I think this was ultimately the best outcome possible. Totally Laime is clearly a great fit for Earwolf, as well as being a great show. That said, I was relieved when Matt voted for LDDC - I found them to be the funnier show, and I was glad to hear him agree. In the long term, I hope that LDDC can use this increased awareness and their new influential friends to continue to grow. I've been catching up on old episodes, and they've clearly got a great community of comics in Melbourne to work with. I could see them, in a year or two, expanding into their own little Aussie network and bringing on other shows under a Dum Dum brand. And then, Murdoch-style, spreading to podcasting markets around Australia, before moving to the UK and onto America, where, as an evil international conglomerate, they will build a massively popular comedy network that mercilessly attacks Earwolf at every turn before taking over The Onion and ultimately swaying a presidential election. . Ahem. Anyways, I loved the Challenge, and I eagerly await Season 2. I was particularly intrigued by Matt's off-hand reference to an episode he recorded that we'll never hear - a lost episode? That I'd pay $2 for.
