They were too proud to ask for donations as a network, and the accepted culture was to actively discourage listeners from making that jump themselves. Podcasts are cheap to produce and build relatively small but dedicated fanbases. They are perfectly suited for the Patreon model, and I'm glad that The Best Show appears to be off to a good start by switching over to it. Does anyone want to guess how long the 'ad-free archive' will last? It's clear the hosts are not in control of their own content, so I think ad-free will last for about two years before the parent company figure out how to do insert ads on old episodes.

I wonder if Earwolf's donation drive would have done better through Patreon for recurring donations versus the seeming emphasis on onetime donations. The Dollop, which is underloved here, also has a viable Patreon. Maybe it just works better at the individual show scale which would mean there'd still have to be a central entity running the studio. edit: efb

Important thing about the earwolf donations: they went to earwolf to buy new equipment & pay staff and stuff. The show you donated to didn't get any of it. Which might explain why none of them gave a crap about it & didn't promote it.

The funniest thing about the paywall was scott trying to say it's actually better for new listeners because it's harder to get into a show when all the episodes are available

The incentive is it's not worth the hassle of going and ungiving your $5 a month.

Well I think Best Show is in a pretty unique spot for this coming from his WFMU days. Patreon is just the modern platform for your old school community radio funddrives. If you make great stuff that brings joy to people's lives, they'll throw you five bucks a month. But I think people feel more inclined to give when it's to a non-commercial cause, like NPR or paying rent on the Chapo mansion. Who would want to donate money to a business?

The dumb thing is I pay $5/mo or whatever to Howl. If they set up Patreons for the individual shows I'd easily give $5/mo each to a few.

That Die Hard commentary Gabrus put up was pretty funny up to the part where he get's wings delivered and they sit in silence eating while watching the movie.

Aww, I was saving that episode until I could sit down and sync it up with the movie but now maybe I won't. How far in does that happen?

I started listening to that ep while playing diablo 3 and stopped and watched the entire movie die hard instead. I did NOT get to the part where the wings arrive.

I hadn't watched die hard in a couple of years, so I synced it up and it was good, wings part aside (they're not chewing into the mics or anything, it was just kind of a dead spot) that said, I wouldn't recommend it at all unless you're watching the movie

It does pick up after they finish eating, but it's for sure a turning point, the first hour or so is funnier. It's still a crazy thing to happen during a video commentary. GoutPatrol posted:I listened while driving and it was like I could see the movie in my mind. No detail left unsaid Dear Die Hard, You rock. Especially when that guy asked if these were parmesan garlic wings. P.S. Do you know what flavors of LaCroix John Gemberling has?

It took me a while to realize they were reviewing a new teaser, not The King of Comedy from the 70s.

Analyze This/That for his gangster movies, Grudge Match for Raging Bull and now I guess this for The King of Comedy. I predict his last movie with be an adaptation of Crazy Taxi.

I guess they could have done a better job promoting it since I either never knew or forgot that he had an Earwolf podcast.

It would probably help if they redesigned their front page because they have way too many podcasts for the way it's currently formatted I think
