there are plenty of things to get on bill about, but it's pretty darn impressive what he's built from scratch in barely five years.

can someone briefly explain how podcasts make money (i really have no idea). are people paying to subscribe?
― mookieproof, Saturday, 18 January 2020 03:35 (four years ago) link
in-pod ads are v common
― Clay, Saturday, 18 January 2020 03:38 (four years ago) link
ok, thanks
lol advertisers
― mookieproof, Saturday, 18 January 2020 03:40 (four years ago) link
squarespace, stamps dot com, and leesa mattress. Most have also begun to ask siri or google questions during the cast in the form of a really shit disguised ad.

i was stunned when i looked into pod advertising rates; given the low overhead you can make a *lot* of money if you have the audience

if i listened to podcasts, or honestly deeply cared about the NBA, i would absolutely pay like a dollar a month to hear lag∞n and k3vin talk about hoops -- except that i get a dollar back every time the celtics are mentioned

ESPN could not have possibly dropped the ball any worse on this. They should’ve dominated the entire podcast market.
Also: RIP to anybody at the Ringer who doesn’t do podcasts.

01, 99, 98... they're all p good tbh. would maybe just pick based on guests.

96 one was fun

okay, the podcasts are pretty good. lol, occasionally you can tell they're just sitting in front of their computers with basketball-reference open b/c they'll quote a partial season stat as if it were actually for the whole season.
i went back and read the michael lewis "no-stats all-star" shane battier article that i think i missed the first time around b/c he mentioned it in the 2001 podcast with lowe. nice little blast from the past, even had hinkie in it when he was still working for the rockets.
― circles, Monday, 13 April 2020 01:37 (four years ago) link
it's basically just let's remember some guys for the nba in podcast form and honestly i couldn't ask for anything better.
― call all destroyer, Monday, 13 April 2020 02:15 (four years ago) link
ok, so i was watching the 2004 redraftable and two things:
1. Bill picked Anderson Varejao ahead of JR Smith, which is ridiculous. He acknowledged the mistake within minutes, but still.
2. I was reminded of ill-fated SuperSonics pick Robert Swift, which led me to google him to remind myself what he looks like, which led me to this pic:
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/70/Robert_Swift.jpg
And now I need to know who the other guy (#43) is in the pic. I recognize him, but can't place the name.
I didn't know where else to go for help...

he's extremely condescending. idk. someone also needs to tell him that hiring famous celebrities to do podcasts does not address structural issues raised by your employees.
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 23 June 2020 02:33 (three years ago) link
Varejao over JR is totally fine! If you were gonna pick a dumb simmons draft thing that would be really low on the list
