Overview
The Hello Internet (HI) podcast has been started in January 2014 by its two co-host CGP Grey and Brady Haran. The podcast features discussions pertaining to their lives as professional content creators for YouTube, as well as their interests and annoyances. Typical topics include new gadgets, technology etiquette, workplace efficiency, wristwatches, plane accidents, vexillology, and the differences between Grey's and Haran's personal mannerisms.[1] As a result of their conversations, Haran has been credited as coining the term "freebooting" to refer to the unauthorized rehosting of online media.[2]
Reception
The podcast peaked as the #1 iTunes podcast in United Kingdom, United States, Germany, Canada, and Australia.[3] It was selected as one of Apple's best new podcasts of 2014.[4] Grey reported a podcast listenership of approximately "a quarter million" downloads per episode as of September 2015.[5]

After the show(??timeline??), Grey asked twitter @StarBucksUK to have them in all Starbucks in the United Kingdom. The situation went viral, when listener started to ... In episode ..., the hosts came back on the ripple effect of eventually turned the whole "viral bullying"(??) into a structured campaign to raise awareness about the issue of hot drink spillages, more specifically their nefarious effects for small children. On october 19 2015, Brady Haran blogged about this initiative and the creation of a fundraising campaign in favour of the Children's Burn Trust.
