Our Second podcast!

Hello and welcome to our second podcast

Here's the written version if you hate our voices ;)


The PWEU for today is Australian Youtube star Natalie Tran, better known as the host of the community channel. Now for those who still do not know who she is, I have a left you a couple of links for you. Her videos are vlogs about awkward and humorous situation through multi-role skits, using her sarcastic and self-depreciating humour to make it light hearted and entertaining. Tran plays most roles by combining multiple takes using split-screen compositing. Her videos include stream-of-consciousness commentary on social dilemmas, such as how much money to spend on gifts for friends and appropriate telephone etiquette.



Tran’s youtube channel has reached to a number of more than 720,000 subscribers and more than 268 million views. Trans most viewed video had over 20 million views in March 2010 and number of views has grown significantly since then. Her popularity has caught the attention of the The Sydney Morning Herald, Rolling stones, news.com.au, Western Australia Today, B&T Magazine, Venus Zine and Der Spiegel.

Tran was also one of the Australian YouTube celebrities invited to talk about the site at the launch of YouTube Australia in 2007. She is presently enlisted by The Sydney Morning Herald as a contributor and Real World Correspondent to their technology vlog Digital Life, complementing main presenter and journalist Séamus Byrne. Tran was nominated for "Best YouTube Channel or Personality" and "Funniest YouTube Channel" by Mashable in their 2009 Open Web Awards. Starting this year, the analytics firm TubeMogul placed Tran at #10 on their list of top ten earners from YouTube advertising (Click here to see top 10 youtube users!) According to TubeMogul, Tran earned $101,000 and had 138,871,829 views.
