I recommended WHM to someone who is a Flophouse fan and they were like "so, I see they're corporate sponsored and you can only get some of their episodes on some app :smug: " and I was very confused by this. They have some ads in the beginning for generally small companies that you can just skip and they don't do the app thing anymore which was just for special bonus eps anyway. Better poo poo on these guys for trying to make a couple bucks off their free podcast, ya know, like most podcasts.

Beware the corporate influences of BIG RAZOR BLADE.

Seriously, no company that advertises on podcasts is like your Wal Marts or your Coca Colas. Heaven forbid you hear an ad for a thing and think of buying it rather than saying "gently caress UR SYSTEM."

They even quit the app thing and work in episodes from it on their repeats sometimes. You can even listen to it all on bandcamp.

The only thing you need to pay for is their commentaries, and if you're really cheap you can get them for a buck on google play.

So if that's the case if I buy it on cdbaby they get about 3.60 but if I buy it on Apple they get about 7 bucks.
What? No.

The price for the commentary is three bucks. If you buy it on iTunes, WHM gets $2.10. If you buy it on CD Baby, WHM gets $2.73.

Oh yeah, Pepsi Max. The diet cola that's superior to Coke Zero. Don't mind that either! Dear god, have they never heard like an old time radio show that drops ads right in the middle? Or like...any other podcast that's got more than 10 listeners?

Oh that's interesting, so in addition to taking a larger cut iTunes marks up the episode and then takes that as well? Because the Sithmentary is $9.99 on iTunes.

Has there been any explanation as to why it's only $2.99 ($4.14 Canadian) on CD Baby and 10 dollars on the Canadian iTunes store?

^^ beat me to it. Point still stands though

I think it's something about it being album length so iTunes prices it at an album price. I'm not 100% though, but they don't set the iTunes price. Same thing happens with Welcome to Nightvale with bandcamp vs iTunes I believe too.

I was going to wait for the Sithmentary to show up on Amazon since that's where I've bought previous WHM commentary tracks and I like having all my stuff in one place for when I want to download it again later on, but I guess if the guys get a bigger piece of the pie from CDBaby I can hold my nose and buy it there.


Also I'm pretty impatient.

No-one's fessed up in there either. I think hearing it out loud and then being laughed at may have shamed Corporal Goon into silence.

That period story was so bad :( brings to mind the fact that nobody tells you what cramps actually feel like, so you think you've got a horrendous stomach ache until..whoops, insanely heavy period! Definitely eclipses the mild shame of the story that *I* sent into the mailbag (the costume shop one.) Her friends were complete dicks.
