Apparently Scott posted in the Earwolf forums that they're going to be producing a season 2 of Mike Detective for Howl at some point, so I now think this is the greatest idea of all time and will pay for it until I die

People who were a little late to CBB absolutely need to listen to all of Mike Detective in one sitting.

There's a desktop version at howl.fm

They said android users should just use that version on their phone until they release an app for it which is kinda ridiculous

Also the player on the website is horrendous. As far as I can tell you can't skip to a specific part and audio controls are just mute/unmute. (And you can't download anything unless you go into the source code and find the url for the mp3 because they want to be podcast netflix)

I dunno if the player in the mobile version is any better.

New episodes of everything will be available on iTunes and all the normal sources, it's just episodes that are at least 6 months old that will be under Howl.

We know from a discussion on the show that Besser has a Samsung Galaxy, so for the first time I'm really hoping for an extended rant on I4H where he's furious that he can't listen to old episodes of his own goddamn show anymore.

You don't even have to sign up for anything with the itunes. Just download it, install, get the episodes you want, delete it forever (but move the mp3s first, not sure if they'd remove the default folders with uninstalls)

Yeah that is real lame, I listen to podcasts at work and that is not a viable option for me.

The money is no issue at all since I'll happily support stuff I like but dang, it feels like they rushed it out in a way that inconveniences many.

The only thing about Howl I'm not thrilled with is that I can't use my regular podcast app. Otherwise I am 100% on board.

They just tweeted that the Android version is coming soon btw.

I'm not opposed to podcasters asking for money, but this app setup doesn't work for me. I need those MP3 downloads and RSS feeds or else I'll never be able to keep track.

I won't be signing up right away. I'll probably sign up for a month at a time now and then if there are specific things I really want to hear.

For the hours of entertainment I already get, I'm going to pay for Howl whether I use it or not.

This is exactly what I want from all the media I enjoy, I don't want ads (even if sometimes they're funny) and I'd love a way to support them that isn't t-shirts and hot sauces. I think they should've done a patreon model though, let people pay per episode if they want, give bonus poo poo for contributing.

Keven. Just. Keven posted:

I mean maybe archives being gated is ok but I'm not downloading a podcast app other than the one I have, which currently can play every single podcast in the entire world. As far as I'm aware the Howl app lacks that critical functionality.

I use beyondpod with feedly, it's really convenient and I can keep track of what I've listened to regardless of how often I switch phones or flash a new rom. The deal breaker for me will probably be the fact that I can't just get a private/keyed RSS feed or something (even if they had an android app). Maybe they'll add that functionality at some point?

Isn't that the donation model they had in place? You could donate to a show, or to the studio, one time or recurring. Bonus was random, getting a shout out or something personal from the show.

I never donated because I don't want a shout out or anything they provided, the bonus poo poo wasn't guaranteed and there was no incentive other than good feels. Instead I just have like 6 earwolf shirts and hot sauce and I paid for a couple of the live shows. Patreon is different because it has milestones and stuff to guarantee you're getting something for your money.

Howl app on iOS is terrible. Downloads don't stay downloaded. There's no such thing as subscribing to anything. If they don't bring out passworded RSS feeds, it's going to be a real bummer to pay for this poo poo.

Butttttt "The Complete Woman" is a pretty dope new podcast though. Amanda "Fun-buns" Lund (aka Matt Gourley's girlfriend) plus Mark McConville and everyone else. It's very SuperEgo but with a woman-creature's strange vaginal melancholy.

I may keep a premium account but delete the app and just find some way to pirate the new shows.

Even crazier, apparently they wanted to launch Howl months ago but wanted to wait so they had time to fix bugs and add content. If they think the current status is launch-ready with already months of added bug-fixing, I can't imagine that previous version.
