I signed up for Stitcher Premium due to the Labor Day deal. Jesus Christ, this service sucks. The app is functionally terrible, catalog navigation is unwieldy and stuff that I can find on the app (First half off Superego S3) isn't on the website. What a mess.

I'm guessing there's no way to download and keep the stuff, is there?

Rss and 3rd party podcast addict app is my solution to this.

I really didn't think it would be so bad because goons are notorious for over exaggerating UI concerns...but if anything it's even worse than they've described.

If you're going to put your content behind a paywall you better be drat sure people can consume it as easily as they did when it was free. You can't charge people and make it worse. I'm not bothering with stitcher since the howl app was so bad and never improved, they lost me because of that.

IIRC legend is their friendship soured after some pilot they were working on together imploded.

e: did some sluething, this is the only time I've ever seen Tom mention it https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/3gr6ba/we_are_tom_scharpling_and_jon_wurster_from/cu0qzxw/

The pilot was Evil Genius. Comedy Central passed on it before they filmed anything. Tom had an AMA post that basically said that they went their separate ways afterwards and for people to stop asking either of them about it.

They both seem to have the tendency of holding onto weird grudges. It’s just odd that neither person has taken a direct shot at the other over the course of several years in their small corner of the entertainment world. I’ve always hoped they were doing a dumb bit like Tom’s mini-Heidecker fueds, but that is pretty unlikely at this point.

Edit:

I had no idea anybody would ask about this. Just kidding.

I’m not gonna give specifics on anything between me and PFT because that’s our business but trust me, it’s SO much less interesting than you could ever imagine. Just real life stuff that happens in real life.

People occasionally stop talking to each other. It happens. I would be shocked if anybody reading this didn’t have anyone in their life that they’re currently not talking to for whatever reason.

I will say that Paul is and will always be one of the funniest people I have ever seen, both as a fan and as a guest on the show, and he’s a seriously decent and good guy. I want nothing but the best for him in every way, and I’ll always be grateful for the laffs that we made together.

And PLEASE leave him alone about this stuff. And while you’re at it, leave me alone about it too! You got your answer, you vultures!

At least that feud gave us (or maybe just me) the memory of reading on here someone recounting the feud including "even their wives unfollowed each other" in the retelling.

I remember reading speculation years ago that there was either infidelity (worst case scenario) or someone may have said something negative about the other’s wife after the pilot fell apart.

Seems unlikely after Scharpling made that semi-positive public comment, but they are both incredibly protective of their wives. If the bad blood included Terre T or Janie in any way, they will probably never talk to each other again.

Speaking of Tom stuff that isn’t a total bummer, my favorite live-action thing he did was for the Postal Service’s ten year anniversary rerelease of Give Up.

The bit is that several other people auditioned for a spot in the band before Ben Gibbard. There are a bunch of guest stars that give little glimpses of how a bizarro-world version of the band would have turned out.

Thanks for this. And yeah, as lousy as Stitcher is Teacher's Lounge is so drat good it makes it all worth it. Only up to episode three but it is relentless. Highlight so far is the story of Todd getting roasted as the basketball game halftime show.

The MaxFun defector Colin announced that this week’s HH will be released later than normal for some undisclosed reason. He said it should be up by around 1pm Eastern time.

Edit: It’s up.

Edit 2: It was a pretty boring episode to me. there were a couple of decent bit in the last half, but overall one of my least favorite episodes of the show.

Maybe, but I feel like it would disrupt the constant awkward pauses after Armen says something that Besser doesn't like.

I sort of think the Armen/Besser dynamic works better one on one because Besser isn't ignoring the other people to poo poo on Armen.

Unofficial Stitcher RSS is kind of weird for me, last night I couldn't access any of The Teacher's Lounge but could get Wild Horses: The Perspective no problem. Today it all works fine. I just checked and I am seeing the newest CBB and HH episodes in my feed...I'd chalk it up to the "Unofficial" part and try again later.

Also, my God, Teacher's Lounge. Go get Stitcher Premium and get on this if you haven't (Make sure you sign up for the "Bad Deal.") I didn't believe the hype every time it was mentioned in the thread previously, but it lives up to and exceeds it. I can't believe they haven't promoted it or made mention of the new season starting on any mainline Earwolf show lately.
