🔥 From Vision to Reality: How Moss Media Became a Content Powerhouse
In today’s content-saturated digital world, standing out takes more than just pressing "record." It takes passion, purpose, and a crew that brings real chemistry and authenticity to every frame. Enter Tim Moss Jr., the creator and driving force behind Moss Media Network, a content-sharing hub built not just for entertainment, but for meaningful, hilarious, and relatable storytelling.
Tim didn’t set out to follow the rules. He’ll be the first to tell you that the And Then What? The podcast isn’t technically a podcast at all. “It’s a show,” he says proudly, explaining that for now, it lives entirely in visual format on YouTube, with no audio-only version available. But don’t let that fool you, what it lacks in traditional formatting, it more than makes up for in charisma, consistency, and connection.
"My goal was to build a brand of content that's not only entertaining but also insightful and just flat-out fun to watch," Tim says. And that’s exactly what Moss Media has become: a place where unfiltered conversations, natural humor, and dynamic personalities come together to create a digital experience that keeps viewers coming back week after week.
👤 The Faces Behind the Mic: Meet the And Then What? Crew
A key part of Moss Media's magic lies in its chemistry. Rather than assembling a cast of strangers, Tim brought in longtime friends who have a deep-rooted history together. These aren't just co-hosts, they're family. The core lineup includes:
James Wilson – The merchandise and accessories mastermind, currently preparing to launch the official Moss Media merch line.
DK Ellis Jr. – Known for his perspective and humor.
Tim Dillard Jr. – Brings insight and quick wit.
Carl Word Jr. – A strong voice with a commanding presence.
With over two decades of shared life experience, this group doesn’t have to fake chemistry. It’s embedded in their conversations, the inside jokes, and even the disagreements. “We talk on mic just like we talk off mic,” Tim explains. "That's what makes it real."
Tim himself wears multiple hats: host, producer, editor, and content strategist. His attention to detail and hands-on approach ensure that each episode maintains a high level of quality, both visually and in terms of pacing and storytelling.
📻 What to Expect When You Hit Play
Every episode of And Then What? is a wild card, and that’s by design. “It’s an unfiltered, highly opinionated conversation with the guys that sometimes leads to a heated debate no matter what the topic is,” says Tim.
Topics range from nostalgic moments in pop culture and local legends to the latest in sports and music. But no matter what they’re discussing, the conversations are engaging and grounded in real-life experiences. It’s a space where barbershop talk meets intelligent debate, a cultural crossroads for viewers who crave substance and swagger.
Preparation is key. Tim lays out an episode blueprint with a detailed topic list and intro music to set the tone. But once the camera starts rolling, the energy in the room dictates the flow. “I prep for every episode, but I let the conversation breathe,” he explains. "That’s when the best moments happen."
🤣 Humor, Honesty & Heart: The Show’s Emotional Core
If there’s one thing that sets And Then What? apart, it’s the laughter. Humor isn’t an accessory here, it’s the foundation. “Humor is gold when it comes to content for me,” Tim says. “Laughter is contagious, and that energy sets the tone for everything else.”
The show’s light-hearted tone doesn’t mean they avoid deeper conversations. The humor often serves as a bridge into meaningful dialogue. That balance is part of what makes the show so special. It’s not just about jokes; it’s about authentic moments between people who truly know each other.
A perfect example? Their episode with Andre Kendrick, a Lynchburg sports legend. "Having Dre on before he took the coaching job with Michael Vick at Norfolk State was a moment. It showed how far we’ve come as a show and how connected we are to the culture around us."
💬 More Than Talk: A Real Connection With Viewers
At its core, Moss Media is about connection. “People love the show and appreciate the consistency we have week to week,” Tim says. He’s built a growing audience of viewers who feel like part of the conversation.
The show resonates most with people who appreciate raw, honest dialogue without political correctness getting in the way. "Our ideal listener is someone with a great sense of humor who isn’t easily offended and just loves good conversation."
And that’s what makes And Then What? more than just a podcast, it’s a community. A place where real talk reigns supreme, and viewers walk away feeling like they just kicked it with the homies.
🚀 Looking Ahead: The Evolution of Moss Media
Tim Moss doesn’t plan to stop at just one show. “I envision creating a network with multiple versions of media content built on the success of the podcast,” he says.
Future plans include:
Expanding guest appearances
Launching a full merchandise store
Collaborating with other creators
Diversifying into different show formats under the Moss Media umbrella
And of course, there's the dream of one day sitting down with VA legends like Pharrell or Timbaland. "That would be full circle for me," Tim says. "They’re hometown icons."
📺 Where to Start: The Must-Watch Episode
If you’re new to And Then What?, Tim recommends starting with:
Episode 39: "Peekaboo" ft. Anthony “Train” Johnson
“It’s one of our best episodes. Train brought a lot of energy that really lifted the entire vibe. It showed everything the show is about: fun, insight, and real conversation.”
✨ Final Words of Wisdom From Tim Moss
For those thinking about launching a show of their own, Tim keeps it real:
“Make sure you’re all willing to show up and be consistent, or it won’t work.”
And if you rock with And Then What??
“You’re the type of person who enjoys a good laugh and conversation with friends that you can relate to.”
