Amongst the Web

The audience-interactive viral media review desk on Barely Informed News.

Format

Case Blackwell is the only consistent host of Amongst the Web, joined by a different co-host each time to watch, evaluate, and react to viewer-submitted video evidence, internet phenomena, and digital subculture clips gathered from the community Discord. The hosts rate and dissect each submission while the live chat audience participates with real-time commentary and sentiment.

Key Elements

• Anchor & Rotating Co-Hosts: Case Blackwell anchors every broadcast, while his co-host rotates each session—featuring recurring personalities and special guests such as tactical media correspondent Rick, the eccentric Marfus Darfus, solar-laser enthusiast Grandma Crumble Bottom, or chaotic desk hijackings by studio stowaway Peter Gibbon.
• Viewer Submissions: Videos are sourced directly from the audience via the community Discord’s “amongst this web” queue in the BIN news section.
• Idiosyncratic Ratings: The hosts frequently assign peculiar or hyper-specific decimal scores to each clip (such as Marfus Darfus’s landmark 6.44 rating).
• Focus: Surreal internet culture, odd viral recordings, awkward cringe clips, and community-submitted oddities.
