The 3-minute, weekly show explores the growing number of people following unique, interesting, strange and sometimes questionable pursuits. Our witty, quirky and curious guide is performance artist Carlen Altman. From her base at her mom's house in Brighton Beach, New York, she goes out and meets chess hustlers, extreme skateboarders, people who joust on bicycles, guys who explore the forgotten tunnels under New York, techno geeks building artistic robots and many others. The show follows Carlen in a fast-paced, documentary style as she seeks out and asks these people what they do and why.
