I'll always have a soft spot for the Nerdist because it's brought me The Indoor Kids, The Todd Glass Show, You Made it Weird, and most important to me, The JV Club. But I haven't listened in ages and don't think I will unless they have on someone amazing.

Ah yes, I use iTunes for everything  .I just recently unsubscribed from Nerdist on my Phone. I still get the updates on my computer so I can see when they get someone really interesting but that hasn't been the case for a long, long time. They haven't even lost any quality...I'm just not interested anymore. On a long-ish train ride today I ran out of podcasts. I had to listen to 3 Apple Sisters episodes. I think I have diabetes now.

I'm pretty sure we can all agree that Chris Hardwick and Matt Mira are usually the worst part of the Nerdist network

I think it's going to get worse from here on out, now that advertisers know how desperate comedy podcasts seem to be for money. How much, I wonder, does Earwolf pay for hosting, let alone recording, and how much possibly could Pepsi ads have paid them for a run that lasted several weeks on however many podcasts Earwolf produces? Does the talent get paid?

The thing about Matt Mira is... He seems like a perfectly normal, reasonable, intelligent, even funny guy. But I don't think he's enough of any of those things to be entertaining. It's like, I bet he'd be fun to hang out with, but I wouldn't pay money to see him do anything. In that sense, I feel he's miscast as a professional entertainer. I don't have anything against the guy.

Me neither, but I'm leaning toward "bad." I guess it was just a matter of time before big production companies realized there were IP gold mines that could be had for pennies on the dollar. I doubt we'll see any negative impact in the next few months, and I also believe that Chris has the best intentions, but uh... Legendary Entertainment doesn't seem to be in the "indie/DIY content made with love" business. I doubt they know or care what a podcast even is. But you look at the list of people who are producing shows for free and it seems like a no-brainer to get involved and acquire a valuable brand in the process. Turn one of those things into a TV show or syndicated radio show every 12-18 months and you're golden. As long as they are totally hands-off You Made it Weird and The JV Club I don't really care one way or the other what they wind up doing. But we're at an interesting crossroads in the podcasting medium. I hope they don't lose what I love about them.

Turn one of those things into a TV show or syndicated radio show every 12-18 months and you're golden. There are so many stories about old media companies taking independent outfits and either ruining them or just outright killing them. Video game podcasts fell victim to this a while ago, so I'm not surprised (but very dismayed) that it's now starting to happen to comedy podcasts. This was actually part of the point I was making a few posts up too: how much do the podcast networks need money so that they'll either take slightly humiliating ad deals, or now get bought out by old media? I don't think Nerdist's podcasts will change much in the short run, but probably in nine months or so, Legendary will probably start flooding the channel with inane podcasts about each of their new movies coming out until the brand gets so bloated it carries little resemblance. I mean, I hope not, but I've seen similar things happen before.

You say that like going corporate isn't usually terrible for art and expression. It's scary, although I believe your MaxFun, your WTF, your WtRs will always be independent and doing it for love of the g- er, medium/format. Even Earwolf is indie, technically, but you've got a jerk of a businessman in Jeff Ulrich running it and I can't say the quality of shows hasn't taken a dip over the past 3-6 months. I've dropped pretty much every Earwolf show beside CBB! and I've even been skipping some of those. Who Charted really took a nosedive near the end/immediately following Dustin's departure and I'm not fully sure why cause it's not like his impact on the show was apparent at all. Anyway, my point is that once profit and expansion and Cross-Platform Synergy become the driving force instead of doing a thing they love and making some money off it - and I have no problem with a Jimmy Pardo, a Jesse Thorn, or a Janet Varney being handsomely compensated from their podcasts - the content kind of has to change as well.

The problem is that podcasts are a money hole, and corporations exist solely to make money. Legendary produces content in the billions of dollars that sees revenue coming back to them, whereas podcasts really are more of a creation tool and a discussion platform than they are anything else. Eventually, the podcasts who don't make money are going to start getting a layer of scrutiny, and those that seem to cost more to host than the download counts justify will start disappearing from the network. This is why I prefer podcasts having a public radio model of donations and merchandise, since I've always seen podcasts as a way to promote the talent than to make money. After all, Marc Maron felt he was pretty much done as a performer until his podcast broke big, and it's been amazing to watch him evolve from what WTF started out being to what it is now. On the other hand, I can't blame Chris for doing it, I'm sure he wants to create more content more than he wants to run a business, but at the end of the day, the podcasts will have to justify to the new owners why they exist and what value they hold. Also I feel like there's a general inferiority complex for new media, like they don't feel legitimate because they don't have the revenue streams of old media or the content distribution or the production values, and it doesn't help that people like us are reacting pretty negatively to attempts to advertise on podcasts the same way they advertise on morning radio. A lot of serious words about comedy podcasts!!!!

The latest WTR they talked about how they're looking for a podcast network. They defiantly wont be on Earwolf but christ I hope they don't end up with smodcast. Come on Jesse Thorne pick up Dave and Greg. They've got the same business model in mind even though they don't have the same feel as the other maxfun podcasts.

My bet would have been a Put This On podcast, then I checked his twitter feed: It's amazing, and if you haven't listened to it yet, you'll need to. The new #MaxFun show is short, monthly, and absolutely revelatory. Fail to listen at your peril. So it's definitely something pre-existing. Announcement's today, at any rate.
