Higher Ed TV: “RealNebraska” from UNL, an entertaining way to communicate with prospective students

In November 2005, I wrote about this great show produced by the admission office of the University of Nebraska in Lincoln. At that time, the episodes had just been made available as video podcasts a few weeks after the launch of the the video Ipod:

It didn’t take too long to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln to repurpose its admission-oriented streaming videos available on the Admission website, “Real Nebraska”

As reported in “UNL podcasts reach out to prospective students” an article published in The Daily Nebraskan, this show is “modeled after The Daily Show staring Jon Stewart. Real Nebraska is a monthly recruitment video series started in 2003 that comically showcases student life at UNL.”

After watching their last show yesterday in iTunes (I’m a David Burge’s fan — the associate director of admissions who is also the host of RealNebraska), I searched YouTube to see if they were available on the video sharing website.

I found only these 2 episodes (Red Letters Days and Big Red Welcome) posted in September 2006:

At the time of this post, both videos were only viewed respectively 82 and 132 times, which I find surprising.

How comes they haven’t gone viral yet? Any idea?
