Follow you, I will Veronica.
Veronica, good luck and whatever you’ll be doing, try to speak French as often as possible! I love it when you speak French!
Good deal, V. Looking forward to your next project!
[...] Lien : Veronica Belmont Blog, Moving on to new projects [...]
I’d just started watching regularly, too. Hope whatever comes next is as interesting. Just don’t stop the sword and laser
Funny. I just began watching Mahalo Daily some days ago.
Because i wanted to see who this Veronica Belmont person was after her guest gig at Tekzilla.
She was the best female presenter there ever. Believably nerdy and not intimidated by blabbermouth Patrick Norton. And so cute…
We will see. But i’m pretty sure it will be Rev3.
Veroniva, good luck.
I can’t wait to see where you’ll end up. No matter where that may be, it will certainly benefit from your addition!
Mahalo Daily will suffer, but Lon is hilarious and makes a great host in his own right, so if it’s he who takes over, then perhaps this will work out great for everyone involved, including the fans.
All the best!
Looks like you have a few fans
Count us among them and best of luck!
Congrats on your successes so far and good luck in your upcoming projects!
don’t know whether to congratulate you or shed a tear… we’ll miss you on Mahalo that’s for sure. good luck on your upcoming project. i’m sure it will be superwikkidawesome!
Best of luck with whatever you do!
Oh Noes! Mahalo Daily just won’t be the same without you! But just the same, the best of luck on the new project. For what it’s worth from a total stranger, you are an amazing person it seems and you deserve all the best.
I will watch you if you go to Rev3… or maybe you could talk to Ryan and revive the Engadget podcast and go video…That would be pretty cool. Just a thought
Good luck. It’s been a blast watching you grow.
Some funny comments.
aww… loved mahalo daily, best of luck, we will follow
best of luck…love Mahalo daily because of its diversity, but I feel a Rev3 move? heh

Any chance of you going back to BOL? It’s just not the same without you…

Well, we are all going with you, for sure!!!
Admit it…The episode we shot the other day was just TOO GOOD; you knew we’d never top it and have decided instead to exit on a high note. I fully understand…
Naturally, we’re sorry to see you go (and so soon!), but best of luck to you wherever it is that you land. Thanks for all the great Daily’s!

Going to miss seeing you on the Mahalo Daily Veronica. Can’t wait to hear about your next projects.
here’s lurking at yahoo babe
Good luck with your new project(s), Veronica!
Veronica,
Well wishes in your new projects, its hard to believe that your time at mahalo has passed so fast. I can only suspect that your new projects will be awesome and I can’t wait to hear about them. The Veronica follower-ship will follow you wherever your career takes you.
A real Mahalo from the land of the real Mahalo.
Aloha and all the best, Veronica. Will be following you in your new projects!
Wow! That was short! Good luck on the new projects!
[...] Moving on to new projects [...]
I didn’t watch all the shows because I lack the time but what I did see was always very good.
So if I had to take a guess I would say you’re no longer making someone else’s show grow, no, from now on you will have your own company and show.
I would like to know what Jason has to say about you leaving because he likes to talk about all the good things at Mahalo but bloggers need to talk about the bad things as well (and how to overcome them), otherwise the readers get the idea it’s all one big promo show.
Hi V
Congrats on the new gig - looking forward to hearing what it’s all about.
I must admit I’ve only checked MD occasionally - I’m more of podcast guy, so it’s a nice surprise when you pop in on BOL from time to time.
I hope the new gig is more tech related, we need more girls in tech instead of all the nerds
This means a brand new show on Rev3 hosted by V. Good luck.
Good luck! I always support jumping onto new shores. Who knows what to expect out there?
Your projects have always been fun. And here is my two thumbs up d b to a further evolution of your work.
Keep updating!

Good luck Veronica, I’m always on the look out for anything your on.
I was never truly happy with MD as I could never get any of the feeds to play on my Archos, so I couldn’t watch you on the move - either the video was incompatible or there was no sound. Luckily Miro on my HTPC let me bask in your wonderous broadcasts.
All the best to you.
‘,=| First Rocketboom and now this. Hopefully you don’t get replaced with an annoying English girl.
Interesting, I guess we should have had an inkling when you mentioned how much fun you had with Patrick and the gang over at Tekzilla. So, I wonder what it will be like working for Kevin Rose! :0)
So does this mean I unsubscribe to Mahalo Daily?
Good luck on your next adventure! I look forward to seeing you the next place you land. Either TWiT or Rev3
I enjoyed the few eps you did with Patrick on Tekzilla. You two are good together on camera, so if you wind up there, that would be okey dokey!!
Kind of glad to see you step away from Mahalo Daily I never really got it.
A show (about books maybe) on Rev3 sounds like a good place to me.
Hey.. I’ve really enjoyed watching mahalo daily, good luck with the next project!! :o)
Hi Veronica,
Congrats on the new gig - looking forward to your new project!
Good luck. I’ll unsub from Mahalo and sub to whatever you’re doing next.
We’ll follow you anywhere, V! Good luck!
Good luck with your new gig. I’m sure it’ll work out, cause you’re radtastic.
wow girl, good luck, realy, im guess you are going to engadget or Tekzilla
hmmm second thought Tekzilla…
Good luck Veronica. Can’t wait to see what your new gig is. Hmm Rev3 I suspect.
Amidst all the speculation that you join a particular podcasting outfit or wherever, perhaps you’re really about to get your MRS degree? Either way, it’s easy to see you’re not really an LA girl after all and it’s good to see JC couldn’t offer the moon to keep you, he needs to be humbled now and then.
hey V, I need a new intern… lol
Does Leo factor into this “new gig” at all?
Hey Veronica, Very best of luck with what you’re doing next… Looking forward to seeing it.
Wow, that was fast…
Gee, and I thought I was paying attention. Sheesh. Well, congrats (if appropriate), and certainly all the best in whatever and wherever. Maybe the next gig you can drive a submarine or fly the space shuttle.
We’re sad to see you leaving Mahalo, but so long as we can hear your sweet song or follow your radiant smile, you’ve got a long list of fans ready to watch. I hope this means you have more time for BOL guest shows!
Yo, V… Well I hope things work out… and i hope it also moves you forward to bigger and better things. I also hope there was a bidding war over you.
I’m guessing she will be on Tekzilla. I’d be surprised if it’s not.
I know… you auditioned and got the lead role to play “Lara Croft” in the next movie since Angelina Jolie is busy expecting twins
No doubt, you’d make a great action heroine - you definitely got the guns for it… I mean the Warcraft skills
Good luck Veronica!!!
I really like what you do… I’m sure whatever is next will be just as successful if not more
abso-fricken-smurfly good luck with your new guinness world record job as the regular guest on every tech podcast out there and well as your new job @ this-week-in-revision-4-daily-brief-alert-reloaded… or whatever you plan on doing!
i’m sure you’ll do very well; and perhaps, one day you’ll have the opportunity to deliberately turn down william ‘thatcher’ shatner begging for an interview. what a small world it is and how the tables may turn (karma et al.). cheers!
[...] upon hearing the news that the truly kickass Veronica is leaving Mahalo Daily,Grant and I jokingly started [...]
The new gig is Tekzilla… Its obvious after this week’s episode….
Can’t wait to see you on Tekzilla
You were amazing when you were on as a guest host.
Patrick Norton said he will announce a new female host. He also said it will be someone who has guest hosted.
Unless Morgan Webb is the one, that leaves only our dear Veronica. (who was very good as usual on the most recent dl.tv).
No matter where you go Veronica, we will follow.
I hope you enjoy hosting Techzilla with Patrick Norton
