Transmission Awesome is the official podcast of Channel Awesome. It stars contributors Rollo T, Y Ruler of Time, PushingUpRoses and PawDugan. In the show, set up like a radio show, the hosts discuss goings on on the website from the best blog of the week to videos. The show also has a series of interviews where they talk to other contributors such as Benzaie. Former hosts include Coldguy, Mike Michaud, Sean Fausz, AngryJoe and Dr. Gonzo. Rollo T initially pitched the idea for a podcast in late 2008 and was summarily accepted into the ranks of Channel Awesome, thus becoming the official podcast of the website.

The podcast took a break in 2012 and returned June 1st 2014 with new co-hosts, ThatChickWithTheGoggles and SonikGav!

Musical Break/The Paw's Button

After the interview segment, the podcast features a musical interlude where the song they choose are usually upbeat and can get your fists pumping. Starting with the beginning of season 3, the musical segment was called "The Paw's Button". These songs are often picked by Paw as he edits the podcast. After the musical break, the team segues into the Awesome Blogs of the Week.

Awesome Blog of the Week

The Awesome Blogs of the Week are blogs picked by the Transmission Awesome boys as they select what they think are the best blogs on the site. For more information, please see the article.

Forum Focus

Forum Focus started July 30th, 2009 and is a spotlight on various threads on the TGWTG.com forums. The guys look at the topic of the day and discuss it. Usually, it is a thought provoking thread that becomes a Forum Focus.

Cameos

The team has also showed up in other videos on the site. Most recently, they had showed up in the Christmas 2008 video and in the special video farewell to That Dude in the Suede. Rollo T also had a bit part in the third installment of the Year Two event, Kickassia where he reported for Transmission Awesome News.
