If you don't listen to it how do you know you won't buy it? I hate the ads on dollop, particularly the ones for online therapy.

Basically the only cardinal sin dollop ads don't commit is midrolling. Otherwise: they go on forever, they don't have any distinguishing music to mark the segment, and they roll in after the there song. And christ almighty it's often 10 minutes an episode.

Analytic Engine posted:Why would you use Stitcher/etc for anything except the few premium-only shows? Stick with Pocket Casts or whatever is good on Android Because certain podcast networks like Earwolf pay the hosts and guests for every listen, even on old episodes. It does help listening to the backlogs, as far as I know. But The Dollop isn't on Stitcher.

I’m happy they get money for ads but I’m not going to listen to them and I doubt they get paid any less if I skip through them. If they actually get info from downcast I’d be surprised, especially if they can sort through all the skipping forwards and backwards I do. I was tempted to start recurring patron donations because I also like supporting creators I like, but lately between the cuts in episodes and Dave’s general bitchiness I just haven’t felt the need to go for it. Eh, maybe I’ll do the $1 a month.

I really wish stitcher worked better with Mental Illness Happy Hour because the archives are what I'd use it for the most.

They really need to do a dollop on podcast ads in the late 2000s so they can make comparisons to today's podcasts that still have ads.

What is it about this show that attracts internet pedants like no other? When this thread is not complaining about ads it's mostly going "I can't believe Dave does not know that there are molluscs that live on land!" or "Well actually, german nationalism predates the holy roman empire". This is basically a one-man improv show and somehow a significant part of the listenership has staked it as the hill they want to die on.

Turns out there are pedantic assholes everywhere. E: real answer: I think a lot of people can't make the distinction between "history podcast" and "podcast that riffs history". I'm sure they froth at the mouth every time Dan Carlin mispronounces something also. Elitist Bitch fucked around with this message at 02:03 on Jul 9, 2018 |

Dave's attitude invites a lot of it. Especially when he gets real smug over some incorrect conclusion he's made. Mind, that same attitude makes it pointless to actual try to correct or criticize him so the people actually reaching out on Twitter or whatever are nuts. As for this thread, anyone should be able to be positive or negative about it as they like as long as it doesn't get super weird? It's not like Dave posts here.

I don't care when Dave mispronounces things, but, it does strike me as odd just how much Dave doesn't bother to look up pronunciations.

Doesn't really matter and pronouncing things wrong might even add humour.

So I started listening to the podcast like a month ago so i'm picking and choosing ones that look interesting from what I do and don't know and I will say I think this podcast really does best explain the south and how the gently caress it's so the south. No sense of why California is the way it is though funnily enough. the 49ers were allllllllllll hosed up.

Really I want to know what the gently caress is the deal with penguins, and did they ever do a hat podcast? Also I think the winner for most mundane/insane one for me was the balloon fest it was just so on all levels.
