BHA+ Episode 02: A Formal Introduction to... BHA+ - 2024-12-01

Announcing the soft launch of BHA+ - my Patreon-sponsored media channel where I review vintage consumer, prosumer, and broadcast video gear; offer practical user info for filmmakers; feature test footage featurettes; publish podcast interviews in blog, audio-only, and visual versions; and feature serialized, historical examinations of unique gear. 

This podcast is both an Introduction to BHA+, and maps out my mandate to showcase, inform, contextualize, and support the preservation and creative use of vintage video gear from the 1970s thru the 2000s.

Coming next: a podcast interview with filmmaker-composer-musician Schnudlbug (https://www.instagram.com/schnoodlevideo/) and the making of his 3D experimental short film "Roach" (https://linktr.ee/schnoodlevideo) and its limited VHS release!
