"I feel like Canada is, they're sort of, you know, the red-headed stepchild of the U.S."
*chuckles* Ah yanks. We love you, we really do. God bless ya!
Good show, you guys have a really good dynamic. Moujan was a little fidgety at times, but that's just adorable++. Perhaps she was in the throws of a caffeine seizure or had to the go to the bathroom really bad? ;) Great job, but please don't make the show PG-13 to comfort viewers in the minority. If it feels right just let 'er rip.

The beauty of Rev3 is how everyone is having fun and being them selfs. The FCC controlls what you can say on TV and what You can't say F***** bombs. Or live on the air accidents . The beauty of Rev3 is NO FCC, If anyone slips or anything happens we get to see it . If you don't like that they say f , make mistakes ,say something you don't agree with , or stand to much . You don't have to watch it ! I'm a Rev3 fanboy ! KEEP up with the good job !

Loving the changes. One thing I would suggest though is to make proper titles for the music and community segments to go with your intro and others. Maybe you could recycle the 'Nerd Bird' and 'Rad Science' ones from your early episodes (see below), or simply get new ones made?
*link*
You could call the music segment, 'Bird Song' to fit in with the bird image from Nerd Bird and be a bit kooky with the community segment and call it the pop-o-sphere (like blogosphere but for popsiren ;))
The one thing that stands out to me is the use of green screen for the music segment, could you not use a part of the actual set? Possibly with a TV mounted (ala Tekzilla) which could in theory just play a bright green static image which would allow for 'green screening' that TV to show album art or whatever. I think that would look less out-of-place.
Could cost some money but I think will add to the cool image you guys have for the show with the set and graphics.
Keep up the great work, it's getting better each week.

watching parts of this show was like watching an all-female totally rad show (which is awesome); in the future there's no doubt it will rival trs for me. but it still doesn't (nor does trs) have the diggnation fluidity that keeps diggnation on top (i'm guessing. and i bet trs is near the top too).
i think it's the skeleton of 'regular segments' that diggnation is so good at masking. in reality, diggnation is intro->stories->sponsors->e-mails, but the show never feels like it (except the crappy shows). trs always has movies, video games, etc, but they too manage to break it up enough that the rigidity is minimal. not so with pop siren.
so i think transitioning between segments is going to be vital to the new format, but it only works if the chemistry is there. otherwise it's too obviously forced and sucks: social brew. (not trying to be mean.) let's be honest, we all hated in school when we were asked "what do you think about x" and forced to respond, but we'd gladly discuss x, y, and z with a group of passionate friends after class.
it works with trs because the guys share common interests. it works with diggnation because they can relate on any subject. what the two shows share is that neither is afraid to 'reveal' something in the personal lives of the guys, another important aspect (i can never tell when moujan is playing a character or herself).
episode 31 was right on the line; at times it had it, other times it didn't.
