About Zonk Media
An independent publisher of honest, personal video storytelling and the tools that make it sustainable.
Zonk Media started as a single YouTube channel: one Gen X guy in the Los Angeles suburbs, talking through life, family and survival on camera. It has grown into a small publishing operation with video, written stories and software that automates the work behind them.
What we do
Original content. Zonk publishes personal video stories about family, health, nostalgia, technology and everyday life. Every episode also becomes a written story here, so it can be read, searched and shared.
Tools for creators. We build software that automates the creator workstream: transcripts, titles, thumbnails, descriptions and publishing. We use these tools on our own channel first.
Our approach
- Honest over polished. Real stories, told plainly.
- Automate the busywork. Creators should spend their time creating.
- Own your audience. Video lives on YouTube, but your stories should also live on a site you control.
