that's interesting - i've never heard that before. what's it mean?

I sort of have, but i will point to WTF - taking early shows down had no effect on growing the show, and you could make a case that it helped to grow it.

I think maybe we're getting into the idea that artists (and all jobs) should be subsidized by the government, and everything should be free and distributed equally... which is not a problem is you believe it! But words like wrong and fair are a little weird to me when you're talking about capitalism and artists who want to make a living. BUT maybe you mean like you feel like it's a betrayal of trust between an artist and consumer? I think people can feel that way... I understand... one way of looking at it is "You gave me a free sandwich every day for six years, now you're only giving me half a free sandwich? Fuck you!" But if you're a parent, feeding your child, they deserve to eat as much as they need to become big boys! So it's a complicated issue, but one that I am interested in hearing your point of view on.

hiiiiiiii

It sounds like you're just saying, in your opinion, it's a bad business decision - not that it's wrong? That's kind of the pessimistic view of things. But I understand you are upset!

I would like that - you should write to them and let them know you would!

i think i talked about it in my first post!

I think, like, every week a new ep will be taken down? That's just a guess.

I respectfully disagree!

Like, morally wrong?

I've talked about a rotating group of eps remaining free -especially if a sequel to something is released. We may try something like that!

That's a cool idea

I think they're all in there... but I know they're sort of cleaning up some of the issues with eps being mislabeled or missing.

This is very unscientific, but i've found in the years we've been doing this, the android app is always the hardest thing to figure out. I have no info about HOWL's challenges in this area, but that's something I've noticed. No idea why.

That's a cool idea

Soon, from what I'm told. They don't want to give an exact date, so if a delay happens, no one will be upset. But sooner than you think, probably.

The new ownership has nothing to do with approval of any content... we do what we want, 100 percent.

I think to clarify what i was saying about UTU2TM - it comes out so infrequently, if we took down the archives after six months, there would only be like two episodes available. So it would be harder to get people into it. The other shows come out once or twice a week.

I'm not exactly sure of the process, but I would love that. Hopefully someone here will direct you?

We are supposedly doing Mike Detective Season two for Howl, whenever we get the time.

Each platform will have great new stuff coming!

God I hope so

Since Matt is very involved in HOWL, I would imagine he must be considering it. Not sure about the other question - but Shannon would know more! That is all I can answer right now - I'll try to check in throughout the day.

This is an interesting question - I was thinking about this. It could be cool to save them in some situations, and put them up as bonus content? Even though I try to make my ads kind of funny, I think the goal is to give people an ad-free experience.

Oh, so you can download them before you get onto a subway or something, where you don't get a signal? That would be cool. Sorry-- I'm a little confused about the details of how something is downloaded, etc. Again, I'm more of a "broad strokes" guy.
