We have very haphazardly had a few not very good cameras running in the studio, but unfortunately all the time and not always with the best angles (and horrible lighting). I can't see us ever doing anything with that footage, we've had it looked at before by a video guy and the prognosis was not good. We might start doing some video podcasts soon though, as part of a separate thing, we're trying to work out the details now.

Seth didn't mention CBB. I think the Womptacular was a one-time thing. No plans for new Analyze Phish eps. How is that for 3 shitty answers?

Yeah, I think we'll take NP any way we can get it. And the artwork is something we've discussed and we might do something there. Great idea!

Yes! It's going to come out monthly. As soon as this Thursday, not sure exactly when yet. Do you like it?

Wow, okay. Well, I know this will sound "corporate" like, but I don't think anything. People tell their friends. They comment on the formus, Facebook, Twitter. Tumblr. They respond well to our sponsors. They donate. They use the Amazon affiliate links. They buy merch and our live shows for sale. I don't really have anything else to ask for. I guess you could get greedy and ask for a bit more of all that stuff, but if you have to ask, it's not going to happen anyway. So I think you guys are doing just great as it is and I'm very thankful and grateful for all the support we do get. Especially from you, sir!

The Apple Sisters let us know that they were going to stop doing the podcast and focus on other types of projects.

I forgot to mention MD since I answer that question the most, sorry about that. You are correct, there was some work done on season two a long time ago with Scott and Neil, but I'm not sure they were happy with it or not. Bottom line, they want to do it but just don't have the time. So nothing planned in the near future, but I wouldn't say never. But I'm not counting on it.

Yes, is sad indeed. There are no planned "series" as of now. There are a few things in the very early stages of discussion but may not happen. Nerd Poker's longevity depends on the players availability, we'd love for it to be weekly forever. And they want that too; it's just about scheduling. There are a few other shows that are on sort of trial periods to see how they do, but I can't really speak to that now because we still have to figure that out with the artists. It's hard to say. I have no idea what the story is with CBB TV, I'm a producer in name only due to my involvement with the podcast!

Former engineer Joe. He was the engineer in July and August of 2010. I still talk to him and he is doing well as a musician!

Thanks for listening Dan. I never say never, but it's going to be hard to do something like that in the near future. Sorry.

Crappy answers - No word and I have no idea! Sorry Dan. Maybe Earwolf will be in a position to take some of the load off of them (although they do great by themselves) by then.

Thanks guys. This thread inspired me to create a new Q&A thread, head over there if you have any other general questions. Thanks! http://forum.earwolf.com/topic/9485-jeff-qa/page__pid__44887#entry44887

Unfortunately the combination of no one to produce it (that was a TON of work for Frank and Peter, work they didn't get paid for) and the fact that almost no one listened to it, means it's unlikely there will be another season of The Earwolf Challenge.

Seth and I emailed a few weeks ago. Sadly, it's officially retired. RIP.

Thanks for the question Justin. Yes, Earwolf is profitable. We've been fortunate enough to be profitable for a long time. There is a big caveat, though, which is that we spend most of what we make (not all!). Profit sharing with the artists, studio, staff, more staff, equipment, website, hosting, legal fees, etc. And we've been investing in new initiatives. We have had a lot of money (for us) come in during 2012, but we keep very little. That's okay, it's by design. Most of our shows lose us money, but it's important to us to keep putting out great stuff and giving it time to breathe and grow. You'll be seeing a few shows go away in the new year, but none based on financial reasons. We've never made a content decision based on money, which is the reason we are self-funded. We don't want anyone telling us to worry about the bottom line, especially on a show by show basis. Sometimes the show hosts have a hard time keeping up with the workload, which is very understandable - it's a ton of work for not much (if any) money. But I'm very proud that we've never cancelled a show because of the cost.

Wow, thanks Dan!!!!

To be honest, I'm not sure if that's true. It's a good question. My understanding was that it would count. What we do and ask others to do it just bookmark the affiliate link (because even I forget to click from our website sometimes) and then use that bookmark whenever you shop on Amazon. Once that happens, we get a steady stream of 5% from whatever you shop. Sorry I couldn't give a better answer and thanks for caring enough to support us!

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?

I mean, come on guys. This is serious. These are forums, not an outlet funny silly jokes. I'm disappointed in you guys.

There is a new file up without the bleeps. What happened was that we had a company interested in sponsoring the ep but they were concerned about vulgarity. So in my initial pass, I put in bleeps in my editing notes. But as it went along (and as the night got later and later), it was just too much so I stopped and put a note in for the engineer that said - disregard the bleeps. And then told the sponsor it wouldn't work. He didn't see that note in the email. So they went in. When I heard the file this morning that they were still in and asked him to fix. He sent out the new file earlier and it was swapped out. So if you delete and re-download, you'll hear the uncensored version.

Thanks so much for all the kind words and your continued support, it warms my heart!

I love everything about this.

Thanks for the kind words and advice. I'm going to talk to Darlene about this right now.

We have a few banked and will record a few more. It's undecided as to whether is will be a "mini-series" or a regular podcast. Scheduling has been a bitch. I mean the worst we've ever seen. Let's all keep our fingers crossed that the outpouring of support will encourage a regular schedule. Take to the forums, Facebook, Tumblr and Twitter and let the gang know you demand more!

Handywork of Aaron Nestor, he's the BEST! We usually wait on Tshirts until we find an audience, but if enough people as for it, maybe we can make an exception! There might be room in my garage...but just barely. There are about 4,000 shirts in there already.
