EPISODE 370 — The Brochelor

[clams 242]

I wonder if they will take it off Soundcloud? Quick! Download them all!

[Conzea 62]

So I don't mind paying the very reasonable price for all this CONTENT (even though I can't because I have an iphone 4) but Scott's reasons for getting rid of the free earwolf archives made no sense, right?

 

It's just a push to make people get the app which is fine I guess but tell it to me straight Scott! I'm not a little boy who wanted to be big boy anymore.

[VajayjayLeno 336]

As one of the 80% of smartphone owners who uses an Android phone, I reject all calls to stop whining. For too long, we silent majority have been treated as second class app citizens. Ignored by these elitist Hollywood jerks because we refused to bow down. Cast aside because we chose to be individuals. Crush underheel because we're too poor to buy an iPhone. No longer.

 

I make my stand here. I refuse to pay for CBB anymore until Android has a Howl app.

[MarcusIrving 286]

I like the ads. Probably won't be listening to new eps in the app. Super excited to listen to old WTF and those live episodes of CBB I've gone years without listening to.

If you guys can get old Never Not Funny on Howl my year will have been made.

[Conzea 62]

Also I can't download eps from the Howl desktop site and then sync to my iphone or mp3 player!

 

This is literally the worst thing that's ever happened, ever.

lol...I hear you. Is there not a way for us to get the content to sync to our iPods (or other devices?). I only listen on my iPod so I'm hoping there is a step I'm missing or something.

[DoctorFrog 649]

Change scares me. Especially if I have to pay for something.

"Download the Howl app or go to Howl.FM and use the promo code CBB for a one month free trial of Howl Premium!"

 

Where can I enter this code for the free month as opposed to the free week?

[djwetmouse 74]

I'm very interested in the Howl app. but I am a android user and need to download my podcasts in the morning (long comute no reception on train). I look forward to the Android version which they may or may not be working on developing.

[bwilliamsdc 19]

There is a thread on Howl in these forums where someone implied that the Android app is being developed. It was from quite awhile ago, so I hope that's still true. Either way, it's disappointing that something was not ready for this launch.

 

Sorry for no links. I just have no journalistic integrity and you can all *points at crotch*.

[AlbinLundholm 4020]

 

Why is that a fail?

Not an Earwolf show anymore

[AlbinLundholm 4020]

 

There's FORTY-ONE of them so get going!

I'll listen to 3 simultaneously

[Lukas Holmes 2287]

Not an Earwolf show anymore

 

Of course, but it was at one point so I think that archive travels over to here.

Yeah, same thing. I need to download. I'll still subscribe and just get new stuff the usual way on iTunes, but I look forward to the day they make things downloadable.

[HotSaucerman 2051]

Not an Earwolf show anymore

They still have the rights to the Hooray Show episodes before it went independent.

[djwetmouse 74]

Found it.

 

I don't know any of the specifics, but I'm told yes, it's being worked on.

 

Until then - www.howl.fm

[VajayjayLeno 336]

Good job, man. Way to dig deep.

[UPNFOX 33]

Okay, Content-Heads, this is the episode we've been waiting for! Not since the Big Bang (theory) have we gotten such an explosion of new content. Fingerguns crossed for some solid premium Hayes and Sean in the next few weeks.

I entered it in the Coupon box at checkout, but it still says the trial ends after a week.

"I think we're approaching this the wrong way, and I think it's more of a magic trick that the mother performs."

"Oh, ok! An illusion."

"TA-DAAAAA."

"Is this your baby?"

 

I should not listen to this while biking to work, it's dangerous for my health to laugh that hard.

[bwilliamsdc 19]

Found it.

 

Thank you for being a much better person than me. It was an older conversation that didn't involve Scott, but this NEW news is much more encouraging than my vague old news that who knows maybe I just made it up runnnnn on sentence, runn on into the niiiiiight.

[Shannon 2953]

I entered it in the Coupon box at checkout, but it still says the trial ends after a week.

 

We are working on this, trying to make it look less confusing. But if you entered a code for a 30 day trial, that will start as soon as your 7 day default trial is over.

[blank 35]

Very excited for the new comment, but can't help to feel very let down.

I've already paid for all the Live CBB, the old WTF and even donated money to the network, so the only thing that I take from this is that I won't be able to listen my favourite old episodes unless I become a weird podcast hoarder.

 

Streaming is a terrible option for me (Commuting in an underground metro w/o reception + limited data plans).

And of course I have an Android, and the fact that it was an afterthought to make an Android app for arguably the most professionnal podcast empire out there is insane to me.

 

That's really popping my stones!

[mwn 5470]

Is there a way to download stuff from howl.fm, as opposed to playing in-browser? I'm a stupid fuckup loser with a non-apple phone and an ancient iPod Classic and I'd love to have access to just the straight mp3s or whatever so I can take this delicious content on "the go."

I agree that the feeling is kinda a let down due to the fact that they say that only the last six months of shows will be available, although as of right now it looks like they are all still downloadable. If they had launched this without that restriction I would feel a lot better about it.

ALL OF EARWOLF AND WOLFPOP

I would assume the premium would also include downloading but I wonder what's to stop someone (not me ) from joining the free trial and downloading all the bonus shows I can, and then canceling my membership.
