Q: Who are you guys?
A: I am Jonathan Paula - I produce, edit, direct, co-host, film, and control this YouTube account; Jory Caron is the host, Riley McIlwain is the sidekick, and still-photographer.

Q: Age, location, jobs?
A: I’m 23, I live in Quincy MA - and YouTube is my full-time job - I graduated Emerson College in 2008 with a degree in Television Production & Radio Broadcasting. Jory is 21, he lives in Roxbury, MA, and also lives off of our joint YouTube profits - he dropped out of Emerson in 2008. Riley is 18 and lives in Lynn, MA - he’s still in high school.

Q: What’s the history behind the show?
A: We found a bunch of microwaves… and wanted to “test” one of them.

Q: Where do you get the microwaves, how to pay for them all?
A: I buy them used on Craigslist.com for around $30 each - the show’s budget pays for them.

Q: Where do you film?
A: In a specially made tent-area in my parent’s backyard in Nahant, MA.

Q: When do you film?
A: We film each season of the show all-at-once over the course of a long 3-day weekend. Typically, production for 35 episodes takes about 12 hours a day, 3-days in a row.

Q: Is the show scripted or improvised?
A: The introduction skits are pre-rehearsed, but mostly the show is improvised by us on the spot.

Q: What software do you edit your videos on?
A: Programs from the Adobe CS4 Master Suite: Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Photoshop

Q: What equipment/cameras do you use?
A: The show is shot using 3 cameras: My DVX-100b for the main angle with Sennheiner ME66 shotgun-mic for the main audio; a Canon Elura-100 for the microwave-angle attached to a dangling proximity mic for the microwave’s audio, and a Canon S3-IS for Riley’s sidekick-cam - that we don’t use the audio from.

Q: Do you get paid to make this show?
A: No, not exactly… but we do earn revenue through YouTube advertisements thanks to the Partner Program. We make enough for this to be our full-time jobs, and to live comfortably on it.

Q: How do you get those banner graphics, and video thumbnails?
A: I am a YouTube Partner - besides getting paid, we get special perks: YouTube.com/partners

Q: How many microwaves have you used?
A: 13 (so far): Unnamed, Diane, Sandra, Helga, Lacey, Vanessa, Tracy, Whoopi, Jasmine, Susan, Beatrice, Jackie, and Samantha.

Q: How do I donate something to the show?
A: Please send me a private message here on YouTube. Please specify what you’d like to send in your initial message… don’t tell me, “I’ve got something cool to donate” - tell me exactly what is is.
