Vanessa Rae – Web Host Extraordinaire

Vanessa Rae is a TV and internet-TV host, an actor, a producer, a painter, and a writer.  She’s has spent most of her career producing for traditional television, but  recently made the switch to hosting internet-TV, and since then, we’ve seen her all over the internet. So what’s Vanessa up to these days…and how does work on internet-TV compare to traditional TV?

I had the pleasure of a quick conversation with Vanessa to find out…

Vanessa hosts Dvice TV, a tech-gadget show powered by the Sci Fi Channel that’s seen a 25% increase in viewership since its recent makeover, which included a sleek new brand-name and Vanessa’s arrival as host.   She also works regularly on  RiverWired

, an unpretentious take on green living, and Pandomonium Minute, the show about shows distributed by Pando, a peer-to-peer network that lets users download and share large files quickly and easily.  We covered the launch of Pandomonium Minute here

In a world with increasingly converged media, it’s nice to see a face that can so easily shift between old and new.  As Vanessa noted, it’s all about 360 degree entertainment.
