  1. Had me until the video games, feels like they're only doing them cause they're popular, but they don't have the all-important audio baggage to play off of, plus unlike music and movies, games last much longer, thus making charts pretty useless. Not to mention the multitude of platforms, how this generation is plain awful, etc. TV would work better imo, though they'd be perfect as the last chart, one of each medium.


  2. I'm glad a heavyweight like WTF is helping pull people in to Howl, but the black and white backdrop (no racist) of a scruffy studio is getting really stale, not least cause it's not a good representation of the website.

    There should be an interactive gallery a la Earwolf, albums are self-explanatory, but the podcasts & series need a lot more of a build-up than an alphabetical list of boxes.


  3. I love these things separately but apparently not mixed

    I'm the opposite, I only sampled it cause it's Who Charted, but just went on to prove they can get anyone to functional level. The completion-to-dud ratio so far is about 60/1, the best for such a long running pod. I'll retry #40 should I catch up, just for the f of it.

  4. Wonderful ep, I suggest personalizing the music chart to keep each guest guessing, and a nice mix of genres going.

    As for the summah lovefest, you can't enjoy one season without the other, it's like picking your fav color, useless on its own. It's also fundamentally wrong, because the cold is more beneficial for your body. You can have a summah in wintah, but no reverse!


  5. There was a time when I would've been impressed by namedropping Katy Perry, but since 2011, her music's been so unlistenable that she'd be unfit to cover Howard's TV theme song.

     

    It's great to have the spirit of Reno 911 still alive in Bajillion, I bootlegged it cause Seeso is US only, but I've already converted 3 friends to it.


  6. His defense of bestiality is why I like him, so I don't know what you could mean. He was the voice of reason and it made for the single most epic I4H episode ever. Anyway, in regards to popularity, you're exactly as famous as you need to be at any time, it's an effect, not a cause. Sorry to be a downer.


  7. I've been doing one a day since first coming upon it on Christmas, it's definitely the #1 hardest-to-get-sick-of podcast.

    I'm 10 eps ahead of you, and the blend of guests is relentlessly good, plus re-living all the music and movies of erstwhile is a really cool icing on the cake.

    I was put-off by the idea of it for a long time, presuming it was a serious analysis of pop culture, now I'm just a bit sorry the video thing didn't take off.

  8. It's so tough unless it's a catchphrase, all the good ones are a joke/ minute, so saying one is ignoring all the rest.

     

    CBB: My Wife?

     

    Affirmation: You'll know when I'm taking the piss cause it'll be slow and drippy and I'll be crying.

    -First time I saw you, I thought you were an upside-down umbrella on the ground.

    -Hurtful, but accurate.

     

    Rafflecast: Koala on my jacket, I see a car I jack it and it's all good, it's all good baby.

     

    Ronna & Beverly: Irregardless!

  9. Loved the Sheeran piss-taking the most.

    Ele Woods is a very seamless replacement for Ku.

    Had to search Milana Vayntrub after this, and binge watched her old 'Let's Talk About Something Interesting' series, which is literally the female version of Between Two Ferns, pure gold with the right guest.
