HH should do a special "Talking about The Challenge" episode now that The Challenge is back on MTV. As we all know, appearing on The Challenge is the easiest way to write your own ticket in Hollywood, and I feel like Hayes and Sean may have a few things to say about it.

I mean, if they talk about The Challenge, they might as well talk about a few other reality shows while they're at it.

jeffullrich posted:There are no plans to cancel the show. Seriously. Because it typically takes longer for high quality intelligent shows to find an audience? Because it can be a gateway for a younger audience to find Earwolf's stable of shows featuring 40+ year-old podcasters? Because it's a "prestige" show that may not be profitable by itself, but enhances the reputation of the network, like professional sports? Because while the audience may be small they seem like the kind of assholes that would annoy you with "Why did you cancel HH?!" everywhere you go? Because I don't know and I'm just making stuff up?

I think it reflects well on Earwolf if huge successes like Comedy Bang Bang can help pay for niche shows like Hollywood Handbook. I know ultimately it's a business, but stuff like that gives it a reputation as a good place for people to come to make their podcasts, which helps it to grow. Hollywood Handbook will be rolling in donations pretty soon anyway once all of their listeners start kicking butt and taking names in the red carpet lined back hallways of this industry we call showbusiness.

This is by far the most compelling argument. Thanks for the (mostly) earnest responses. All good points. And as Conduit said, it's complicated. If we did cancel the show, we don't get our money back, we've already invested in the staff and studio to do it. It merely prevents us from adding a different show. I love the show, love the guys, and have no interest in canceling it. I just thought this was a good place to ask the question.

"You just pulled your dick out in front of a child" had me just about in tears. That episode was so much funnier than I could have hoped for.

There are a lot of good state colleges out of there. CSU Channel Islands is a good alternative to UCSB if your daughter wants an affordable education at a place that's still close to the beach. No, it's not actually on an island.

jeffullrich posted:There are no plans to cancel the show. Seriously. you raise a lot of good points as someone who is obviously neck deep in the podcasting game and I can't exactly refute them, it's mostly that I just really love both Handbook and RSS, it was pretty much the first non-CBB or HDTGM podcast on earwolf that I listened to and it just hit this weird comedy nerve in me that not a lot of things I'm exposed to can. There's no doubt that it completely sucks to have a show that's essentially costing you as much as HH or RSS do and as an outsider to the industry I'm sure I have no idea as far as the grand toll the show takes on the network in general. I guess I had a question as well, something that's come up to me a few times recently listening to CBB, lately there's been the odd cross-promotion for different shows on earwolf, is it just that y'all consider HH to be too far gone at this point to be able to make up the ground? it just always struck me as odd to hear Scott or whoever tossing plugs in for topics or Andy Daly's show when (especially in the case of the podcast pilot project) it seems like you have a huge built-in audience for shows like that, but that same kind of built-in audience doesn't really exist for something like RSS or even the non Hayes & Sean centric shows on earwolf, guess I'm just kind of curious how those kind of calls are made, as far as promoting the smaller podcasts on the larger ones. anyway I apologize if this was rambling but thanks for replying to my first dumb post anyway Jeff! We good.

If you could get Hayes and Sean to do CBB, that'd probably be pretty helpful exposure-wise, but I dunno if Scott could convince those two to slum it on a second-rate podcast

Maybe cancel HH and give the boys another fun show where they just hang out with the posters in this thread and do whatever. Then cancel that one

I never listened to Reality Show Show because I don't watch reality shows (except for Face/Off which is too scary) but I'm listening to it all now now and I'm cracking up at work and everyone's looking at me.

Sean and Hayes are great and I love those two goofs on their own, but they bring their A-plus game riffing on banal and idiotic entertainment. Basically it was a podcast too good for this world, and it could have become huge if people had known how funny it was (or maybe if it didn't have "reality show" in the title?) If RSS ever came back, I would sign up for a free digital scale from Stamps.com.

All the comments about it also don't make me want to listen to it. It's not even that it's something I don't care about, I listen to U talkin U2 to me and James Bonding and I don't care about either of those subjects.
