I am on day 1 of Original Content. I started this show on the first week, but I was without internet for a while so I couldn't listen live. I decided to go through it because I've become a fan of Totally Laime and I got curious. I'm making this topic because of what Matt is saying during the opening of this episode. I think that The Earwolf Challenge was a very successful experiment but definitely a learning process for everyone. I absolutely think a season 2 should be done sometime after Totally Laime's one year contract is up. I think the structure of the show could be polished and tightened up, which you guys are talking about in my headphones right now, and I think this show was definitely interesting and entertaining enough to earn a second season.

Also, I'm wondering (and forgive me if this has been talked about, I haven't really browsed the forum) what will happen at the end of Totally Laime's contract. I personally will continue to listen whether or not they stay with Earwolf, but returning to defend their title could be interesting for season 2 of the Challenge. I also kind of think it would be silly for Earwolf to let go of a successful show, so maybe instead they could return to be directly involved with a specific challenge or something completely new or whatever.

Anyway, I'm enjoying the show and I hope we see more of it.

I think TL should pass off a golden condenser mic to the next winner.

Hello Earwolf!

I've been slowly making my way through your catalogue and thoroughly enjoying myself. And today I just finished the Earwolf Challenge series. I enjoyed it so much. As an amateur performance artist and fervent admirer/practitioner of goof, I really appreciated Matt's in-depth critiques; they are lessons for all performers. I live in Ashland, Oregon, and I'm currently working with a director on creating an improvisational clown character that I can take into public spaces to perform with, as well as doing some other theatre/music performance stuff in the area, after a hiatus of 20 years; the Earwolf Challenge was a great encouragement and instruction for me. I continue to listen to Comedy Bang Bang in particular for inspiration as well as pure enjoyment, and I'm so happy I found you all.

Thanks to Matt Besser and everyone else involved in the process of the creation of this reality podcast competition. I hope that you do it again. It was funny, absorbing and very informative about the craft of comedy.

Thanks, and please keep up the great work, Earwolf.
