DankPods - A Legend Among Us

Why DankPods is Absolutely Brilliant

DankPods represents everything great about YouTube: genuine passion, authentic personality, and content that educates while entertaining. Wade's ability to make a 20-year-old iPod fascinating, or turn a $2 MP3 player into comedy gold, is nothing short of genius.

He's brought back appreciation for quality audio, taught millions about impedance and DACs, and somehow made battery replacements thrilling. His enthusiasm is contagious, his knowledge is deep, and his humor is perfectly Australian—dry, self-deprecating, and absolutely hilarious.
