Popular topics have included Prom and Formal Make-Up, How To Host a Movie Night, and How To Make a Chocolate-Raspberry Smoothie.
"So far, 'How-To's' food episodes have been about easy-to-prepare recipes that work great for high schoolers and in college dorm kitchens," said Madeline Merced, the show's creator and co-producer. "I am excited about the partnership between 'How To' and TasteTV because our show is about teaching young people that doing it yourself is fulfilling and less expensive, and TasteTV, with it's Internet presence and Video On Demand channels offers us a unique platform to reach a broader audience."
Eric Wyeth, director and co-producer of the "How-To" podcast, took the opportunity to announce that the duo would be launching a new podcast series, "Taste of How To," meant to compliment their new relationship with TasteTV.com. "While the overall goal is to continue to keep things simple," Eric said, "Madeline and I also want to explore some more complex themes, such as regional cuisines, gourmet recipes, coverage of food festivals, farmer's markets and high end restaurants. 'Taste of How-To' will allow us to do that, by mixing original episodes created just for TasteTV with re-edited versions of our current offerings."
