I like the Get Played "rebrand" which I think is mostly to stop Reddit nerds from yelling at them. The hosts are great but how much can you say a video game sucks rear end?

Or sit in an awkward puddle for an hour when their native american guest points out that it's kind of messed up they invited them to help review notorious porn game Custer's Revenge.

(To be clear, love that podcast and still think it was hella brave of em' to release that in full.)

I do also sincerely appreciate that episode. I don't think I've ever heard established people in any industry eat absolute poo poo and release it on purpose.

I'm still just on Flagrant Ones, Actionboyz, and We Hate Movies, and I guess Wrestling Observer/F4W for non-comedy based podcasts I pay for, and I don't think I could really justify getting another else (and making sure my stitcher subscription didn't auto-renew) because I have a huge backlog on all of it.

Man, I've been subscribed to the Observer for so long i don't ever think about the money, it's basically like taxes out of my paycheck at this point.

I can also justify my Actionboyz sub because in addition to the podcasts, they also give me homework in the form of watching five movies a month i most likely would never watch on my own and sometimes even books.

She has such an energy in her appearance that Big Grande can barely get a word in edgewise, it's phenomenal. On par with Ego or Fran Gillespie's episodes.

It's amazing how long she sustains that energy for and how coherent all of the details are. Just incredible stuff.

For Patreon I only have two - Your Kickstarter Sucks and Doughboys - and then I do the "rotate it out" thing for a couple of others but in any systematic way, just when I haven't heard them for a while and want to catch up.

I do feel a little bad for doing it that way but I trust the hosts understand that most people can't commit to, like, six or ten or more patreon subscriptions at once for the podcasts they like.

I did a quick scan of my subscriptions, and if I wanted to support all it would be, in no order:

CBB World
Doughboys
Your Kickstarter Sucks
The Dollop
Stitcher Premium
Wondery
Hello from the Magic Tavern
Never Not Funny

Now I list them out I feel a bit worse because it doesn't seem that many - but I can't _really_ justify $40 a month on podcasts at the moment. (Edit: figuring at $5 per thing)

I refreshed one of the Stitcher Premium feeds in my podcast app out of habit the other day and...it loaded. And I could download new episodes. Double-checked my credit card bill and yes, the refund had gone through.

So they charged me for it without warning or authorization, I got it cancelled, and I can still access the content.

Looking forward to repeating this little dance next December.

I haven't cancelled but two years in a row they've double charged me but after I emailed them they refunded both charges. So I've effectively had it two years free without cancelling.

I was off for a bit and didn't have access to the poo poo I liked. resubbed and got stuff back, mostly tho premium only lets me listen to the Magic Tavern sideshows and a couple shows. I jump between stitcher and google for different stuff though. i'd love to trick it into me not giving them 6 bucks a month tho, google hiccups sometimes like my texting app I've had premium features for 4 years after cancelling payment.
