Wallstrip was a daily business satire news video podcast launch in October 2006, a year before the US stock market reached its peak. The initial concept was to highlight publicly traded companies whose stock was trading at or near an all time high. As the bear market set in, the show dropped the niche criterion and would feature other companies as well as make commentary on the economy at large. In May 2007, the program was acquired by CBS's interactive unit at an estimated value of US$4 million to US$ 5 million.

A typical show would last a couple of minutes. As the host presented the show, a corner of the screen would continually display a series of wacky photos that were loosely related to the narration to add humour of the content. Interviews with heads of various companies, industry insiders, and even the general public during on location shows were common.
