  1. Yep, exactly this. I was gonna tell y'all this when you first asked why it was up there on Friday, but there was still a chance the clip would be cut so I didn't want to present any false hope. But now that it's official, listen to TAL and then listen to Stain'd Glass again! Perfect combo.

    HOWL - NEW iOS App

    Dear everyone, If you are the type who uses apps to listen to podcasts and likes to take a quick survey we need you to follow this link! http://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/2551141/Podcast-App-Survey Thanks in advance for your time. I love you.

    HOWL - NEW iOS App

    Heynong Man, I gotta be real open and honest with y'all. There is probably never going to be a time where I will be able to tell y'all "On ____ day ___ will happen on Howl!" As we have seen since launch, there are just too many factors and you never know what might fall through at the last minute. So announcements will most likely only ever be made when something is done/ready to go/already in Howl. We always post about new shows on Twitter and our Facebook page when they come out, (which is every Wednesday) I will try to get better at posting on the forums when new stuff happens. For example, as of today, the iOS app has a sorting feature now which is pretty neat. But please let me stress again, if you ever have a specific Howl question and want an answer in say 48 hours or less, please email me at support@howl.fm. I try to remember to check the forums, but since it's not really my job anymore and I have so many other jobs now, I'm not as good at it as I should be. I will try in 2016 to announce anything and everything I have to announce about Howl here on the forums too. Sorry for dropping the ball gang. That email again is support@howl.fm. Use it. Love it.

    Can you Gift a HOWL subscription

    Hey there, Unfortunately the way our backend is currently set up, we can't do gift subscriptions. But we hope to have a way to do this by next year. For now, I've been telling people you could create an email address that is just for Howl, sign up and go through checkout, get the payments all set up. And then you can share the login information with the gift recipient. Kinda clunky I know, but it might work better than nothing? It makes me sooo happy to hear that people want to share Howl with others, and I hope we have a simpler way to do that for you in the coming months.
  5. Just the first one is in the HDTGM feed because Paul wanted to make sure everyone got a taste, but it has it's own feed and will be there each week!

    Has WIP been B.A. Baracused?

    Jeez, no need to be so testy... Marissa is very busy with her Senior year so she and Lis don't have time to record regularly at the moment. But WIU is not cancelled and will be back with new eps soon.

    QUESTIONS FOR SCOTT RE: HOWL

    Hey Fister Roboto, That problem will be fixed when the update goes into Google Play either today or tomorrow
  14. Hello People of Earth! And Welcome to FOR YOUR INCONSIDERATION! Our BRAND NEW HDTGM voting/recommendation site is FINALLY HERE! Many many thanks to HDTGM fan Shariq Torres for building the site for us, and Gabe at Earwolf for making it beautiful and awesome. Also, lots of thanks to all the other fans who reached out and offered to help. I am often overwhelmed by how much love and dedication Earwolf fans have. You guys are the best. This is for you. So, what's this thing about? Let me tell you... VOTE ON THE NEXT PICK - On the right side of the home page you can see our lovely poll. This first poll was compiled of 10 of the most popular suggestions from the forums for you to vote on. We will be rotating out the choices so everything gets a chance to fight for a spot on the show. Occasionally the polls will be THEMED! So make sure to check back in after each new episode! WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SEE? - Recommend a film by typing it in the search bar, and clicking "recommend" in the bottom corner. The search uses Rotten Tomatoes to make sure that only real movies can be accepted. If you make a suggestion that has already been made, you will be redirected to the existing recommendation. Should have looked for it first ya dum dum. TAGGING SYSTEM - Once you've made your recommendation, choose a few tags from the drop down menu to help us categorize your pick. We will be adding new tags all the time, so if you see a film that now needs a tag, please add it! If you're not sure what a tag means, select it and the description will appear underneath the menu. You have to click "add" to finalize the tag to the recommendation. You can also browse tags in the "Recommendations" page, and we will be using them for the themed polls I mentioned! ON A SCALE OF TRASH TO GARBAGE - Rate recommendations from 1 to 5 trashcans to see how the HDTGM fan score compares to the RT critics and audience scores. TELL US ABOUT YOUR PICK - The Bad Movie Recommendation Forum isn't going anywhere. All recommendations will link back to their forum topic. So, if you make a recommendation that you are SURE doesn't have a forum topic, please create one so we can link it back! Talk about your recommendation and tell everyone why you think it's a great choice for HDTGM! I LITERALLY NEED TO WATCH THIS NOW - Click the Amazon link on the recommendation to buy the film and help out Earwolf! SIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTER AND GET SURPRISES IN YOUR INBOX - And today May 6, FIVE people who sign up will receive a FREE TSHIRT! WOOOO! Sign up! Get in that drawing y'all! Please don't hesitate to send me any questions you have, I will post answers to FAQ here in this forum. So, keep those recommendations coming, and tune in for more great episodes of HOW DID THIS GET MADE?! We'll see you at FYI.EARWOLF.COM

    HOWL - NEW iOS App

    Hey thisdudesweird, thanks for the feedback. Everything you mentioned is already in the works. Except the bluetooth thing which I haven't heard yet and I'll report it right now. And what you said here... is the best part of the Android app. Once we get these fixes done we can push them out right away so you won't have to wait as long as us Apple people who need the updates approved (it takes forevverrrrr) I understand the app isn't perfect at the moment, but we wanted you guys to be able to get in on it now and we can fix steadily as we go instead of you waiting another 6 months. Thanks for your patience and I hope you are enjoying lots of good Howl content

    QUESTIONS FOR SCOTT RE: HOWL

    Hey y'all. I'm going to try to explain this archive thing as best as I can... As is stated on Howl.fm multiple times, premium users get access to the remastered, ad-free archives. So, what counts as an archive? Any episode of a Wolfpop or Earwolf show that is older than 6 months old. Therefore any episode from about March(ish) this year until now will still be free for everyone, premium or not, and available on iTunes, Earwolf.com, wherever else you have always listened to it. These episodes WILL have ads, like they always have, because they are free to everyone. Once an episode "ages out" and becomes 6 months old, it will have it's ads stripped and will then only be available to Howl premium users and will not be on itunes, earwolf.com, etc. Just available on the Howl app or Howl.fm Why aren't the archives behind the paywall already/ Why am I still hearing ads on old episodes? To be fair to our Android user friends. When their app is ready in a few weeks all of this archive business will go into effect. If you have any more questions you guys can always email me at support@howl.fm

    Hey Jotchua, I only know for sure that there is one more episode of Hardcore Game of Thrones, but I have no idea if it will continue after that. A forum for Howl is in the works yes, but for now feel free to start threads about Howl shows here. (I'd suggest in General Podcasting maybe?)
  22. Shannon

    HOWL Premium, HOWL Originals, HOWL.FM

    New episodes will never be ad-free, only the old ones. Episodes that are 6 months old or newer are free for everyone, Howl premium membership or not, and will not be behind the paywall so their ads must remain.
  23. Shannon

    HOWL Premium, HOWL Originals, HOWL.FM

    This was explained in the 'Questions for Scott' mega thread, but basically Adam (our CEO) decided it was only fair to leave the archives alone until the Android app is ready in a few weeks.
