also, if you like mbmbam you'd probably like SPY imho.

I like both shows, but they're very different, and liking one won't necessarily mean you like the other. SPY sometimes has literally no jumping off points, and can just be boring people talking about boring stuff until Overheards, and it's only saved if you enjoy Dave & Graham's (and probable guest's) delivery. It can be a tough show to get into.

If you're going to give it a try again, find one with a guest you know. He hasn't been on in years, I think, but I started with one with PFT as a guest and was immediately sold. If you've already done this, then I am sorry the show is not for you.

I also don't think they'll ever release Milwaukee from their latest tour. Griffin was on painkillers for his back from the Minneapolis incident, Justin was hella sick, and none of them really got into the groove of the show. And only one audience question was worth listening to.

Also not really a lot of ani in that animatic. It's just the same drawings of them but with different faces and sometimes zoomed in.

I swear every third recommended video on my youtube is one of these or some lame kinetic typography thing, there are so many. Maybe MBMBaM really appeals to freshman animation majors, that would track.

Didn't they issue an apology for this one or something? I know a few live shows went bad last year, but for some reason one meriting an apology seems familiar.

Maybe one of these bad shows will be released for April Fool's or something.

I'm assuming they'll all get released in some form sooner or later, even if somewhat abridged like the Chicago shows. They had a lot of live shows in the can and people always complain when there's too many released together, so I'm guessing they're saving them up to be released slowly.

I would guess that, impression-for-dollar, podcast ads on popular shows are more cost-effective than most other forms of paid advertising (for at least some types of products), while still (these days) being out of the reach of small businesses. So any company with any semblance of a real ad budget who bothers to look into podcast ads will wind up totally blanketing the pod-o-sphere with them, because Some Chick With An Etsy Store can no longer afford it and most advertisers still aren't interested/don't want to bother/don't know podcasts exist.

Weird how advertisers don't like ad reads that consist of "this product is poo poo" repeated for a full 5 minutes. Especially when it's true.

There's only 10 podcast advertisers and half of them are the same service as the other half (Dollar Shave Club/Harry's, Blue Apron/Hello Fresh, etc..) so I can imagine it's pretty easy to blacklist yourself if you're not going to play ball.

isn't the entirety of podcast advertising 90% dominated by one ad bundling service that just sends the people in charge of podcasts lists saying 'pick who you want' and that's why almost everyone has the same ones with the same structure and everything?

My favorite so far is on Earwolf where they used to be sponsored by Casper mattresses, and every now and then a guest will make a passing remark trying to jokingly work them into a bit about them being tied, and Scott will have to go "no no, we're with Leesa now."

What do you mean by "better?" The character interactions are pretty good IMO, especially, the stuff with pigeon, but the episode is quite light on goofs since there's no interaction between the PCs. If you don't want to listen to the rest, here's the context you need for the rest of the arc.


Duck Newton met a woman named Pigeon whose friend Pete went missing. She explained that they were attacked by a large creature resembling an extremely large bear, but with "patchwork" fur and a horn coming out of its shoulder. Duck doesn't believe her story, but agrees to investigate. She gives Duck Pete's hunting rifle before leaving.

Aubrey Little was doing her act on a small stage in a hotel lobby. One of her tricks went wrong when she accidentally used real magic and set the building on fire. However, she was able to exert enough control to reign the fire in before the whole place burned down. (This has happened before, although she doesn't quite know what "this" is.) Outside the building she absconded before the authorities arrived with the aid of a large, imposing woman in a leather duster who later identified herself as Momma. The woman pointed a gun at Aubrey and demanded to know what she was doing so far from "The Gate." She then offered to take Aubrey back to Kepler. Aubrey has never been to Kepler, but eager to get away from the approaching police cars, she agreed.

Ned Chicane was in his tourist trap, the Cryptonomica, along with his only employee Kirby when he received a piece of certified mail. An eviction notice. Business had been slow and he needed revenue, fast. Kirby suggested that they add a new Bigfoot section to the store, as that particular cryptid has been hot lately. Ned grabbed his Chewbacca costume and got Kirby to teach him how to take blurry pictures before setting off into the woods.

I must have missed that bit about Momma and the Gate, thanks for clearing that up. In act three though, I don't think Kirby is an employee. He writes a cryptozoological zine or something and he hangs out at the Cryptonomicon cause it has good internet.

Griffin is a really really good podcast GM. He knows how to balance letting players do their thing and presenting compelling audio. I'm sure a lot of that can be chalked up to good editing too.

I was pleasantly surprised by Clint's mini arc but this one has hooked me a lot more so far.

It wasn't just podcasts. DraftKings and FanDuel ads were everywhere a few years ago, until the governments started calling their legality into question. You were lucky if you could watch an entire commercial break on tv without seeing one of their ads.
