An unaffiliated fan project

A second screen for The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast

The show is dense, tangent-heavy and full of things you would rather watch than hear described. quaid.media follows the episode you are listening to and puts the shorts, trailers and music videos on screen at the moment the hosts get to them.

It is built by one listener, it is free, and it has no connection to the people who make the podcast.

What it is for

The second screen

Play an episode and the page keeps up: the short being argued about, the trailer being quoted, the video nobody can remember the name of.

The shorts archive

All 100 SNL Digital Shorts, tracked as the podcast works through them, plus the tangent media — the films, records and adverts that come up on the way.

Community rankings

Sign in with an account you already have and sort a short into Criterion, Kim's Video, Additional Reading or Scrap. The community verdict sits next to the hosts' official ruling.

The host hubs

Seth's Corner, the Quibee scoreboard, Keev's Peeves and Thorns & Roses — each entry a dated quote from a specific minute of a specific episode.

About the timestamps

The podcast's audio is ad-stitched: every download is assembled when it is requested, so your copy of an episode and mine hold different adverts at different lengths, and the same moment can sit almost a minute apart in the two files. Every timestamp here is measured against the ad-free program audio, and the player works out the offsets for your copy rather than assuming you hear what I hear.

Being built in the open

This is the first piece to go live: the site itself. The episode archive, the player, the shorts tracker and the voting arrive one at a time, and this page will link to each of them as it lands.
