First of all I would like to say I love the podcast, Cyber Thug Radio was my favorite podcast for two short weeks. After hearing a post about how things went down (Jeff requiring they sign a contract etc.) I was soured to Earwolf and really stuck to Comedy Deathray Radio until the Earwolf Challenge, now I enjoy a couple of the Earwolf shows and have in general come around to it as a network. This new Cyber Thug Radio got me excited at first, but thinking about it I become less and less exciting. It is a bad price, especially for me who still has the original episodes on my computer, 8 dollars for one hour seems gouging when a Pardcastathon is 15. The thing is as I heard the promo (which I feel might alienate people who did not originally hear the show, but whatever) I considered donating to Earwolf, then when the money came up I was alienated, I have a hard time donating to businesses that open doors for TV shows when kids in Africa are starving. One of the only successful podcast networks moneywise, the Maxfun Network, which I am a donor of has a better model. It is more of a community then a business, they only bother you once a year and they do their advertising in a fun way. After that long rant their is a chance I will still buy the podcast, because I love Cyberthug, but I would like if these questions could be answered before I do.
A. How much of the money goes to Miles and Jerry?
B. If this is successful will this lead to more overpriced paid podcasts, free podcasts or is this a one time thing?
C. Does this podcast have advertising on it?
If these questions are answered no matter what the answer is I will probably buy it, I love Cyberthug. In Conclusion, as this promo ran on Comedy Bang Bang I thought "Wow, that's awesome, I think after I listen to this I am going to donate 10 dollars or something to Earwolf for working to bring that back". Now I have qualms about spending 8.
