Technology Equals Might Want to Loot Instead
Nap Ghost
I've just caught up to this thread, and wanted to thank you guys for killing my boring 10-hour workdays.

I've wanted to get into Nerdist and UYD for a while, but every time I try to listen to it, one or two people come through at a decent level, but the rest of the people talking are super quiet, and if I turn it up loud enough to hear the quieter people, then the second Chris Hardwick laughs or something, my eardrums get blown out through my anus. Is there any way to fix this, or is it something you guys just put up with?

If anyone was waiting for the latest Monday Morning Podcast and didn't see it coming through on their feeds, it looks like Bill Burr has a new site redesign and is now using libsyn for his hosting.

And that's why I was forced to surgically attach your hands to your face.
The most recent Jordan Jesse Go with Twofer from 30 Rock was enjoyably loopy. It helped that the guest seemed to really be enjoying himself. Great episode.

So, this is happening according to Harris Wittels.

Recording new Analyze Phish tomorrow with @scottaukerman and @mradamscott. Just the jams. Gonna crunch out for surely, my brawgs!

And James Adomian is on the newest Sklar Bro country which hopefully means he popped in and did CBB while he was there.

I listened to the Wolf Den once but Jeff started talking about podcast monetization and sponsorship, and one of his ideas he had for CBB was to make Would You Rather segments about their sponsors. The example he gave was that they'd do WYR scenarios about Bud Light.

And wasn't the whole Cyberthug debacle centered around how Ulrich wanted to make them sign some kind of restrictive and/or greedy contract?

Plus, he's 50% to blame for Totally Laime getting on Earwolf instead of Little Dum Dum Club.

Wasn't there a blog post about Cyberthug Radio and a contract which would have made Stan Lee blush? Things like Earwolf claiming a piece of any future profits off the IP.
fake e: The aforesaid blog post. "they wanted to keep the overwhelming majority of the advertising revenue that would be generated and have control over any projects that could have spun off from the podcast ... when our lawyers gave them a counter proposal that would have made us equal partners in our ad revenue (after agreeing to let them recoup their initial cost/overhead first) they became uninterested & told us they wouldn't be able to go forward"

I really like Totally Laime, but they were already getting the same guests as any Earwolf show.
The network did not need to become even more insular.

Ulrich used to be Minor's agent or manager, I forget which. Then once he started the network he asked them to do a podcast for Earwolf and poo poo happened. I'm only angry at them cause Cyberthug was shaping up to be the greatest podcast ever and we only got two episodes :(

I like it a lot, and I'd second that recommendation, just as long as you go into it expecting some improv-rear end improv. Me, I happen to love improv comedy so I'm digging it.

I like the podcast, but audio-only improv is really missing something. I'm not sure if you could make up for it by adding in sound effects and ambiance in post, but I doubt it, and they probably know better than to try. So much humor in long-form improv comes from space work, setting the scene, gestures and body language - the overall physicality of the improvisers - that just can't be replaced. There are definitely funny bits in improv4humans, but it's absolutely nothing like seeing these ASSSSCAT!-level performers live. If you get a chance to do that, make sure you do, cause it's fantastic.

Wtf? no WTF thread?

Penn really gets into the libertarian propaganda in the latest WTF but I didn't find it as annoying as I thought I would. It would have been nice if Maron could have challenged him a little more though, specifically I thought it odd that someone who professes to be such a fan of Zinn's People's History of the United States didn't think to ask Penn why the magical libertarian charity world never manifested itself before the advent of labor laws.

But Penn is pretty likable even when doing his political schtick.
