Eltoasto posted:Look at this guy, thinks he's a journalist! It's a good article, agree with most of it. Really surprised by those ad numbers, especially since podcast advertisers seem to be a fairly small group. If ad revenue has gone up like that, then it must be effective for them. I hope the TV stuff ends up with a full fledged network just so Besser can have his own 30 minute show of him screaming at the Jets and Razorbacks. We've already had that meeting with Besser. He wants to add people from the Earwolf Forums to that list as well.

indigi posted:I guess Legendary buying Nerdist doesn't count? I didn't include Nerdist/Legendary there because they weren't really buying the podcasts. They were buying Chris, the Nerdist brand, the YouTube channel, etc. Chris and the Nerdist brand are so far ahead of us and most podcasters, it's not really the same thing. I thought about mentioning it, but I had already hit 1,200 words and I would have had to write too much to explain the difference so I left it out.

Deadpool posted:From what I've gathered from various comments the way it will work for the Earwolf content is that every Thursday there will be a stream that rotates Earwolf shows. That's probably a better idea than having a CBB every week. Though I wouldn't really complain about that either. The first one that just ended was pretty great. It's late here and I'm about to turn in, but here's what I can say: 1. We'll be doing one live show per week to start, Thursday's at 6pm PST and the shows will rotate, so it won't be any one show all the time. But which show it is will depend on scheduling and such. 2. It looks like a lot of the shows will be released later as regular eps. However, that may not always be true and will be up to the artists to decide on a case by case basis. 3. None will be for sale in our store. 4. The video archives will be available after the fact (some clips as well) on youtube.com/earwolf 5. VPN is not run by Carolla, he is one of the content partners. It is run by a different group, some of whom have worked with him in the past on Loveline and The Man Show. Does that cover it? Let me know if I missed a question, I'm about to pass out.

Groucho Marxist posted:Hi Jeff, Hollywood Handbook is the best show on Earwolf please be nice to it I just spent several hours of my Saturday afternoon on the show giving them a chance to make fun of me. Isn't that nice?!?!?! They really do cost us a lot of money with no hope of turning it around and we still do it, so that should say something. We're on our SECOND money losing show with those guys. I think we've proven our devotion. Thanks for listening.

SKYMALL SCRILLA posted:jeff ulrich now that you're posting here please never cancel hollywood handbook because it would break my heart to pizzas. thank you. There are no plans to cancel the show. Seriously. But I'm curious, if we lose $15,000/year doing the show (and our production expenses are not high), why should we keep doing it? Instead of, say, investing in another show with greater potential, using it for employee bonuses, etc. Or I could take some money for a change, I have a young daughter and living in LA is expensive. For that kind of money, I could send her to the best international school in the city. Or upgrade from my Hyundai to, well, most anything else (I would of course choose the school). Again, I love the show and don't have plans to cancel it, but your comment made me feel like it was fair for me to ask the question. There are real costs to real people to make these shows. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

SavoyTruffle posted:
This is by far the most compelling argument. Thanks for the (mostly) earnest responses. All good points. And as Conduit said, it's complicated. If we did cancel the show, we don't get our money back, we've already invested in the staff and studio to do it. It merely prevents us from adding a different show. I love the show, love the guys, and have no interest in canceling it. I just thought this was a good place to ask the question.

Will this new guy have that? Time will tell I suppose, and I doubt you would hand it off to someone who couldn't do it. Thanks. Scott is the best. New guy will be fine. We are so much more than Scott and I at this point, there is a lot more too it than that (which is part of where this comes from).

scary ghost dog posted:for one, I domt see this higher budget helping anyone. all I see is a cool underground hipster joint transforming into a fearsome corporate company, just like uhhh..... Gary Sinise in Snake Eyes Well, we now have benefits, which allows our studio manager Savannah to have a baby (according to her, not me), which I am really proud of. We have new studios with furniture that works, allowing everyone to both feel safe and be proud of their workplace (it was really bad for a long time). It allows us to fund things like the Andy Daly Pilot Project Podcast, which we didn't make any money on, because we think it needs to exist in this world. That is in addition to the well-documented investment we make in that terrible show that you all seem to love so much, Hollywood Handbook. And, it lets me move on to not killing myself with work, because I can afford to pay other people to help out. I understand the sentiment, I do. But we are not changing all the podcasts. We're not canceling anything. But you are right, it will continue to become more of a business, though not a corporation. I believe there is a difference and that we've been a business this whole time. Our budget was $1,700/month as recently as August 2011. I'm glad it isn't that way any more, those days sucked. And I'm proud of the business I've built. And it's not a fearsome corporate company. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, I appreciate it. I'm glad you care about Earwolf.

Apart from doing a fantastic job at Earwolf I'm really glad you took the time to reach out to us fans on a completely page outside of Earwolf (how did you come about finding us by the way?). It has been very meaningful to have shows like CBB and I4H to look forward to each week during a couple of years of ups and downs. I don't remember how I found you, I think someone told me maybe? This is a great group of real fans and I'm glad I did find you! Also thanks to Alikchi, Riptor and The Ape of Naples. I was afraid no one would care, I appreciate you going out of your way to say otherwise.

Devonaut posted:There's a new Wolf Den episode up, featuring Hot Saucerman himself: Hi everyone - I wanted to stop by and say thank you for everything. Over the past few years I've been able to come here and read how people really feel about what we do - what you like and don't like - and have been able to participate and engage when it made sense. You made me feel welcome and I appreciate that very much. I'm really excited for Earwolf's future, there is a ton of new stuff being worked on right now, and I'm sure I'll check back in later to see how you all feel about things. In the meantime, enjoy HH and I4H, go easy on Fogelnest and prepare for some changes. Adam and the rest of the team are hard at work right now to keep pushing the envelope on things. And in case anyone is wondering, I'm already bored as hell. Best, Jeff
