Jay Dedman and Ryanne Hodson of Ryan is Hungry are a couple of “green geeks” eager to inspire. Both creators are ex-tv producers/editors and co-founders of NODE101 – making for a transitional story strikingly similar to that of Miro, the free and open-source internet tv and video player. Featuring these two in this first installment seemed like a no-brainer, and I’d channel anyone to view their Miro Channel and tell me otherwise!

The basic premise behind the show may be familiar, but if you’re like me you can’t get enough of the great online info about sustainability. More importantly, this one is different. It lives in a space where Cinéma Vérité meets Documentary and the two collide into an amazing, thought provoking self-produced program that stays true to its claim; they say do-it-yourself and follow through. Episodes include a wide range of topics and pace, from Urban Farming to Solar Decathlons, and are packed with useful information, practical tips and world changing ideas.

Similarly, their website itself points toward this same ethic. Both in their utilization of the Show in a Box WordPress Plugins developed by the community they also co-founded and in the inclusion the media using the open source video codec Ogg Theora. These leafy greens are ready for harvest, so dig in!
