Wait what? Where are you guys getting ads in the middle of your podcasts? I download them direct at whmpodcast and they're always in the front and easy to skip.

I'm talking about other podcasts, not WHM. HDTGM is the worst offender since their shows are already short and content-lite.

If nothing else, the ads have brought us "Promo Code: HATE" which is always entertaining.

Yeah I can't shake the feeling that they're doing the HATE thing as a subtle gently caress-you to DraftKings. There's legitimate venom in their voices when they say it.

At the end of the day cracking jokes during the ads just makes them twice as long but I find it really hard to have feelings about something that can be skipped this easily. And as has ben said, at least they put them all at the start of the show. poo poo, even Tom Scharpling had to start talking about draftkings and vegas vacations and whatever else when he took his show off the radio. It's just the way it is now, although maybe in five years or so every podcast network will have gone the Howl way of "no ads for premium users, no archives for normal users".

LORD OF BUTT posted:They're familiar with Dragon Ball Z, and yet they haven't done the driver's license episode for Animation Damnation. This is a tragedy. Which episode could you pick though? There's either plot-related episodes where very little happens, or filler which doesn't really represent the show's normal content. So obviously, filler episode would be my choice. That or if they pull an episode deep from the Cell saga or something and see if they can figure out who/what an Android is. Animation Damnation is always a good time. I'd love for them to cover other western-bought japanese stuff. Like digimon, cardcaptors or whatever else was on Cheez TV. Have WHM ever actually covered a movie they love? It'd be interesting to see them discuss something positively. They've reviewed some movies I would call entertaining (Face/Off) but Jupin normally talks poo poo on everything.

At the end of the last episode of 99% Invisible they talked a bit about their ads and they said that mid-podcast ad breaks sell for more money, presumably because it's harder to skip them. Meanwhile they only have their ads at the end of the show precisely because that makes it easier for people who don't want to listen to them to skip them.

Bill Burr does the best ads because he's merciless about just making fun of the copy (And doesn't do the 'I totally use this product' thing). Anyway, despite not really liking FvJ this is the first episode in a long time that I just couldn't gel with. I think the movie's crimes aren't dumb enough to really make it stand out, and it has enough fun scenes to handwave a lot of dumbness (The first kill and the corn scene are worth watching it for). Saying that I only saw it twice and that's when it came out. I'd probably feel different about it now.

Sometimes I'm convinced that people in this thread are downloading podcasts from an alternate dimension. while interspersed within the episodes, HDTGM's ads are much shorter, don't overstay their welcome, and their episodes are about as long as WHM,and they talk about the movie more.

I'm okay with the presence of ads but I wish I didn't have to hear people I like and respect shilling for scummy stuff like Draft Kings and Uber. I get that it's out of their hands but it still sucks.

Huh, I went back and checked episode lengths and you're right! I could have sworn the episodes I listened to a year ago only contained like 30 minutes of actual content, i.e. on-topic comedy.

HDTGM talks about June Diane Raphael being a weirdo more than they ever talk about the movie. Also which character Raffi jerked off to.

On O&A, Kevin Smith couldn't stop talking about how the only thing he would do on his tour bus is smoke pot, write in an unconscious daze and gently caress his fleshlights.

But he'd be so high that he'd forget to clean them out and when he finally did, black stuff ran out I made it through like 4 SModcasts back in like 2007 until I reached an episode where Smith and Mosier talked about Helen Keller for 40 minutes without knowing literally anything about her, even what could easily have been gleaned by reading the top paragraph on her Wikipedia entry. Then I realized that he's a loving moron and stopped listening to anything he recorded (although I did check out the infamous Tusk episode after watching that film, which was worthwhile in that context). Speaking of which, WHM should do a Tusk episode. Listener request month!

Again, the whole "downloading from alternate dimensions" thing. Sure, they do those bits, but to claim they take up more time than movie-talk is flat-out wrong and actively disingenuous.

I think HDTGM works much better in the studio than the live episodes. They spend so much time playing to the audience during live shows that they barely cover things that happen in the movies or they get stuck on a tangent and beat it into the ground.

I stopped listening when they started doing almost exclusively live shows. Live podcasts are great for podcasters (because they make money) and the live audience (because they get a good show) but they are almost always dogshit for podcast listeners, and I'm not only talking about HDTGM.

I'd love to recommend a few more episodes of Captain Planet sometime to them. It's one I bring up a lot, but the India episode where a girl gets attacked by a dead cow in a river of poo poo, everyone gets horrible stomach virus infections, Wheeler the SMARTEST character of the team, and Cap solves pollution of the Ganges with the help of literal Hindu religious figures... It's a thing.

There's an episode of Captain Planet where some athlete gets HIV through a blood transfusion and the gang have to explain how HIV and AIDS are different. It was made when AIDS was still the gay cancer, so there's this undertone of homophobia and gay panic to the whole thing. Not to mention the whole "AIDS is terminal so your life is over" thing.

There's an episode where the Planeteers visit a virtual universe full of bizarre crossover animals, and get attacked by a goatbear. There's an episode where Looten Plunder uses a clone beam to get cheap child labor to build flamethrowers. There's an episode where Dr. Blight travels back in time to sell nukes to Hitler Captain Planet is a goddamn goldmine.

Patreon seems to be doing this to a few podcasts I follow. I actually unsubscribed from Rob Paulsen's voice-acting podcast because he started only releasing the first half hour of every episode and restricting the full thing to his Patreon donors; considering that the whole thing is ostensibly one giant ad for him and his friends and their voice-acting classes/current gigs/live appearances it's especially silly. I feel for people trying to monetize their content but the whole point of podcasts is that they're light disposable entertainment for when you're working or driving or playing a game that doesn't demand a lot of attention, the moment you start charging money for it you're going to lose almost all of your audience.

There's also an episode about a civilization of intelligent, 'evil(?) mice that destroy themselves due to overpopulation and the the good mouse decides to not let the Planeteers save him and his family because they probably deserve to die, too. I think the Planet Alert PSA from the end of the episode was literally telling children about sensibly engage in population control. Holy poo poo, if that was on the air today...

There's a whole wave of podcasters now who are able to make a living from their shows but they are the exception to the rule. For everyone else podcasts have traditionally functioned as extensions of the rest of their entertainment careers, hence the practice of plugging one's other projects and upcoming appearances at the end of every episode.
