    Hey Never Not Funny fans! We’ve got some awesome news! The first 13 seasons of NNF archives have been added to Howl! So Howl premium members will now have 386 extra episodes available to them to be found in the regular NNF feed in the Earwolf section of Howl. Or here on the website.

     

    These are the regular episodes from the first 13 seasons. These are not “Players Club” bonus specials, but if you are not a players club member you may have never heard them. If you are a Players Club member, nothing for you will change. The Players Club and Howl are still separate entities so there will be no transferring rigamarole or anything like that. We've just got these 500+ hours of archives for the Howl Premium listeners to enjoy!

     

    If you haven’t signed up for Howl yet, you can use code PARDO when you check out on Howl.fm and get your first month’s renewal for FREEEEE.

    Keith Luhrs and Lauren Billings Luhrs are a husband-and-wife science team. But the science doesn’t stay at the lab. Lauren has used that same discipline to become a bestselling romance author, Keith has applied it to his incredible home brewing operation, and they both have applied it to raising their children. In this funny and freewheeling conversation, our host explores whether this same method can make his creative life more disciplined and productive, too!

    I look forward to hearing the late show.

     

    Just so everyone knows, we hit our first technical snag of the whole tour (not bad if I say so myself) but it does mean that show #2 from Portland will be later than usual and for that we are very very sorry.

     

    I will post the forum for the new ep as soon as it's up like always, or check the Howl twitter for updates!

    Can we get this stickied? All of these "hey new to the forums, wut do?" threads are becoming a norm and I for one am not a big fan. yeah. thanks.

     

    I have the power to sticky posts...

     

    What would you guys like? This post stickied? Or should I create a new thread called like, "Welcome to Hollywood Handbook" and you guys can do whatever the heck you want with that?

     

    Let me know. :)

    I'm sure that this has been asked in the past, but as a refresher, will the ads be taken out of shows like Hollywood Handbook? I mean, those babies are premium content in and of themselves!

     

    The plan is for every single show to eventually have 100% ad-free archives. This makes it fair to all the premium subscribers. It might be hard to explain to someone who is completely new to Earwolf and Howl that, "This show is the only one has ads because the fans wanted to keep them"

     

    BUT we do know that the HH fans and Spont fans really really like the ads. So we are looking into a possible way to maybe toggle ad-free off if someone really really wanted to listen to the ad-full version. Maybe there's another solution we haven't thought of yet. We shall see once it's Handbook's turn to go ad free. But your request to keep funny ads has been heard! :)

    VERY IMPORTANT EARWOLF ANNOUNCEMENT

     

    Hello Dear Listeners.

     

    Today we will begin our rollout of Earwolf’s ad-free archives into Howl Premium. This has been in the works since Howl’s launch, but has proven to be much more complex than we initially thought. We feel awful that we have not been able to get these out into the world sooner, and have been working tirelessly to fulfill the promise we made to you. This process is still a work in progress, but we have decided that we will begin rolling out ad-free shows as they are ready to go. So 12 shows will be rolled out this week, but more on that later. To thank you for your patience, all Howl Premium subscribers will receive a one time use coupon in their email for 40% off orders at the Earwolf store.

     

    How will this benefit my favorite Earwolf Hosts?

     

    Please see this post from Scott Aukerman explaining why we made this change and how it is beneficial to your favorite Earwolf hosts.

     

    What happens when a show goes ad-free?

     

    When a show becomes ad-free in Howl for premium members, the archives will eventually be de-published from iTunes and Earwolf.com. Archives in this context are any episode of a show that is older than 6 months. But before a show’s archives are de-published, it will be announced here in advance.

     

    What does this mean for me?

     

    IF YOU ARE A HOWL PREMIUM MEMBER – Once an Earwolf show goes ad-free for Howl premium, episodes that are older than 6 WEEKS will have NO ADS when logged in as premium. The 6 most recent weeks will have ads regardless of your premium status. This is due to our contracts with advertisers. But once an episode is older than 6 WEEKS, it will be ad-free for you in Howl.

     

    IF YOU ARE NOT A HOWL PREMIUM MEMBER – Once an Earwolf show goes ad-free for Howl premium, any episode that is older than 6 MONTHS will no longer be available. Once an episode becomes 6 MONTHS old, it will be removed from iTunes and Earwolf. But the most recent 6 MONTHS worth of episodes will always be available to you, with ads, in the same places they have always been.

     

    Still confused? Here are two handy tables:

    Which shows will be ad-free first?

     

    The following shows are now ad-free for premium users in the mobile apps (not on Howl.FM yet, but will be shortly). But this first batch will not be de-published quite yet. We will let you know when that happens.

    Cracked (as of 7/13)

    The Canon (as of 9/1)

    Nerd Poker (as of 9/1)

     

    As new shows are added, it will be announced here and they will be added to the list.

     

    Why are those shows being launched?

     

    These shows’ archives are more than 95% ad free. Which means our engineering team has stripped the ads for more than 95% of the episodes in the archive. This means a few shows have an episode or two that will still have ads in them. These episodes will be available to non-premium members because they still have ads. We felt this was the least confusing way to go about it. For example, if we went ad-free for a show that’s only 50% stripped, premium users would hear ads half the time and that would be a confusing experience. As new shows cross the 95% ad-free threshold, we will launch them, and announce it here. Every show will be 100% ad-free eventually.

     

    How can I keep track of which shows are launched and which episodes are ad-free?

     

    If you are listening to an episode and find it has ads, before emailing support, you can check this Google Doc to see if it is known whether that ep still has ads. This doc updates daily so you will always know which episodes should be ad free and which will not. This is a work in progress. Please bear with us. We will get to 100% ad free for everything eventually.

     

     

    If you have any questions at all, please ask me here or email support@howl.fm.

     

    Thank you for your patience while we make this transition. I know that it is going to be a big change that will take some getting used to from everyone. We really appreciate your love and support for our great content.
