Tekzilla is a weekly video podcast on the Revision3 network. It is currently hosted by Patrick Norton and Veronica Belmont with Garnett Lee and Roger Chang (who also acts as the show's producer) as a frequent guest hosts. For the first 14 episodes of Tekzilla, Patrick's co-host was Jessica Corbin who made a guest appearance on episode 16 confirming she has left Tekzilla. Tekzilla is released every Thursday.

Format

Tekzilla is a viewer question, review and technology news show, a mix between The Screen Savers and Call for Help (and featuring some of the same on-air talent as those shows). Each show begins with a brief rundown of segments of the episode followed by an overview of the sponsors. After a short title sequence the hosts introduce themselves and talk about events that happened to them and events that are coming up before moving onto questions. It has become a common trait of the show to have special guests to answer specialist questions the hosts may not be able to provide answers for. In 2008 for a few weeks Revision3 broadcast Tekzilla live, this has been stopped for uncited reasons however PA Serafina is quoted on the forums for saying, "There's details and red tape we still need to figure out. I'll keep you updated"^[1]. In more recent episodes viewers have been urged to upload video questions on YouTube, building on this Roger Chang mentioned during one of the 2008 live shows that he thinks having live skype calls would be a good addition to the show - however now that live shows have ceased this seems unlikely to happen. A new set (see below) will begin April 2 2009, which is being marketed by Revision3 as "Something's Coming to Tekzilla".^[2]

Set

Veronica Belmont on the new Spring 2009 onwards set

Since Spring 2009 Tekzilla has had a change for set, as pictured to the left. This includes a new area with a cityscape with red sunrays (similar to the Tekzilla logo) behind it. In addition the old faux brick wall has been painted white and has had various other cosmetic changes from the 2007-2009 set ^[3]. The set has two Vizio televisions - on Tekzilla Daily they are used to show screenshots, on the main show they are mostly used to show the Tekzilla logo and occasionally the output of a monitor. Since January 2009 the Tekzilla set has occupied the space previously used by Internet Superstar, a previous Revision3 show ^[4]
