Tyson Eberly Host & Producer

Tyson has been an advocate of The Zeitgeist Movement since its inception in 2008. In 2010, he approached TZM Austin members Peter Perez, Chad Fisher, and Eric Summers about creating a show on Austin's public access channel to expand conscious awareness of The Zeitgeist Movement and a Resource Based Economy. Tyson was able to utilize the experience he gained as a producer of his first public access show, Tyson TV, to quickly and efficiently set ZEITGEIST LIVE into motion.

The meeting between these four occurred at Bouldin Creek Cafe, a coffee shop whose interior resembled a labyrinth that invitee Ryan Bain was unable to surmount. As Tyson, Eric, Chad, and Peter sat in the back room and began preproduction propelled by a torrent of creative fervor, Ryan sat in the embrace of a cool Austin evening out on the patio, writing and awaiting some sign that the meeting was still on. He left after an hour, assuming that the meeting had been cancelled and his lack of a cell phone had severed his line of communication with the group. The next day, Tyson informed Ryan that the meeting did happen in Ryan's apparent absence. Ryan revealed to Tyson that he had been outside the whole time.

At the next meeting, all of the founding members of ZEITGEIST LIVE came together and forged a vision for the first iteration of the show, which was then titled ZEITCHRIST, a promo for which will be available in the Season 1 Archive.

Chad Fisher Creative Director & Social Commentator www.chadfishercomedy.com

Chad became involved with ZEITGEIST LIVE soon after his move to Austin from Ohio. Won over by mild winters and warm hearts, Chad is always singing the praises of the Texas Hill Country. During the first season of the show, Chad functioned as the coordinating Director, forging among our rag-tag group a unifying chemistry and common lexicon that remains to this day. Chad took a brief hiatus from the show during the second season to focus on his primary interest outside of ZEITGEIST LIVE: comedy. Since his arrival in Austin, Chad has produced several comedy videos rooted in the theme of replacing the current fear-laden social paradigm with a system founded and inspired by love and intelligence. These videos include Alex Jones: Mad as Hell and Nick Putnam: Takin' it to the Streets. Chad returned to ZEITGEIST LIVE in the midst of season two to reprise his legendary Social Commentary segment and support the crew with his wide-ranging technical expertise.
