"Paul Kedrosky: "I'm particularly fond of SmashingTelly given how it, in effect, Tivo-ifies the web"... Guy Dickinson: "David Galbraith has turned Smashing Telly into well, the new TV."... Fimoculous: "Best Blogs of 2007"... The Guardian: Video sharing on the net has uncovered a hoard of TV gems...and a number of sites have been established to lead us to them. Take smashingtelly.com."

about

"Smashing Telly is a hand edited collection of the best free, instantly available TV on the web. ~~Not 30 second clips~~ (now with added clips, good ones) of a dog on a skateboard, or the millionth person to mime the Numa song, but classic clips and full length programs, with a focus on documentaries and non fiction. Smashing Television, not Gimmick Television.

Each entry is like a postcard, a short piece of text which describes a moving picture."

Another very good video magazine from SexyBeijing is the Hard Hat show. Here, Beijing based English film maker, Nick Bonner talks about his films about North Korea.

Amazing. I’m hoping to do a trip to N.K with these guys once I get back from the States.

If anyone watches the above clip, I’d put the presenters skills down to enthusiasm rather than talent and that’s me on best behaviour. Its worth waiting a minute or two for the proper content.

Brilliant.
