'''Cube News 1''' is a bi-weekly comic video about surviving life in the corporate cubicle. From Cube News Central, her cubicle, Kim, a high-spirited cube worker, does these two to five minute 'cube-casts' covering such topics as “Feeling Postal”, coping with office rage, “Chair Butt”, the peril of sedentary work, and “Cube De-Coder”, deciphering corporate gibberish.
 
A recent addition is the spin-off '''The Adventures of CubeCubegirl''' Girl(''Cubegirl''), a cubicle worker by day but super hero when needed, who collates faster than a copy machine, and is saving the world, one cubicle at a time. This serial follows the exploits of our intrepid heroine, impeded only by her weakness from gypsum dust, as she rescues coworkers from various forms of corporate abuse. These five to seven minute videos of Kim's alter ego are done on a broader scale than Cube News 1, with various sets, supporting cast, special effects, and, of course, the occasional elaborate sword play.</div>

==Show History==
 
<div style="text-align: justify;">The history of the show is the history of the collaborative team of Kim Waldauer and Robert Christophe who come to podcasting with credentials from the old old medium, stage. Kim, actress comedienne, producer, director, author and Christophe, actor<ref name=actor>{{ cite web | title=Review of Robert Christophe and Kim Waldauer's (the team) play, "Michigan Impossible" in New York | url=http://www.nytheatre.com/nytheatre/archweb/arch_015.htm#MICHIGAN_IMPOSSIBLE}}</ref>, author, mime<ref name=mime>{{ cite web | title=Review of the team's play, "Michigan Impossible" in Philadelphia | url=http://www.citypaper.net/articles/012998/crtmsld.revs2.shtml?print=1}}</ref>, director, producer, cinematographer met while working at the Brick Playhouse in Philadelphia, shortly after Kim received her BFA from the University of The Arts.
[[Image:Cubegirl_still-a.jpg|left|<!-- {{deletable image-caption|1=Friday, 18 January 2008}} -->]]
<div style="text-align: justify;"> There they created a number of plays<ref>{{ cite web | title=The Brick Playhouse's "Best Of" citings for the team's plays "Campers" and "The Perfect Fit" | url=http://www.thebrickplayhouse.org/Production%20Pages/p_it_1996-1997.htm}}</ref>. Christophe received several Barrymore awards<ref>{{ cite web | title=Philadelphia's Theater Alliance's BaryymoreBarrymore nominations and awards for Robert Christophe | url=http://search.atomz.com/search/?sp_a=sp052b4f05&sp_f=iso-8859-1&sp_q=%22robert+christophe%22&submit.x=14&submit.y=13}}</ref> for his efforts from the Theater Alliance of Greater Philadelphia, the highest award Philadelphia has to offer.
 
This critical and audience acclaim led them to found the production company Red Road Productions (now defunct), which gave Kim the opportunity to further her directing skills<ref>{{ cite web | title=Kim's Directing | url=http://brettsinger.com/clients/michiganimpossible.html}}</ref>. Their productions ran in Philadelphia and New York and toured colleges and schools along the Mid-Atlantic region.
 
Wanting to create something more lasting, they moved to LA in 2001 where they did the usual things<ref>{{ cite web | title=The team's production of "The CanpersCampers" at Los Angeles's 24'th Street Theatre, 2002 | url=http://www.24thstreet.org/theatre_past2.html}}</ref> to try to get into the writing and acting business, including standup for Kim.
 
Along the way they had been writing a movie which they finally produced independently, releasing '''''The Bedstand'''''<ref>{{ cite web | title=Their independent Film "The Bedstand", IMDb | url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0762075/}}</ref><ref>{{ cite web | title=Review of their film "The Bedstand"| url=http://www.dvd-lasercritique.com/thebedstandmoviereview.htm}}</ref> in October, 2005. While this received critical approval<ref>{{ cite web | title=Review of their film "The Bedstand" at dvdtown | url=http://www.dvdtown.com/news/the-bedstand/2848}}</ref>, it did not provide an immediate source of income that replaced the production costs.
 
Thus, in 2002 Kim found herself working in an office cubicle. The stiltedness and frequent foolishness of it all slowly got to her, and, troughthrough her venting, to her husband. Noting that she did have a humorous, albeit strong, way of expressing her ire, he suggested that it be put to use in a comedy sketch and Cube News 1 was born.
 
While the early Cube News 1 episodes were largely scripted, Kim now improvises virtually every episode with no less polish due to her professional performing background and strong feelings about the absurd.
 
Many episodes are suggested by welcomed viewer's E-Mail<ref>{{ cite web | title=Cube News 1 E-Mail | url=http://www.cubenews1.com/}}</ref> containing their experiences and questions about workplace issues. Apparently Kim is not alone.</div>
