For people who are getting geo-blocked, try the Media Hint extension (I believe it&#x27;s available for Chrome and Firefox): <a href="https://mediahint.com/" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;mediahint.com&#x2F;</a>

&quot; SORRY BUT THIS VIDEO IS UNAVAILABLE FROM YOUR LOCATION<p>Its one of the detriments of living under a monarchy. But in case you can&#x27;t give up your silly accents and move to America, watch clips from .... etc. &quot;<p>To which I say ... &quot;GOD SAVE OUR GRACIOUS QUEEN!&quot;

I&#x27;m a fan of Colbert, but I wish he hadn&#x27;t let the comedy get in the way of the interview here. Sims didn&#x27;t get to say enough, and got cut off the couple of times he got serious questions. Hardly any steak, mostly sizzle.

Nice job on the interview Zach. You looked relaxed and like you were having fun. I think the trick with interviewing with Colbert is to sit back and let him be the funny guy.<p>It reminds me of my experiences talking about Rejection Therapy[1] on TV. With Dragons&#x27; Den, I was wound up tight as a clock and I think it had a lot to do with why I had my ass kicked. My appearance on the Jeff Probst Show went much smoother.<p>Again, it was a remarkably good interview, especially considering the nerdy subject matter.<p>[1] <a href="http://rejectiontherapy.com" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;rejectiontherapy.com</a>

Thanks for sharing this, it&#x27;s easy to get stuck in our Silicon Valley bubble. Thought it was really interesting how CodeAcademy was framed for mass media.

Well that&#x27;s just awesome. We&#x27;re being geoblocked in Australia but the joke is that we live in a monarchy? More like greedy corporate interests want to gouge as much money out of Australians as possible! Something I thought the Colbert Report was meant to highlight.<p>Hypocrites.

Only vaguely related, but Startup Vitamins was on The Daily Show (and CSPAN) last night.

Would you hire someone who learned to code on Codecademy?<p>I&#x27;m interested to hear what everyone thinks. Will Codecademy be able to &quot;connect people learning on the site with opportunities that fit their skill sets?&quot;

I would love to see the levels of traffic resulting from that.

Good to see them getting some renewed hype. They were on a roll for a while, but the buzz seemed to die down.

The subtitle writer obviously never heard of Codecademy.

If he made it sooner, many people won&#x27;t get hurt when try programming. anyway, best learning material for everyone!
