Frame100 Podcast

The Frame100 Podcast is a weekly brickfilming podcast hosted live on YouTube. It was created by Austin Garber (Frame5 Studios), and Tom Johnson (Scorch Bricks).

History
Austin Garber started the Frame100 Podcast on June 10, 2017, hosting it on his YouTube channel via Hangouts Live. Tom Johnson and Brick Tale Studios joined him for the first episode as an intro to the series. Guests Chris Major, Trevor Stevens, and Jared Johnson later joined as hosts.

In 2019, Garber, Johnson, and Brick Tale Studios retired as regular hosts from the podcast, opting for occasional appearances on episodes. Sam Futhey (Locker74 Productions) joined as a host shortly afterwards, following a guest appearance on an episode discussing his Ace Brickman series.

In June 2020, the podcast rebooted with hosts Chris Major, Trevor Stevens, Jared Johnson, Sam Futhey, and Marcus Phoon. The show switched from a live stream format to a pre-recorded format and was given a dedicated YouTube channel. Additional livestreams for community events were added to supplement regular episodes.

Season 1 (2017)
Season 1 originally aired on the Frame5 Studios channel, with Austin, Matt, and Tom as hosts. Each episode would be livestreamed via YouTube, with webcams live for hosts who so wished. Chris came on as a guest for two episodes and would later become a host for Season 2. Guests William Osborne and Seán Willis would later go on to create and host The World of Brickfilms Podcast.

Season 2 (2017)
Season 2 saw the additions of Chris, Jared, and Trevor as hosts, with Jared and Trevor joining partway through the season. Each episode was live streamed from the Frame5 Studios channel, with webcams enabled for some hosts and guests. Marcus came on as a guest towards the beginning half of the season for his film and would later become a host.

Season 3 (2018)
Season 3 would see a transition from the Frame5 Studios YouTube channel to a dedicated Frame100 Podcast channel, starting midway through the season. This would be the last season to stream webcams live through the old Google Hangouts interface.

Season 4 (2018-2019)
Season 4 was the last season to feature original hosts Austin, Matt, and Tom, as all would retire to pursue other interests in the Lego community. A new streaming format was developed for the season, save the final episode of the season which reverted to the original live webcam format. Midway through, Sam came in as a guest and would become a host for the remainder of the season and the next season of the show.

Reboot (2020-Present)
Frame100 rebooted the podcast with a new pre-recorded format in mid 2020, focusing on different aspects of the brickfilming process, commenting on community events and contests, and discussing updates to personal projects. The show quickly departed from the season format and restarted from episode 1 to cement the format of the new show. Marcus joined as a host with the first episode, developing the new format with Chris, Jared, Trev, and Sam long before his debut.

Special Events (2020-Present)
With the announcement of the Brickfilmer's Guild Awards during the annual Brickfilm Day event, Frame100 hosted events to livestream reactions and commentary to both the Brickfilmer's Guild. Intended as a recurring event, the following year included live reactions to the films in the official Brickfilm Day 2021 playlist.
