On February 6, comedy duo Rhett and Link uploaded a video titled "We're Done."
After a decade-plus of trying to pitch film projects to traditional Hollywood studios, they announced that they're opting instead to produce a TV-style show with the team they've built at Mythical...and distribute it directly through their YouTube channel.
A couple weeks later, Publish Press writer Nate Graber-Lipperman went to Mythical's studio in Burbank to learn more about the show — and talk to Rhett and Link about their complicated history with Hollywood.
This interview was part of "The Year Creators Went Hollywood," the cover story for The Publish Paper: Volume 2. It's a 28-page print zine we made that features original stories, artwork, and photography — get your copy here.

Today on the Colin and Samir Show, we’re joined by Hasan Piker. Hasan is one of Twitch's most prominent streamers. On his streams, he reacts to politics and global news to over 2.6 million Twitch followers.
His live coverage of the 2020 US Presidential election brought in over 230,000 live viewers. He’s also done collaborations with politicians like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
With this being an Election year in the US, we wanted to bring Hasan on to talk about the role of creators when it comes to politics. Whether or not you agree with his views on politics, this is an important discussion about news and information.
We're taking a break this week while we're on vacation, but as we hit the halfway point of 2024, we want your feedback on the show and what you want us to cover this year.

Our thoughts on the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity.
At the beginning of 2024, mass layoffs decimated newsrooms, leading some pundits to proclaim that the media industry was facing an "extinction-level event." But there are bright spots despite the uncertainty, starting with a pair of video journalists and longtime friends: Cleo Abram and Johnny Harris.
We called up the duo to invite you into one of their conversations — on what it means to go "independent," the potential of creator-led media businesses, and Johnny's love for...moss.
This "Creators on Creators" conversation appears in Volume 2 of The Publish Press Newspaper, a full-color, 28-page print zine we're dropping on June 28th.
On this episode, we interview Alex Banayan about his book The Third Door, and how he successfully interviewed leaders across fields through cold email outreach. Alex shares lessons about networking, outreach and providing value that every creator needs to know.
A conversation with the Head of Instagram, Adam Mosseri. If you want to ask Adam a question, follow him on Instagram @Mosseri, he does a weekly Q&A on Fridays.

19-year-old Harvard economics student Wesley Wang will be writing and directing a film based on his short nothing, except everything., which he uploaded to YouTube in Sept. 2023.

Creator, author, and Vlogbrother John Green first broke out into the mainstream spotlight when the film adaptation of his best-selling book 'The Fault in Our Stars' grossed over $300 million at the box office in 2014.
Ten years (and two more adaptations) later, John's 'Turtles All the Ways Down' is releasing on Max. Ahead of the in-person premiere, Publish Press writer Nate Graber-Lipperman sat down with John to hear his thoughts on the "collision course" of YouTube and Hollywood—and how growing online communities too large can paradoxically make their impact lesser.
Plus: Stick to the end for Colin and Samir's thoughts on what creators can learn from John about how to make real impact in viewers' lives.
