  1. STITCHER PREMIUM

     

    Theatrical director Don DiMello is trying his hand at political podcasting with a show devoted exclusively to “the pee tape”. Don’s pal and keeper of The Rockette farm, Falcon, is back once again to teach everyone about the dark web. Plus, theatre critic Mal Bachman is back, of course! Then, Bob Fredericks, property owner and expert of “surveillance” joins to teach the gang about how to hide cameras and how to make perfectly edited blackmail. Finally, Irina Gotsikova explains the business and art of a custom pee tape. Everyone on this podcast pilot is a terrible person and they should all feel terrible. Special guests: Jason Mantzoukas, Eddie Pepitone, and Mary Birdsong


  2. Hey CBB forums! We're super excited to celebrate Comedy Bang Bang's 500th episode, and we're looking to spread some CBB love. Here's how you can help, and maybe win a CBB500 shirt:

     

    - Comment in this thread with what the past 500 episodes of Comedy Bang Bang have meant to you. Sincerity and jokes both appreciated

     

    - THEN enter your forum username and an email address where we can reach you here: https://goo.gl/forms/FZKTuuAWCn1Cco482

     

     

    Winners of a CBB500 shirt will be chosen at random. The sweepstakes will close at 11:59 PM PST (and there will be no warning!).

     

     

     

     

    Thanks for enjoying 500 Comedy Bang Bang eps with us! Here's to 500 more! :D

  3. (POSTED ON BEHALF OF ERIK DIEHN)

     

    Hello Earwolf fans!

     

    A little over a year ago, we acquired Stitcher, one of the longest-running and most popular podcast listening apps. Doing so not only added a bunch of talented software developers to our team, but also gave us a time-tested, solid and reliable platform (on both iOS and Android) for delivering podcasts to people.

     

    In December, we started making the original content we produced for Howl available as a new offering within Stitcher called Stitcher Premium. This was the first step in a plan to gradually merge all of the incredible work we’d done making great, original, ad-free audio content for Howl with the stability and reach of the Stitcher platform.

     

    Today, we’re taking another step. We’re officially launching Stitcher Premium, the next evolution in our subscription audio service.

     

    Just like Howl before it, Stitcher Premium will provide access to ad-free versions of Earwolf and “WTF with Marc Maron” archives, hundreds of comedy albums, and many hours of original content from the extended family of Earwolf creators -- "The Mysterious Secrets of Uncle Bertie's Botanarium," "Questions for Lennon," "Big Grande's The Teacher's Lounge," "The Complete Woman," and "The Layman with Jon Gabrus,” to name a few.

     

    Unlike Howl, Stitcher already provides free access to tens of thousands of podcasts, which means you no longer have to use separate apps for your premium and ad-supported shows. Want to follow up hard-core politics shows from Crooked Media and NPR with much-needed relief from a CBB bonus ep? Need to flip back and forth between “Hardcore History” and “Hardcore Game of Thrones?” Stitcher has you covered.

     

    If you're already a Howl subscriber, you’ll soon be able to switch to Stitcher Premium. Over the next few weeks, we’ll roll out a tool that lets you transfer all of your Howl account information (favorites, playlists, listening history) to Stitcher. You’ll see alerts in the Howl app guiding you through this process. If you don’t see them yet, don’t worry; we’re rolling out gradually, and you will see them soon. You can find all the details about transferring your account to Stitcher at http://www.stitcherpremium.com/migrate.

     

    If you prefer Howl (hey, we love that logo, too!), you can keep using it. We’ll continue to publish premium content into the Howl apps and website for subscribers who wish to continue using them. All of the same premium content will be available on both platforms.

     

    Thanks to all of you for being an Earwolf fan, and a special thanks to those who've already tried Howl and Stitcher Premium. Even though the name is changing, we’ll produce much more of the content you told us you love. On the way soon we have a new “Hollywood Handbook” spin-off, more "Comedy Bang! Bang!" character playlists, and some truly exciting surprises. And we’ll keep growing the family of talent, producers and publishers who work with Stitcher Premium, helping provide direct support for their efforts that reduces their reliance on advertising alone.

     

    If you're a Howl subscriber already, we hope you'll make the jump to Stitcher Premium. If you've tried Howl in the past but are not currently a subscriber, we hope you'll give Stitcher Premium a whirl. And if you’ve never tried Howl at all, now is a great time to give all these great exclusive shows a listen. Sign up for a trial now and test out the new Stitcher Premium experience at Stitcher.com/Premium. For $5 off on me, use promo code ERIK at checkout.

     

    If you have any questions about this process, or need help with transferring your account to Stitcher Premium, please drop us a line at support@stitcher.com.

     

    Thanks again,

     

    Erik Diehn

    CEO, Midroll / Stitcher / Earwolf


  4. Would it be a terrible idea to make general discussion threads for podcasts in their forums? I've had questions about an Earwolf podcast before or wanted to talk about something from an Earwolf podcast (mostly cbb) but I can't really find anywhere to discuss them. I mean, there's reddit, but it's reddit. And something awful, but you gotta pay and it's not a whole lot better than reddit.

     

    I suppose I could just post one myself and see if anyone posts, but I thought I'd see if there was any interest at all first.

     

     

    Like, do you mean to talk about non-Earwolf podcasts, or just the general podcast itself like CBB? Either is fine! Just put any non-Earwolf discussion in the general podcasting section, and any show discussions in their proper section!


  5. If you follow that link Cool and Indie, you will find that it is not actually the episode.

     

    BUT there is good news. Green Lantern AND The Smurfs are both on Howl and Stitcher Premium!

     

    Episodes 14 and 16 respectively. Enjoy.

  6. Re: HDTGM & Hollywood Handbook -- Different shows have different forum cultures. We really do want to let y'all do your thing, the on-topic thing is a pretty standard internet forum rule and it's mostly a gentle suggestion. Just make sure y'all aren't breaking all the other rules and I think we will be alright :)

  11. Rules for The Earwolf Forums

     

    Welcome to the Earwolf forums!

     

    There are lots of places you can talk about our shows online, the special thing about our own forums is that our hosts sometimes join in the conversations too. Please bear that in mind when you post, don’t post anything you wouldn’t say to their faces.

     

    If you have concerns about the content of any of our shows, you can mail our Exec Producer directly at colin@earwolf.com.

     

    If you see a post breaking any of the rules below, please click the “report” button at the bottom of the post and a moderator will review it. Replying to offensive posts only amplifies them.

     

    - Absolutely no attacking or name calling other posters. If you disagree with someone, please try to do it respectfully.

     

    - Absolutely no attacking or name calling of guests. We are very grateful to all the guests who join us on our shows. If you don’t have anything nice to say, say it somewhere else.

     

    - No objectifying or otherwise sexual comments towards any guests or other posters. Don’t be gross.

     

    - Do not create multiple accounts. Do not create accounts to impersonate hosts or other posters. If you are having trouble with your login please contact Shannon to fix.

     

    - No piling on. Seriously, there is no reason for 10 people to get into a 6 page fight over one person’s comment. Report it if the post is breaking rules, and if not, let it go.

     

    - Don’t quote offensive comments. Just report them. If you quote a post that will be deleted, your post gets deleted too. Please just report for mods to handle.

     

    - Please keep things on topic. If you have other random conversations you want to have, start a PM with another user or create a thread in the Off-topic forum.

     

    Examples:

     

    OKAY - “Meh, this ep wasn’t my favorite. That first segment was awkward.”

     

    NOT OKAY - “Ugh, the guest is so unfunny and I hate them. I hope they are never on another podcast again so I don’t have to hear their horrible annoying voice”

     

    Failure to follow any of these rules may result in warnings, temporary loss of posting privileges or banning. These consequences will be up to the discretion of the moderators.

     

    Thanks for helping us keep this a fun place to hang out! Happy posting!

  12. Hello Everyone!

     

    We are working on a super duper top secret project and we wanted to ask the fans for help!

     

    So can you please tell us what some of your favorite lines, catchphrases, jokes, etc. are from Earwolf? As many shows as you can! As far back into Earwolf history as you can! We want to get a really good range of funny goodness going here. No need to find the episode or timestamp or anything complicated, just the text is all we need for now.

     

    Thanks in advance for your help and happy listening!
