I think they did a similar thing with Nerd Poker, albeit an episode 1-2 weeks old rather than a month or so. They've also done with the premiere episodes of some new regular shows. My guess is that it makes new shows more visible by pushing them out to people who subscribe to Presents but don't necessarily visit the site.

Sorry for the confusion. Here's the deal. We thought Earwolf Presents would be a great way to debut new shows. It already has a bunch of subscribers who theoretically would want to know what is new. So we did that for a while and found very few of those listeners were subscribing to the new shows that way. So we changed course and started to release new shows on their own feeds and then put their first ep out on EP the day before the second ep dropped, so anyone who missed it would have a chance to listen. It's too soon to say if that strategy is a good one.
Unfortunately, YO was part of the transition and we're playing catch up, that's why this ep was put out on EP so late and we chose not the first one, but the full PFT ep since we thought that was a popular ep that would do the best job of showcasing the show.
What do you guys think?

Honestly, it doesn't make a bit of difference to me since I download shows directly from the site. But I do think the reasoning behind it is good.

I think it's a good idea, hopefully it works. You definitely picked the right episode of the show.
Thanks guys. This thread inspired me to create a new Q&A thread, head over there if you have any other general questions. Thanks!

On the topic of Native American sports teams, this song (Atom and His Package: If You Own the Washington Redskins, You're a Cock) does a great job of describing the issue, and is pretty funny.
Lyrics follow, if you want to read along-
I like sports, so there are some things I force myself to miss
Like I never met an athlete I like, and hockey in Texas
But when it comes to Native American nicknamed teams
Even within the context of sports it's awful and mean
And you'll go "wah wah wah, you're so PC"
And I will say "wait"
My my my, how have the tables turned so that being a fucking prick is a desirable trait?
While we're on the subject of changing team names
There's no jazz in Utah and few lakes in LA
Just this once, give me the benefit of the doubt
The Bullets became the Wizards, too violent? Get out!
And you'll go "wah wah wah, you're so PC"
And I will say "wait"
Remind me again how it came to be that being 'the stupid American' became a desirable trait
Wouldn't it be offensive if we cheered "rah rah rah" for the Carolina Negroes
With our beat box cheer in our fake foam afros?
Or if the Minnesota Vikes became the New York Kikes
With dollar bills on their helmets cause that's what they like, you know?
"Atom, what about the Saints, Angels, Padres too?
Ain't that the same thing for Christians that's offending you?"
When there's a Jesus Christ Mascot hot dog shooting crucifix thing
Nailed to a cross, dying to save the team
You'll be right, you'll be right
But until then
You're not right
So what's your take on the Washington Redskins, what's your take on the Cleveland Indians?
What's your take on the Washington Redskins, what's your take on the Cleveland Indians?
