YouTube

Establishing his YouTube channel in 2011,[3] Jurasek's initial focus was on a series of energy drink reviews known as Energy Crisis. He has since diversified to include a food review series, Running On Empty, which focuses on fast food and frozen ready-made meals. A third, as yet unnamed series focuses on reviewing specialty drinks.

As of October 2021, Jurasek's YouTube channel, TheReportOfTheWeek, has over 2.47 million subscribers and 226 million views.

Regarding the type of food items featured in his reviews he has stated, "Is every average American going to be eating a steak dinner every night? No. Fast food though, well, there's usually a McDonald's every half-mile... I want to be applicable to the largest number of people."[7]

Radio

In addition to his YouTube offerings, Jurasek hosts a weekly shortwave radio program, VORW Radio International. The program has been transmitted primarily by WBCQ, WWCR, and WRMI.[8] The program runs for around one hour and features commentary and listener-requested music. The show also features regular shoutouts, 1920s humor, and responses to listener messages, encouraging a community aspect that Jurasek cites as being more positive than his YouTube viewers.

As of February 2019, Jurasek has also begun uploading regular podcasts, recorded shortwave shows, and live streams to YouTube via his channel VORW Podcast, which has accumulated over 83,000 subscribers as of November 4, 2021.
