While a part of Website/ChannelAwesome, The Omega hosted the VideoReviewShow ''The Omega: Iteration 0: Sic Transit Mundus'' and short opinion pieces called ''This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things''. The latter followed his move to Website/RTGomerProductions, where he also hosts ''Omega Reviews'' and ''Omega's Specials''. He has been a member of two podcasts: ''Podcast/LesbianTalk'', with RealLife wife WebVideo/DiamandaHagan, and ''Podcast/ThespianTalk'', with Holly Christine (former webmistress of Website/ThatGuyWithTheGlasses), The Cat (one of the hosts of ''Nerd to the Third Power'', also on TGWTG), and Gomer the Ranting Thespian (of RT Gomer Productions). His show ''What Went Right?'' looks at the golden moments of 1980s children's TV programming.
