Advice to experienced and novice Vloggers. Amanda Congdon, born 1981 in New York City, is the co-producer and host of a weekly vidcast for ABC. She has an independent videoblog, Starring Amanda Congdon. She is also co-president of Oxmour Entertainment along with Mario Librandi and was the host of Amanda Across America before it concluded. However, she is probably best known for hosting the daily news show Rocketboom (which Salon described as "one of the most popular video blogs on the Web."[1]), which she hosted and produced until June 23, 2006. She is still the co-owner (49%) of Rocketboom but a controversial dispute between her and the 51% shareholder Andrew Baron has resulted in her no longer hosting or producing the show. She also co-scripted and was the co-executive producer of Rocketboom's sister channel JETSET.[2]
