Zach Anner And Reddit Launch New Online Travel Show: 'Riding Shotgun'



Remember Zach Anner, the funny guy with cerebral palsy that launched a travel show on Oprah's Network last year? Our friend and Internet metagod Alexis Ohanian reached out yesterday to let us know that they're moving the show to the Internet in a new series called "Riding Shotgun."

Funded by Mr. Ohanian's uncorporation Breadpig (they're also behind the xkcd book and sell awsomesauce), Riding Shotgun will cull all of its ideas from reddit, where users will be able to vote on destinations as well as activities in each spot. The show will visit eight of the top voted destinations, and right now Montreal, New Orleans, Denver and San Francisco are all in a heated battle for the top spot.

The result will be a multimedia mixture of user-submitted videos, maps and a full YouTube series. In their words:

Think Anthony Bourdain, but instead of a crotchety indifference to everything, we'll have a crotchety exuberance for everything with more fun, more wigs and more wheelchairs.

We can't wait for the result. Check out the show's details over on Mr. Anner's site or vote on destinations over on reddit.
