  1. Potential Guests - An advertising sales planner/media buyer from an ad agency, senior management at Funny or Die or an account executive from the company, a producer in television (think Curtis Gwinn) to debate goods vs. bad of podcasts, someone from Apple (itunes), an agent from CAA, WME etc. (either digital or comedy), Nikki Finke so Scott can yell TOLDJA! in her face.


  2. Wow, one my favorite Wolf Dens so far. Baratunde sounds incredibly intelligent. This theme of being yourself ultimately transcends to all facets of life. Good stuff.

    Jeff, I think I have your tag line for your EarWolf CEO personalized tee-shirt. β€œEarwolf is in the business of producing content…and trying not to go broke in doing it.”


  3. Ben, your new book is insanely funny. Like Kulap, I finished it in two days. I would honestly recommend that everyone BUY it. In addition, I will be using all your 'free ideas' from the book and moving to LA to begin my screenplay. I can sleep on your couch, right?

    Awesome show guys. Kulap, I am personally requesting more chart exclusives. You need to 'Marc Maron' this info out of your guests.


  4. According to Oxford English Dictionary, nerd is "1. a foolish or contemptible person who lacks social skills or is boringly studious. 2. a single-minded expert in a particular technical field."

    In my opinion, referring to oneself as a comedy nerd is not particularly endearing. I think the comedy community could be a bit more imaginative in that respect. I would like to call for a re-branding/re categorization of the comedy base that veers away from this negative connotation of nerd.

    Aside from my rant, I am glad your back Jeff. Awesome episode as usual.


  5. Don't get discourage. You are putting out an exceptional product. I am glad you went above and beyond to release this week's Wolf Den. This show ranks in my top three out of all the current podcasts available. I am wondering why you have not decided to partner with advertisers. It would be a no-brainer for FX to put in a quick ad before or during a show that features Nick Kroll or that tiny talent agent from Shutterbug Inc. Maron appears to have seamlessly integrated it into his show.

    I personally believe that subscription/donation based model is not long term or sustainable. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Good luck and keep your head up!


  6. Another great one. I was quite impressed with all of the guest's public speaking chops. Very articulate.

    I am interested in this discussion of podcasts vs. TV/Film. One of the guests mentioned that people will soon be going home to listen to podcasts instead of watching TV/Film. I'm my opinion, I do not foresee this as taking place on a large scale. The visual appeal of TV/Film will always trump that of audio, especially with the emergence of new technologies. The podcast market will continue to grow at an accelerated rate, but as I've mentioned before, I believe there will need to be some type of video integration in order for podcast networks/websites like these to become truly mainstream.

    Also, Jeff, talk to Pfizer about Bob Ducca. I see some real branding opportunities there.


  7. I enjoyed the segment regarding the preparation process. How about making a monthly web episode that goes behind the scenes
    of the various Earwolf shows, highlighting the dynamic and relationships between the hosts and guests? It would be cool to see
    the general tomfoolery (punch me for saying that word) that inevitably goes on.

    Also, checking analytics is more addicting than Gushers Fruit Snacks.
