Hi everyone! Chad here. Thanks again for the amazing feedback. Keep it coming! I just finished up editing episode 4 with special guest Jerry C. Minor and you'll have it for your earholes Wednesday. I really like it, but I am of course completely biased. To address a few things directly, Shannon, of COURSE we used your awesome voicemail! I told you it was great in the other forum! Thanks! This episode is a little on the short side, I know. There were a couple of reasons for that. We always want the episodes to fall between 40-50 minutes, mostly because that is the limit of our personal attention spans when we're listening to it. There are a lot of comedy podcasts out there that go on for 90 minutes or more and that just doesn't fit the style we're going for. This one comes up on the really short side at 35 minutes. A big reason is that we were originally leaving space for a couple of two minute sponsor reads that unfortunately never materialized. We're young. We're working on it. Episode 4 is around 45 minutes by the way.... The music at the end of the podcast (before the Earwolf Tag) is an original piece composed by David Bazan specifically for The Hooray Show. It was originally composed when Horatio was piloting The Hooray Show as a TV show a few years ago and we decided to use it as our podcast's closing theme. I had never heard David's music until Horatio turned me on to it, and now, let's just say, Bro-Bro studios is a HUGE Bazan house! Love him. We plan to have him on a future episode. This is also why we will continue to use Bazan's "Bless This Mess" as our opening theme song. As far as the nickname "Rog" or "Raj".... we'll address that on a future episode. I've known the dude for over twenty years and I don't think I've ever gotten a straight answer to that question. I THINK I know.... but I would rather let Rog explain it himself. Thank you for your awesome comments and PLEASE continue to participate. You can find me and Horatio on twitter @chaddychoo - @mrhoratiosanz or @hoorayshow - We've started a facebook page as well and we definitely appreciate you spreading the hooray wherever and whenver you can. We're going to get it more organized soon... promise... Writing from Horatio's basement, aka, bro-bro studios... much love kidz! Chad Krueger Producer The Hooray Show

Hi Everyone! Thank you all so much for the amazing feedback. Just to reiterate, this will be a weekly podcast beginning in January. I am currently editing together episodes 2,3 and 4 and we are just getting started. We have a wealth of great content, interviews, sketches and more ready to go and look forward to bringing your earholes into bro-bro studios for the foreseeable future. We are also working on ways to make the show more interactive, so look forward to that as well. One thing I did want to address directly, an earlier poster had asked if the "Ebola Soup" bit was meant to be ironic or sarcastic. I can assure you it was neither. It was written on a Saturday afternoon with tons of joy and downright giddiness. Horatio and I both share a love for classic radio and television. I personally grew up on a three-album collection of Abbot and Costello that I listened to constantly. In fact, somewhere there is a tape of me and my dad doing "Who's on First" when I was 5 years old. So, think of it more like Lady Gaga doing an album with Tony Bennett. When we had a chance to perform a sketch about Ebola in the style of a classic radio comedy, we took it. "The Hooray Show" is not just a pun, and it tickles me that it takes people a while to get it, it's a philosophy. We approach the show from a space of joy. We are here to celebrate, not tear down. There will be tons of "inside baseball" (as I like to call it), i.e. behind the scenes conversations with professionals in the comedy business, but our overall approach is to keep it positive. If you want people shitting on goodness, there are plenty of other places to find that. Please continue to participate in this forum and leave feedback, or if you have any questions, I will try to make myself available. I kind of swore to myself when we released this thing that I wouldn't read the comments, but you guys are so freaking positive (and/or Earwolf does an amazing job of eliminating trolls and negative comments) that I am genuinely excited whenever I see someone post. Thank you! Chad Krueger Producer, The Hooray Show
