Said it a couple other places, but if Paul is reading this as well -- I moderate the Earwolf subreddit, and we would love to have Paul on for an AMA. Let me know either on Twitter or by messaging me here, but we can get him started whenever he's ready (although we have a couple more lined up, not sure how soon he wants to do it, but regardless we can figure it out)

Hey Paul! Listened to today's minisode and heard you say you'd like to do a reddit ama. I moderate the Earwolf subreddit, and would love to have you do an AMA on there! You can either tweet me @Leprechaun_Leon or message me on here for more details, but we can absolutely do one on there. Contact me if you're interested Paul! We'd love to have you on there!

Honestly these changes don't affect me in a negative way at all, I'm more than happy to throw 5 simple dollars at a company that's given me thousands of hours of entertainment. But I do hope they consider having a premium RSS feed, with like a password or something. (I don't know exactly how the tech side of it works) But something that way I can pay for the content -- and still listen using my favorite podcast app. I don't mean this in an offensive way to HOWL or Earwolf -- I again like the idea of getting more content, but I like having all my podcasts in one nice organized area.

Okay, I can respect that decision I suppose. Definitely please work on pumping out an android app as soon as possible then. My next question -- I moderate the Earwolf subreddit, and we're constantly having people ask what are the recommended episodes for getting into shows -- the most popular suggestion is to go through the backlog and find a guest that interests you and listen to their episode. In fact a couple years ago when I first started listening that's how I got into podcasts -- I specifically remember going into Comedy Bang Bang and downloading episodes with Bob Odenkirk and John Hamm (two guests that haven't been on in over 6 months) So I guess in short my point is, in my opinion howl doesn't make it easier for new listeners, but harder. I suppose a workaround is to take advantage of the free trial and listen to some archived episodes. So will the free trial remain a thing in the future?

Hi Scott, first off I'm actually excited for the direction Earwolf and the podcast medium is taking in producing mini series and podcasts and such. I'm a VERY big consumer of podcasts, and have listened to the backlogs of....several. So I have no issue with wanting to take this approach with howl and will sign up immediately. However I do have one very important question -- which is that I like to listen to Earwolf podcasts, and non-earwolf podcasts. I enjoy all of this being on one app (for example the app I use is pocketcasts) So in short, if I pay for Howl premium will I still be able to use pocketcasts for the backlog of earwolf shows or would I have to use the howl app?

Hey cool, Hayes and Sean mentioned us fuckin' jokers over at reddit. This was such a great episode, congrats to you lucky people who got to meet with the coolest cats in Hollywood

I asked Scott Aukerman this the other day on his reddit AMA, but I was redirected to bring it up directly with Earwolf. Short story is basically when I listen to podcasts, and when I want to discuss podcasts I usually am on my smartphone, and the earwolf forums here are great on a desktop environment, but it could certainly have better mobile support -- or even better an earwolf forums app. Curious if anyone working at earwolf is currently working on this or if it's been discussed? I'd love to get more active on here but the site isn't very mobile friendly.

That's good at least. Follow up question -- Is the Howl app going to be an android app at some point then?

Hey Sean, one of my favorite things ever done on the podcast was the trilogy of the Cards against humanity ads. here's a video I made awhile back, I think this would be perfect on a best of episode.

I always listen, I'm just usually on reddit and not on the forums. Figured I'd finally get on here with you fine folks

Listened to both Hayes and Seans episodes yesterday. Great episodes. I'll be checking out more from them as they release it.

I really appreciate Hayes and Sean making this so user friendly to the listeners of Comedy Bang Bang. Hopefully we'll get 67 listeners by next week so that the pro version goes to someone new. Fantastic episode, definitely better then CBB's best ofs

I just hope Dradel got away from Chansen. What an amazing Christmas Present From Hayes and Sean.

They actually did mention that.

Slight corrections and admissions - Did anyone else think the scene with 'the cool kids' passing notes in class was crazy?Willey being the middle man for the notes being passed and being TERRIFIED? I mean he was scared as if he was passing drugs to the other kids. That was insane

I listened to the backlog of CBB and the first episode I listened to the day of release was Episode 274. The first episode I listened to left off on a cliffhanger, and part 2 was even more amazing. I love the Andy Daly / Mantzoukas episodes. This was amazing.

So I'm sure now that we've learned all things U2 that is humanly possible, Scott and Scott are going to be diving deeper into U Talkin' U2 To Me? We'll probably get some more stained glass, hopefully we'll get some more Bon Jovi talk, maybe even some REM, but what other future episode ideas can you guys come up with? Here's one idea I had. An episode teaching Adam how to use his fucking phone.

I'm happy they didn't say this is the end of the podcast for good, because this was just too god damn amazing. Since it's been such an amazing podcast I'll live while the scotts take a break, but man I hope they come back and even after U2's new album they continue to host this podcast. Good ep. GREAT EP

Well yeah, obviously that'll come eventually. But in the meantime we will have plenty of other stuff.

Yeah I agree. I think they will keep doing it so long as they don't run out of ideas or get bored of it (at least I hope so) Maybe move onto a different band. Either way, with the slowing it down episodes, and the stand glass, I know whatever scott and scott come up with it won't disappoint.
