    I desperately need help figuring out what episode this is. Gino is on the episode and it tells a story about taking percoccets or xanax and drinking mikes hard lemonade and almost drowning at the beach and Scott cracks up and says "thats a good story". i've been laughing about it to my self for the past few days and it's driving me nuts. Anyone remember the episode #?

    I believe it was #321 Big Fat Voice.

    There are several parts of the Earwolf forums and website that are broken and have been that way for a while.

    I know there's a Earwolf.com makeover in the pipeline, but don't know when it will arrive or whether it will affect the forums.

     

    I'm not sure what would cause userpics to randomly disappear. There's no expiration date for userpics in the forum settings, but I don't have access to the server infrastructure so I can't troubleshoot further.

     

    The screenshot jarrycanada posted earlier is what happens when your computer doesn't know how to render special Unicode characters like the ones Maximiliano has in his username. My old Windows XP computer does the same thing.

     

    I'm fairly sure that officially Earwolf cares way more about Howl and Facebook than this site, which exists mostly out of the goodwill of interns and a dedicated Dan Engler.

    Shannon spends plenty of time here as well, but she has a lot of other responsibilities, including customer service and minding other social media platforms and writing the Earwolf newsletter and washing the dishes people leave sitting around the office. She also keeps me from banning everyone in a fit of pique. Without her, we would be lost.

     

    Something that has annoyed me since Howl rolled out is the broken download links on the main page for every single podcast here. I understand it's a SoundCloud issue, but I don't use iTunes or Howl and used to just download everything from here.

    In the Soundcloud player embedded on individual episode pages, there's a down arrow button (next to the Share button) that you can click to download the file directly.

    I don't think modern audience are too receptive to ancient mythology. It's too wild, illogical, amoral, distant and metaphorical.

    Now I'm curious what you'd think of

    . It's based (loosely) on a series of French graphic novels, and feels like The Fifth Element if it were directed by Terry Gilliam instead of Luc Besson and its recognizable actors were replaced with CGI Egyptian gods. It's so goddamned French that I remember watching it with subtitles, but apparently it was an English language film and there were no subtitles.

    Can we talk about how hot Elodie Yung (the original Elektra 2: Elektra Boogaloo) is?
    I didn't watch GoE but I will gladly talk about the beauty of Elodie for daaays

    No one cares how your dick feels about an actress's physical appearance.

    I…I don't know how to handle this situation…

    Kidding.

    Mostly.

    I really want to join the facebook group and am hitting a wall. Anybody have the full name of the group? Anytime I search "bitch sesh by alene too: a real podcast breakdown" I get three meetup groups popping up. HELP!

    The direct link to the group is (allegedly) https://www.facebook...743701469211638.

     

    It looks like it worked as recently as August 10, but when I access it today, I get a "Content not available" error. I'm not sure whether that means the group has been shut down or made invisible to non-members OR my Facebook account is acting weird.

     

    If that link doesn't work for you, I'd suggest asking Casey on Twitter.

    On a side note: anyone know a place online that makes great custom t shirts.

    A few years ago, I did a survey of the big name custom shirt makers and I decided to go with Spreadshirt. They have different printing techniques depending on the design you're using (photographic vs. vector images) and a ton of products/fabrics/colors. You may need to tweak vector images to meet all of their criteria—e.g. minimum line thickness, separation between shapes, maximum of 3 colors—but the end result is super sharp and durable. I haven't tried their digital print (photographic) process because all of my design work is in Adobe Illustrator.

    And despite what was clearly an exhausting production schedule at times, Scott delivered a new podcast—sometimes two—every week since the TV show began. I'd say he deserves a long relaxing vacation, but I get the feeling he'll be doing a lot of writing and/or Executive Producing for places like Seeso.

     

    It's sobering how tremendous responsibility takes a toll on a person.
