    Hey Pete, I don't know if the entire catalog will ever be downloadable to a pc (although it is right now) down the road. We’re still thinking through the ramifications of keeping the downloaded content secure. We’re discussing it though.

    This really disappoints me and it kind of signals to me a fundamental misunderstanding of how people consume podcasts. I am 100% on board with an Earwolf subscription service. But the way that this has been handled is just... a bummer all around.

    I think people are confused about whether or not the eps older than 6 months will be gone for free forever. Qualifying them as going ad free on howl makes it seem like the versions with ads may still be available.

     

    Soon, all of the episodes older than 6 months will have their ads removed, and be available only through a Howl premium subscription.

    Thanks for the reply. I don't quite understand the logic behind this decision, but I've been an Earwolf fan for years, and will continue to be. I just ask that y'all please wait a couple of days before removing the eps for us completionists and obsessives to download.

    Come on, I think his criticism seemed even handed. He respectfully explained why he didn't really enjoy the show, but gave credit to PFT and Scott for trying.

     

    I don't think he was rude in any way, unlike several posters on last week's Solo Bolo episode.

    I just thought it was weird he's a fan of the show and doesn't like Werner Herzog and Ice T, I wasn't trying to be a dick. Criticism makes life interesting!

    This was my second live taping of CBB and it wasn't as enjoyable as last year's tour with The Birthday Boys and PFT bringing out Cake Boss. I felt terrible for PFT and Scott who must have been left in the lurch at the last minute scrambling how to make a show out of just the two of them for a packed Skirball theater.

     

    Unfortunately, they brought out Ice-T* and Werner Herzog to fill the time which are two of PFT's lesser characters as opposed to Gary Marshall, Cake Boss, and Lord Andrew Lloyd Weber. Still, I sympathize that PFT had just done Weber and Marshall recently.

     

     

    How can you call yourself a fan?! I would have killed to see this.

    Thanks for writing this, Jeff. Its always interesting to gain more insight on the business side of podasting. You really care about your listeners and employees and it shows.

     

    As for the ads, I don't really get offended that easily so I don't much care. As you said it is completely up to the podcaster, so if the podcaster decides to endorse a somewhat shady product it is on them. This particular case just seems to be poor communication more than anything. I heard the snus ad over on Doug Loves Movies and I just found it tonally strange to the point it was hilarious.

    "Well, I’m just going to make eight of them, for sure. We’re just doing eight. Yeah, it’s a mini-series. So, eight of my characters are getting their own podcast. I don’t know the next step. Whether each one of those characters will get a second episode, whether there’s other characters that will get pilots, or whether one of these will take off and have more episodes, or nothing. Anything can happen."
