Holy poo poo, guys. Why aren't you talking about Wild Horses on Howl? It's like the best parts of I4H and Spontaneanation, but without all the dumb bullshit that ruins both of those shows. A good, communal interview, followed by great improv that isn't dominated by a horrible overbearing Matt Besser authority figure.

Glanced at the earwolf forums before I go to bed and it appears the Howl.FM app is poo poo. I still haven't downloaded it. Biggest issues seem to be that the downloaded episodes in the app don't stay downloaded, it crashes a lot, you can't fast forward (jesus christ), also and to quote the forum, "ATTENTION: iTunes is not accepting our coupon codes.. if you want to use a host promo code for the 30 day trial you have to sign up on Howl.fm first and not inside the app.

Release the app first, make sure it works properly, THEN monetize.

All I want is to listen to the old episodes of Maron that I paid money for back in like June. The WTF app sucked dicks, the Howl app sucks dicks, and I listen to podcasts while at work, where there's no wifi. It's kinda a moot point right now because I'm using an Android device, but that's just another reason to be annoyed.

I hate iTunes just as much as the next guy, but i'm sure glad I relented several years ago and installed it just for the podcasts. I've got just about every episode I could ever want! And it looks like they've forgotten to stop allowing old episodes to be downloaded, because every CBB and WTF episode is still available. I guess i'll have to check and see what else is still there too.

Yeah I had the Howl app crash on me a few times when trying to play old CBB eps, so I just downloaded every ep of every show I listen to or have an interest in starting to listen to in the near future, because I don't see things getting much better based on Earwolf's history with apps. It doesn't seem like they have anyone over there with enough technical knowledge to make this work correctly, much less making it my go-to app for podcasts. That being said, if anyone is signing up, using the promo code WTF cut a dollar / month off the price for me and looks to be a permanent discount.

Once things sort of start working that 6 month cut off will go in effect.

Is Wild Horses: Perspectives going to be more than 5 episodes? It's a pretty amazing podcast, it would be a shame if that's all they did.

I think it's a cool way to do limited series, which is hard to get ad support for, but otherwise the Howl app is very pretty but undercooked and needs some work. To be honest, the subscription doesn't bother me. They have busted their rear end off for years for nothing, and if they need another way to keep the ship going that's fine. I also like having a big list of earwolf and wolf pop stuff to browse through. It's easier than doing it in Downcast. Thanks to Howl I finally checked out I was there too and it's so great. The Wild Horses one is super amazing too.

I think they do it live like once a month or something, I see them plugging it on Twitter sometimes. Maybe they'll start releasing the audio of those?

I downloaded all of Reality Show Show earlier today so I would always have access to it. This is your reminder to do the same, and also that Sean's story about his high school trip to the Louvre in the episode "Freaks Come Out at Night" is absolutely fantastic. "That's right, go; go back to high school, little boy..." JethroMcB fucked around with this message at 04:01 on Aug 31, 2015 |

I think my favorite part is Hayes' nonplussed "I think that's really a testament to how much pants have changed, that she could just reach right in and jerk you off" reaction. I know it's because he'd heard it before, but still. tnimark posted:Adam Sachs just popped up to talk about Howl in this thread: http://forum.earwolf.com/topic/25100-questions-for-scott-re-howl/page__st__380 Has anyone told him about how you can easily steal the premium content?

Someone posted about it earlier in the thread, about how with basic HTTP knowledge you can isolate the mp3s on the Howl site and download them, and it doesn't check to see if you're logged in or anything.

You don't need an app to access their website. It's https://www.howl.fm To be honest I don't really get why people are whining so much about the android app. Everyone has Google Chrome, right?

Because the vast majority of people use their phones to listen to podcasts in situations where they aren't in front of their computers? And the majority of smartphones are Android devices? Maybe that's why.

People are also upset because the mobile site sucks. People want to be able to download the shows whether it be an MP3 or archived/saved into the app, which as it stands now is buggy as hell and doesn't work well. And it is stupid even if android was only 20 percent of your mobile user base to not have that because then you're just throwing money away. It's stupid. And yes all you have to do to download premium content is go to the landing page for a show and open the source and control F ".mp3" and you can download anything right now. It's hilarious.

I'm kinda glad my iPhone 4S can't even run the new Howl app. Hopefully by the time I can upgrade in November, all the kinks will be worked out because I actually want to give Scotty 2 Hotty $5 a month.

Why does it need to be an app having a download feature rather than the website? What makes going to a website through an app better than a browser?

Do you play a lot of MP3s via your mobile browser? How about on Android? It's a garbage experience. Have you ever tried to download an entire archive of MP3s onto a device, then have them stored and organized in an easy-to-play manner? Nobody is saying "It's literally impossible for me to listen to Howl on my phone!" They are saying that it's a terrible, awkward, and clunky experience even when it does work. Plus, as pointed out above, people who commute or don't live in great service areas don't have consistent data connections. That includes commuters in, say, LA and New York, the two biggest comedy communities in the US and the people most likely to listen to Earwolf. I mean, keep the lovely weirdly elitist attitude by all means, but at least recognize that a significant percentage of real people are having real problems with how this system works currently. feedmyleg fucked around with this message at 04:24 on Sep 1, 2015 |

I really want them to say at this point "Ok we hosed up but if we let you just download MP3's from the website will you still subscribe?" Because the answer would be yes, yes you silly fucks.
