Get ready for a new season of the “Valley Girl Show.” The new media talk show, hosted by Jesse Draper, kicked off its new season earlier today with the release of a “sneak peek” teaser trailer on its website. The highlight reel — embedded below — features fun clips from fifty new episodes and glimpses of some of the biggest names in business and tech, including Tony Hsieh (CEO of Zappos), Jimmy Wales (Co-Founder of Wikipedia), and Joe Saunders (CEO of Visa). In an interview published by Business Insider, Draper says the new season includes some of her personal heroes: “These people are incredibly amazing, and I want them to inspire the world the way they’ve inspired me.”
Now in its fourth season, the “Valley Girl Show” is a fun business talk show that features Jesse Draper interviewing some of the top CEOs and entrepreneurs in the world on her signature pink set. The show is a balance of goofy games, tough questions, and informative take-aways. USA Today called the show “must see TV for startups,” and it was recently featured in the Wall Street Journal and on the front page of the San Francisco Chronicle.
Past guests have included everyone from Ted Turner to Eric Schmidt, and the new season’s roster ranges from the founders of up-and-coming mobile apps like Tango, to more established startups like Eventbrite, and even a few living legends like Peter Gotcher of ProTools. If you don’t know who Peter Gotcher is, he pioneered digital sound software, transformed the music and entertainment business, and — love it or hate it — is largely responsible for that synthetic drumbeat in all of the music of the 1980s.
There are a few new places you can see the show, including on the Valley Girl Show’s mobile Apps, TV boxes like Roku and Boxee, and screens at fast-food restaurants like Taco Bell and Arby’s. These distribution channels are helping the brand navigate the new world of media and pursue “world domination.” In the meantime, as Draper says “we’re a startup just like anyone else. I think a lot of people don’t look at new media companies that are content producers like that, but they’re startups just like any technology startup with a product. Our product is our content and that’s what we’ve been honing in and working on.”
Check out the trailer for the new season below, and stay tuned for the launch of the first new episode on November 15th.
