How it started

Two besties who once had a show, now a community.

Eugene Capon and Topher Welsh first connected through their shared passion for creating nerdy content on the internet. Topher, a former radio shock jock, went on to found After Effects Seattle, one of the largest motion design user groups in the country. At the time, Eugene was serving as senior editor at Comic Shop TV, where he also hosted the company’s daily YouTube news show. Their friendship began when Topher invited Eugene to present a 360 animated film he had premiered at SIFF just a few months earlier.

In 2016, Eugene was given the opportunity to create his own show, Glitched: A VR Talk Show. Co-hosted by Eugene and Topher, the series brought weekly guests, recurring gimmicks, and original conversations into virtual reality. The show went on to run for three full seasons, becoming a standout project in the early days of VR entertainment.

After Eugene briefly served as a spokesperson for Skype, the two stepped away for five years to focus on major life events and new priorities. Now, they have reunited to evolve Eugene’s personal brand into a community-driven social media series built around shared curiosity, technology, and internet culture.
