dotBoom: Puppets with attitude (from Podcast Wasteland)

If you like your puppetry a little “saucy” then dotBoom is for you.

Created by Brian Hogg, dotBoom is a funny take on life inside a web development company. Though it is about a web company, this show will appeal to anyone who spends their day crammed inside a cubicle.

It is by no means a “polished’ production. Many of the episodes feel like they were improvised on the spot. However, the creatively made sets and puppets are very well done. dotBoom draws you in with its hilarious plots and strong characters.

The show continues a trend that I’m seeing more and more on the net. Independently produced shows seem to have way too many characters at first. It’s almost like they are shotgunning the characters in the hope that a larger group of characters will appeal to a larger audience.

dotBoom is defiantly worth a look. The first 10 episodes are a bit rough, but the show is rapidly settling down into an instant internet classic.
