FRED: Lucas Cruikshank's YouTube legacy

This week we chat Fred, the high-pitched, hyperactive, and arguably highly annoying character created by Lucas Cruikshank.

We touch on how the channel became incredibly popular on early YouTube, how Lucas used his online popularity to launch a mainstream acting career on Nickelodeon, and the eventual spoiler peaceful retirement of the Fred character.

This week we are subscribing to:

Lucy: Mochi
