It's kind of like what they did a year ago when they added Shots Fired (rap), Startup School (start-ups), ShortWave Radio (music interviews) and other non-comedy podcasts that eventually died or moved to another network. But it definitely looks a lot more profesh. First big move of the Adam Sachs regime.

That was over two years ago, times flies. Yes, similar, but definitely more focused and with a more consistent aesthetic. We are better prepared to execute on this properly, versus what happened a few years ago.

Definitely a big move by Adam! He, Gourley and Scheer recorded a special ep of The Wolf Den today and it's being released in about a half hour. Explains the whole thing. Best episode of TWD, ever, IMHO. I'll post a link later.

Adam, if there ever was a time to return and answer some questions, today is the day. Not like you're super busy or anything doubling your business.

Splitsider said Paul Scheer is running this new offshoot. I'm curious if he now owns some of the company. He has enough money from being on successful sitcoms, creating his own shows, numerous acting gigs, and June's own very successful career in acting and selling shows to buy a stake.

Since Adam is sleeping after his all-nighter, I'll help. Paul is curating, rather than running, Wolfpop. Adam and the rest of the team are running all the operations and Paul is leading the creative charge with Gourley as the developer and Adam also part of the creative team.

I won't discuss Paul's compensation, that's his business to share or not, but I will say that he has not bought a stake in the company. We haven't sold any shares since starting the company.

Very excited about Wolfpop. I'd never heard of Happy Sad Confused or its host before, but its list of previous guests is ridiculously good. Woody Allen!

Thanks for being excited! And yes, Woody Allen!

Holy poo poo, I am really loving blown away by the Wolfpop launch. There are at least 3 podcasts that are automatic subscriptions for me even before listening to the first episode (and even now that I've listened to the first episodes, I'm affirmed in my convictions) and I don't think there's a podcast they're launching that I'm not going to at least give a chance. Great job to the Earwolf empire and Paul Scheer for making this happen.

Maltin on Movies is my favorite right off the bat and holy poo poo am I going to enjoy this podcast.

This makes me very happy. Thanks for sharing. I'm listening to Maltin right now for the first time! I'm now on my 5th Wolfpop show of the day...
