I Was There Too is my new favourite podcast. The Paul Rust episode is fascinating from start to finish. Matt Gourley is also a great interviewer and always fun to be with.

Jeff or Adam, if you're listening, I can get this howl thing humming for like $100k and 3 months of time. These stagebloc guys took you for a ride.

If anyone hasn't given The Complete Woman a chance on Howl, it's got a great Superego feel to it in both humor and editing style. Not really a surprise, since Gourley is featured heavily.

Has anyone tried to develop tech to allow podcasters to insert new ads into old EPs automatically? I would think that could be an option for supporting old content.

I imagine it's a real big cliff that the number of listeners to an episode drops off after the first few weeks, like movies and video games for the most part. Still would be interesting to see the actual data on it.

So has anyone actually signed up past the free trial? A twitter follower just posted a screenshot showing that she's charged $5 every six months, but wasn't it monthly?

This download button thing is such a weird sticking point. It's like they're learning now what everyone else who started selling digital music learned over a decade ago. Paste this in your console and you've got download buttons. Paying members only please!!! code:

Well they kept saying they wanted to be like Netflix for podcasts or something to that effect. What they don't realize is they should be more like the Spotify. Which lets you download hard copies as long as you're a paying member. However their backend is a loving disaster.

There's a mini ep of Womp It Up at the end of today's Sklarbro County. The whole episode is a delight though. I really want them four to write a pilot where they play each other's spouses.

"Our episodes are trapped inside the Howl and the only way to get them out is to pay for what used to be free" "The old system was you had to search in some menu in iTunes and find the episode you wanted but now, HOWL, you just pay for the service, it's got this easy searchable menu, with only SOME of the shows from iTunes." "And it used to be that you could use it on every phone, it's like, what am I gonna do with all these phones? so now you can only use it on some phones. Not most of them."

Those ads were incredible and the episode was solid, too. I think I'll try to listen to episodes with the sillier guests.

The last Gutterballs episode was really good.

The entire time they were stripping out the ads from the old EPs they could have been marking the locations for ad breaks and using some sort of a software solution to insert new ads. I am quite sure that smaller advertisers could be attracted to the old episodes, OR they could up their numbers for current advertisers by having the tech to insert the new ads.

If I'm spending low-to-mid four figures to promote my business, there's no way in hell I want my ads in some old Comedy Bang Bang episode from 2013.

It would be irrelevant what show or episode. If I'm paying Midroll to advertise my business, I don't want to pay them per ad play. I want to pay them X amount of dollars upfront to hear my ad on the latest episode of _____ because I know it will reach the most ears by default. And if I'm Midroll, I definitely don't want to be paid on a per-stream basis on four year old episodes behind a paywall. I'm not even sure what kind of person, speaking in economic terms, listens to old episodes of podcasts. I consider myself a huge podcast nerd and the only podcasts I ever go back and listen to are random U Talking U2s/Analyze Phish to help me sleep... but only if nothing new is available. I have decent disposable income and the only product I've bought in 5 years was a Casper mattress, which was a necessity and not a "Oh hey, maybe I'll try Sherri's Berris."

So you'd rather spend low-to-mid four figures and only get ads in new episodes instead of both new and old for a probably negligible difference in price?

I only started listening to most Earwolf shows in the last few months, since I now have a fairly long commute to work. I have listened to a whoooole lot of Comedy Bang Bang, How Did This Get Made, etc episodes that were older than 6 months over the past while. I basically only got into CBB because I went back and specifically listened to the Farts & Procreation episodes. And now sometimes I also just throw on the Solo Bolos or other great episodes when I'm doing something else and don't want to pay 100% attention. thexerox123 fucked around with this message at 00:01 on Sep 3, 2015 |

Definitely, because the difference in listeners this week for the newest CBB and some random ep from 2011 is not negligible. Also, how will people know the ads are current and the coupon codes valid? Is there going to be a disclaimer before every episode or ad from here on out saying "This is not an old ad!" Also if you admit you're not paying 100% attention to old episodes in the background, another reason I don't want to spend money that could go towards my business in another way. Wait, I just remembered ads are removed from old episodes in Howl Premium. Why are we even discussing this?

I am quite sure that smaller advertisers could be attracted to the old episodes, OR they could up their numbers for current advertisers by having the tech to insert the new ads. Probably easier to sell Howl itself by having one of the features be "a back catalogue of many episodes" than sell advertisers on the low amount of listeners over the entire back catalogue. By that I mean it's probably easier to get people to pay 5 bucks a month to get The Entire Earwolf Back Catalogue even if they don't really listen to that many of the episodes, than sell the actual numbers to advertisers. It's probably also a decent idea since advertising money kinda sucks and has a good probability of drying up or changing dramatically in the future. A few online publications have already closed their doors because their advertisers stopped caring about their numbers and just pulled out. Not necessarily even their numbers going down, just people not caring in general.

But I agree, youtube/hulu style ads, where they could precisely target you and old episodes would have fresh ads (no more expired SHOWSHOW codes), seems a much more modern system. But you probably couldn't get your prices low enough to have someone advertise on old eps of Nocturnal Emotions. ManoliIsFat fucked around with this message at 15:45 on Sep 3, 2015 |
