Welcome to Chuckle.video, your new go-to blog for decoding the wild world of video streaming. Whether you’re a curious newbie, a tech-savvy fan, or just someone trying to keep up with what actually makes Netflix work, you’re in the right place.
We started this blog with one simple idea: streaming shouldn’t require a PhD to understand. There’s a lot of complex stuff behind your favourite TV shows, live sports, and TikTok rabbit holes — from adaptive bitrates to DRM to edge caching — and we’re here to explain it all in plain English.
Who are we?
We’re two streaming nerds with years of experience building and scaling video platforms:
🎬 Jonny Fairfull – Director of Streaming Engineering. He’s spent the last decade solving problems you’ve probably never heard of but definitely benefit from — like reducing latency during live sports or making sure video quality stays sharp even on dodgy WiFi.
🧠 Josh Casey – Product Director. Josh is the guy asking “Why?” in every meeting. He’s all about making complex systems usable, useful, and (when possible) a little bit fun.
Together, we’ve seen what happens behind the curtain — from live event meltdowns to major platform launches — and we want to demystify it for anyone who’s interested.
What can you expect?
- Straight-talking breakdowns of industry buzzwords (think: HLS, AV1, CDN… but without the jargon)
- Hot takes on the latest streaming tech trends
- Behind-the-scenes insights from building real-world video products
- The occasional chuckle, because if you can’t laugh at buffering, what can you laugh at?
We’ll keep it short, sharp, and actually readable. No sales pitches. No fluff. Just genuinely helpful content from two people who live and breathe streaming.
