The newest series from PBS Digital Studios features a pair of stars who are several decades apart. It’s called The ChatterBox, and it will follow Kevin Droniak and his grandmother Lil as they explore current Internet, tech, and culture trends.
Droniak, whose YouTube channel has more than 462,000 subscribers, is known for pranking his grandmother, soliciting reactions from his grandmother, and, in general, making videos that somehow involve his grandmother. When you listen to Lil speak, it’s easy to understand the appeal. She’s hilariously blunt, filter-free, and very opinionated.
For The ChatterBox, PBS Digital Studios is bringing Droniak and his grandmother to the world of tech. In each episode, the two co-hosts will tackle a youthful topic, such as gifs, unboxing videos, and Dubsmash. An array of experts will join the fun to weigh in with their own opinions alongside those of Kevin and Lil. The first episode will launch on October 8th on the series’ official channel, where a trailer is currently available:

“The ChatterBox is fun and irreverent, while also having an element of discovery—a combination that the PBS Digital Studios audience has come to expect from our videos,” said Brandon Arolfo, Senior Director of Content Development at PBS Digital Studios, in a press release. “We’re thrilled to welcome Kevin and Grandma Lil to PBS Digital Studios and know The Chatterbox will be a great addition to our network.”
The ChatterBox is a co-production between PBS Digital Studios and New York public media company WNET. PBSDS and WNET worked together previously on a web series called First Person.
