Rick's Popcorn Playlist for Sun. April 25, 2016

A "popcorn playlist" is a Youtube playlist that features a wide variety of videos selected by one editor, in this case, me-- Rick Potvin.  I call it a popcorn playlist because it's suitable for sitting back to watch while eating popcorn-- much like a movie in a theatre or home. It's an alternative to those things.

Of course, the movie can be advanced by skipping over certain videos on the playlist by clicking the advance arrow. Or a selected video can be seen by using the drop down menu. Neither of those can be done with a remote control yet but Rick invites the TV industry to study his idea for upgrades to that this can be done.

Rick's popcorn playlist is not intended for viewers who are walking around with video-enabled smartphones. It is possible however to watch an internet enabled ipad propped up at the foot of the bed before sleeping. In fact, Rick includes late night Coast to Coast talk shows by Noori and Bell about ancient aliens at the end of the popcorn playlist for the viewer's late night listening experience. Another term for this method might be "video deejay".
