Adding to what Bruce said, few if any of the shows on Feral Audio run ads, though it's unclear whether this is part of Feral's mission statement or simply a lack of interest on the part of advertisers. (Kumail Nanjiani's X-Files Files is one notable exception.) There's also a longstanding joke/uncomfortable truth among Feral hosts that Dustin is perpetually broke, living in a roach-infested nightmare apartment, and Dan Harmon's patronage often seems to be the only thing keeping Feral afloat.

As part of the 18-34 Straight White Male demographic, I realize that any suggestions I have about drawing female listeners are of questionable value. That notwithstanding, I think some trends can be identified by listening to strong female voices within the comedy and online communities. Women don't want to be condescended to or have their tastes dictated by men. Despite hosting a show that is ostensibly geared toward men, part of Aisha's draw is that she is an outspoken, self-made success and Girl on Guy is 100% her POV. There are millions of women who are tired of being told that they shouldn't be involved in things like stand-up or video games or STEM careers or politics, and hosts like Aisha are both aspirational and inspirational as a result. Women seem to favor shorter content. I don't know a single woman who regularly listens to 90+ minute episodes of WTF or You Made It Weird, but every woman on my Twitter timeline and many of my female friends are obsessed with Serial (each episode under an hour.) The daily Totally Married seems to be far more popular than the weekly Totally Laime historically has been. Given the rise of vlogging and (again, self-made) stars like Alie & Georgia, Hannah Hart, Grace Helbig, Emily Graslie, et al, it appears many women prefer shorter, more frequently updated content. Bust up the boys' club. The male-host-to-female-host ratio at LA Podfest has been terribly skewed since its inception. Podcasters and podcast networks need to take greater steps to make their communities more welcoming to women. Even though Earwolf fans are among the best people online, I frequently have to delete comments about whether female guests are/are not fuckable or which parts of female hosts' anatomy are/are not attractive. Until it's clear that this behavior is unwelcome in the larger community, the resulting alienation will probably make it more difficult to build female listenership.

YOUR NAME IS ZAZZU.

Seconded.

Sean, I'm not sure how I feel about you putting our private phone conversation on the Internet, but I won't bust your chops because you and Hayes had a really heartfelt conversation afterward. And KyoChon was DA BOMB, am I right? Anyhoo, get back to your mother and I on whether you're bringing a +1 to Thanksgiving dinner. We need a final headcount before Adam Sachs and I leave on our turkey hunting trip this weekend. Love you, champ!

Huh? There were times during this episode where Ana could barely get a word in edgewise, to the point where Scott more or less broke character to suggest Gino ease up.

Hey ADULTS, the cool teenage slang for menses is "Shark Week".

There was a problem with the RSS feed earlier and this was probably just a side effect.

The RSS feed for Nerd Poker is currently broken. Our friends at Earwolf will have it fixed soon, but if you need it NOW, you can subscribe directly to the SoundCloud feed at this URL: http://feeds.soundcloud.com/users/soundcloud:users:31656432/sounds.rss

Click the Report button on the post and explain why you want it removed. We'll review your request as soon as we are able.

So, the appropriate reaction is to engage in a grade school tantrum of name-calling and posting threads across multiple forums with the very same spoiler in the title? Grow the fuck up. (Also, enjoy your week vacation.)

Phenomenal episode! Flanagan's been a legendary figure for as long as I've been aware of the LA comedy scene (starting with Tenacious D bootlegs circa 2000) and he totally delivered on his first and only podcast appearance.

On the latest Ronna & Beverly, Cody leaned into the microphone to silently shake his head "no". (I feel like I should start documenting all of his various podcast appearances as material for a Young Adult Fiction series, Ramhand: The Chronicles of Cody.)

This is a breathtaking, June-caliber theory.

You aren't at fault. There's an issue where metadata for the latest episode appears in Earwolf's feed (rss.earwolf.com) but attempting to download the audio file results in a 403 Forbidden error. If you view the CBB feed directly on SoundCloud (feeds.soundcloud.com), however, this episode doesn't even show up. This suggests there's a switch that needs to be flipped on SoundCloud to make private files public, and that switch is sometimes overlooked.

Howard needs to do a "How to Act" for the two eBay bidders who drove up the auction price over three days instead of using a last-second snipe technique.

BITCH U GUESSED IT.

Unlike Earwolf podcasts, where the comedians who impersonate famous people are credited on the episode, the Wolfpop page actually credits Sylvester Stallone. I assumed it would be fake from the outset, but I'm not 100% convinced Stallone won't eventually appear on the show (after the initial series of daily bits runs out.)

I am.

Adam refers to Sam as "Engineer Cody" just before the 5:00 mark of UTU2TM episode "Staind Glass".

Indisputably, June Diane Raphael.

Really missed Olive on this episode.

Hi Andrew, Rest assured, you have done nothing wrong by registering on the Earwolf forums with an available username, and you are therefore under no obligation to appease anyone who voluntarily abandoned the name "Andrew" in order to terrify others with a spooky alternate name. P.S. If you aren't already an avid listener, you should check out The Wolf Den, another fine Earwolf podcast!

Fixed.

I can't even get it up anymore unless I listen to a clip of June berating me to "be a man".
