Not enough time to answer thoughtfully. I can say, you are right. Except for the iTunes part, that an invalid complaint. We are best in class on that. iTunes can be slow to update feeds, but we have built a custom piece of software that goes in and refreshes our feeds when iTunes doesn't. So it's not a problem for long when it happens compared to everyone else who just makes you wait for iTunes to catch up. I guess, that's my answer. For each problem you see that would take minutes to solve, we've solved 10 more that you didn't know about. And ran out of minutes. But we are starting to brainstorm on new website ideas because I hate this one. But keep in mind, it was awesome when it was new Thanks for listening and caring so much!

Thanks Memph! We're always working on new shows, some happen, some don't, it's hard to say. It's been especially hard with Scott working so hard on season 2 of CBB TV. Sorry, I wish I could be more informative.

Thanks! It really means a lot when you guys say such kind things. There are dark days and this makes those easier to get through. And I couldn't agree more, PFT is a gift to all of podcasting!

1. Good question. This only applies to the ads that run in our archives. It's called CPA, or cost per action. It is very generous of them. The benefit to them is that they aren't paying us for the ads, they only pay us for the business that comes from the ads, so there is no risk on their part. Additionally, they don't pay us for any subsequent orders from the same customers, and they believe that people will keep coming back because their stuff is so great (it is). 2. I don't have anything new to add to this conversation, not right now anyway. Sorry. I know, it's frustrating! Thanks for the kind words!

Thursday night!

Please play nice.

Working on it!

I'll be doing a live Wolf Den tomorrow at 4pm PST on Earwolf Radio and I'll be taking your calls! So call me tomorrow!

The best part is the old poker table we used to use for recording in our first studio.

Google calendars. We have one calendar that everyone is shared on and the hosts book their times. If there is a conflict, one of the engineers or Lauren the studio manager will get involved to help out. But for the most part, it runs smoothly as most hosts are able to follow our studio guidelines (yes, we have a doc to cover all this) and make things easy-ish.

Unfortunately Chase, we don't work that way. There is no shortage of great ideas; the shortage is in resources and artists who have the talent, passion and time to execute the ideas. Sorry!

Contracts.

What show?

Good catch! MIHH is not part of Earwolf, but is part of themidroll.com. Thanks for your help!

Yes! The more shows the better. This is really important. While the questions are all the same, the answers are only for each show and therefore they have their own results. We tried to make it easier for you guys by selecting multiple shows for one set of answers, but the survey software/our developers couldn't accommodate, which is a shame. I know not many people will do it for many shows. But if you are willing, we'd be very thankful.

Thank you for the compliment. I hope the rest of you are paying attention! Re Garlin - He had 14 when we started and is recording #15 with Will Ferrell on Monday night. Jeff plans on doing them monthly for the foreseeable future. Our agreement was for 13 episodes, so we know those will come out bi-weekly. If we continue for another 13, we'll basically run out and would have to go to monthly in that case. But everyone is happy and we love the show so I'm hoping we continue indefinitely. Re Mailing Address - We have a PO Box and everything will get to the hosts eventually. The only problem is I don't know what it is Please email lauren at earwolf dot com and she'll send it to you. I'll try and remember to post here sometime soon too. Thanks!

I'm ashamed to say, I don't know. The logo itself and the animation of it for the IFC show was done by Paul Hornschemeier, who is awesome.

Good question! The main goal was to increase our branding on other distribution platforms like iTunes and Stitcher. I thought a little thing that would visually identify Earwolf might help us stand out. I'm not sure that it does, everything is so small. We'll roll with it for now and see if it helps at all. Otherwise maybe we'll try something else. We often times have 20 or 25 percent of the top 25 shows in iTunes and I just wanted to make that more obvious to people browsing.

Yeah, from what I do know about this, it seems curious that something like that would have surpassed the novelty hurdle. But a patent attorney I am not.

I've definitely heard about it. Sadly, I don't really understand it or know whether it will impact us. I certainly hope not. We have more important things to worry about, like creating things.

Soon. We're working on the programming for that, which is why you haven't seen much in the way of promotion. We wanted to make sure it worked and now we'll try and make sure it's worth listening to. I'm open to programming suggestions! Maybe some fans can program their favorite eps?

It won't be part of VPN. I'm not sure if it will be a regular ep or for sale. The hosts decided that and I haven't asked those guys what they are thinking. Sorry!

This is tricky to answer because we don't really know. It will depend. We're trying to figure out how that stuff should work and we just don't have enough info yet to know what makes the most sense. Poor Andy Daly...

Thanks for caring! But you don't have to worry. We have one filed hosted and served from the same place regardless of where it is accessed. Anytime someone hits play or download, anywhere, it shows as a hit on the server against the file. So it's not something to worry about!

The only plans we have are for the 25 year anniversary special. So soon .
