(Old Series) This is True #1

[horsesrsweet]

kinda,weird,kinda cool.........

[moondoggie]

Way to go, Randy! What a pleasant surprise it was for me to find out about this through my in-box of June. Yep, still cleaning it out. I especially LOVE the black and white old video touch. I remember the you worked at JPL and paid my friend a visit while he was visiting Burbank. You have aged well, after 12 years ;) I just now found out I'm SOL for the GOOF insulated mugs from your June pub. Oh well... Your MySpace place is pretty cool, too.

[digitalpunch]

Nice work!

[one1process]

Kudos Randy...Very well laid out and artfully put together. Your choice of commentator was superb! Good job ole boy!

[Earthlinked]

Great Stuff!! The fire fighters were poorly trained - burning ammunition DOES NOT explode. Bullets do not fire - fire expands the cartridge - and the bullet falls harmlessly pops off.

Katie - will you marry me???

[ehnotsomuch]

Love the video podcast! Well made, funny, and Katie's great! Rock on, Randy!

[ukjulio]

Call me biased because I've been a subscriber since before it was called 'This is True', but this is brilliant.

Katie Bevard is pleasant to listen to and easy on the eye.

Go, Randy :-)

[SadieOnTheSide]

Good stuff. I already liked Stella and This is True. Katie is a great touch.

[hines1957]

I am a premium subscriber to the This is True newletter; it's worth every penny! I love this new video production; keep it up!

Love it!

[SMart7751]

I like "This is True" and "Stella", and I love this!

[bibijack1]

This is the perfect solution for those of us who might feel we have too much to read. Katie is a perky delight and the archival film clips are perfect accents to the stories. Would that make them video taglines? Gave you 5 stars, Randy.

[EdgerHumphrey]

Excellent presentation from a long time TIT subscriber. Looking forward to the next.

[dorr221]

Great Stuff, Great delivery.

[666TheCritic666]

Great Delivery? I don't think so...unless you think dry with no emotion is great.

[Tel69]

This is laughing at the weird and wonderful.

Randy's dry wit and Katies delivery is right on the mark, but possibly wasted on you.

[DrRusJeffrey]

Great stuff Randy! Once again you're proving why you've been on the cutting edge of using the Internet since, well, since Moses was a young lad! 0;-)

[jwbecher]

Excellent. It gets my vote.

[RoyWagner]

Excellent use of archive footage to present quirky news!

[bginnj]

Great stuff. Fans of This is True will love it; others will want to subscribe!

[1nevyn1]

Excellent production. Really enjoyed it. Thank you.

[spunk115]

Very well done! A great mix of info and humor, just like the newsletter.

[HighGround22]

Well that was a real pip! Very nicely done by all concerned -- especially Katie. I particularly liked the light tone, exemplified by the clips from antiquity, that underscore the entire production. Hope to see many more!

[doc2626]

I've been reading This Is True, since shortly after Randy started it, and just finally upgraded to the Premier version. (Should have done it YEARS ago!)

Great job, Randy! I love the old B&W footage, and the background music...it really blended well. Keep 'em coming!

[qqurtuba]

I knew about That's True, even recently upgraded from the free edition, and it's worth it ten times. Now I can put a face to it all. Now, the video edition shows Randy´s capacity for innovation and wit. Great job (again) and excellent choice with Katie

[Wrangler1978]

A great idea executed professionally. I had a couple of ideas, which I will send to your Email.

way to go RANDY!!!!

[lanman03]

Congratulations on getting Katie Bevard for your video version! She's a prize and I'll enjoy seeing her twice a week rather than just once. Good work!

[captainblip]

Way to go Randy. I especially loved the piece on Hell. What a creative kid and what a moronic school. Thanks for pointing out the absurdity.

[tvnewsguy11]

Randy, I loved this! Please tell Katie she's doing a stellar job! Where did you find her?

[cabterp]

Randy, I loved it! Can't wait for the next edition. I'm going to send the url out to all my friends. Maybe this will get them to subscribe to "This Is True".

[jjjaaazzz]

Way to go Randy.

[zeeeeya]

Very, VERY cute! The video clips really add to the stories. Loved the one about Hell.

[MaGaO]

Randy, would I be stepping over the bounds if I subtitled this in Spanish? I seem to remember you objected to having the newsletter translated, but I'm not sure about it.

[randycassingham]

MaGaO: please connect with me by e-mail about this. Thanks.

[CompaqVet]

An excellent first effort. I look forward to more.

[tvdrpr]

Capital!  Nice to see True is color!

[aquarius012273]

Great work... a perfect companion to my weekly This Is True fix!!! Perhaps I should get that premium subscription after all... Hmmm!!

[miamiclay]

Great work Randy - Your sense of humor and of juxtaposition translates very well into film! If this is any sign of how good the coming installments will be, I'll be a steady viewer.  CC

[ejlawyer]

Great #1. Can't wait to watch the next issue. This was a very good job and to think, "It will only get better!"

[Radiomanbill]

GREAT JOB!!! Very professional and a wonderful addition to the email.

[CVF72]

Fantastic work, love the use of archival footage. I accidently rated it 3 since Ihave never rated a video before. If I can rerate I will give a 5 for sure.

[brettwakeman]

Randy,

Awesome work! Keep it up! Love it here in Melbourne, Australia!

[franny610]

Randy, really nice work. I really enjoyed watching it and am looking forward to more videos from you.

[lttlrd171718]

Well, Randy, I love the newsletter, but this is even better!! You outdid yourself on this one. I will definitely be lookin for more installments in the future. Keep up the great work.

[sixtenb]

Awesome! Just awesome!

Congratulations on a new field opened!

You have found the ideal presenter, too.

[Wulferious]

Well done once again Randy! Love the weekly newsletter by your crew, and this is great icing on the cake. I look forward to new video installments!!

[randycassingham]

Actually, the only "crew" on the newsletter is me -- it's a solo effort. The video, though, is for sure a team endeavor.

[Wulferious]

Ye cats.. Working that entire newsletter yourself is a Herculian effort I must say. Especially considering all your other projects. <insert round of applause>

[psmaak]

Fun Stuff!

[inzanadee]

Hell, Michigan...that seems redundant to me. Either way, this teacher was a bone head.  Well, done, Randy!

[spcorneliussen]

I drove to Hell and back... on 6-6-06 and mailed myself and all my friends some postcards from Hell, dated 6-6-6. It was just a thing I had to do.

[riker17]

Hey Randy, nice work. Lovely hostess you got in Katie. Well done and look forward to the next episode.

[snobahr]

Ack! Three kinds of fun! Great production quality, too! Thumbs-up!

[chabelyk]

Oh wow, what a gas! It's even more fun to watch it! Please keep it up!

[wilee123]

love it...keep up the great work...clips are great too

[CaptainCody68]

Well done! Like many others, I've been reading 'This Is true' for many years. This additional avenue for enjoying is greatly welcomed.

[gcsievers]

I don't always get along with Mr. Cassingham but I love his work. And his "This is True" has kept me in a good mood for years now.

[randycassingham]

If everyone agreed about everything, this would be a boring world.

[rebekahsue]

Not bad at all!

I've been enjoying TRUE for several years, and I'm pleased to see it reaching a wider audience.

I'm still REALLY mad at the stupid teacher in the first story. The teacher should have gotten the Zero grade - the student did the assignment, and even impressed the town about which he wrote!

[slharbron]

Nice to see the face, that has made me laugh for so many years. Will you be doing the same thing for the Stella Awards

[MaartenL]

Randy, you keep impressing me. I'm afraid you'll be buzier than ever (and I know that you were already doing a lot of things).

Congratulations on successfully turning a great idea into something as amazing as this!

[stetim]

Good to put a voice and face to an author i have read for a long time. some unique content would be interesting however. nice work,and adding to the depth of your already expansive range of publications

[tatshadow]

Really great. Keep Katie for sure!! Love all of your work, someday it will make a big difference in the world. Tatshadow

[zeroesandones]

Nice work.

[stephenrees12]

I love the clips added to illustrate the stories

I look forward to seeing more original content rather than recycling what is already in the text version

[TruBluSue]

Well, another great idea. Love Katie.. she is cute and has a pleasant voice. Looks at "ME" instead of the camera or monitor. Keep it up. Very entertaining.

thanks TruBluSue

[canuckguy0313]

Wow! Great stuff! Watch out 60 Minutes, This is True TV edition is coming for YOU!

[gbulmash]

Nothing against Katie, but you ought to host. I've seen you when you get going on re-telling a story after a couple of drinks... Hey, maybe get Katie liquored up. :-)

[gbulmash]

P.S.: Awesome work, Gary!

[Medic63]

Good choice, have Ms. Bevard do the stories. She's a heck of a lot cuter than you! LOL ;-)

[randycassingham]

That's for sure! But then, you already knew EMTs aren't typically pretty.

[Medic63]

Hey! I resemble that remark! :-)

[MonAtAOL]

Way to go, Randy! Nice production. "This Is True YouTube!"

[TdAngel]

thx Randy - am surprised you found time to do this. It was great, but I still love your newsletter.

[netoru]

great stuff! I hope you do it with some stories not in the newsletter in the future. It'll be awesome.

[affiliatesummit]

Love the content and quality - just what I'd expect from you.

[grandmalinda1117]

Delightful, Randy. I great way to present your material. Linda Marlia

[adragushan]

love it!

[SteveMagnify]

cool!  well done.

[randycassingham]

Thanks, Steve! I was just about to post this on my Magnify channel (thisistrue -dot- magnify -dot- net) but it looks like you did it for me. Cool! (But no, I won't expect you to do it every time. :-)

[surfnetkids]

Awesome job.

[kaegori]

Dagnabbit, but if it ain't more than time for this. Way to go!

[jakeludington]

This is AWESOME! I'll definitely watch every week.

[lockergnome]

First!!!

This is... ABOUT TIME.

[randycassingham]

Yeah, I know. Had too much on my plate. Glad you enjoyed it, Chris!
