so glad we could turn the thread about the funny podcast with the sex jokes and the yelling at bad articles into a secondhand dissection of the organizing capacity of bernie supporters based on how somebody pronounces the word august.

Is there a site that measures or tracks various Patreon accounts? I'm curious what their subscription levels have been over the past 6+ months. They've had an increase of a grand in the last week alone

Has anyone listened to Cum Town? Seems to be a sister podcast of sorts but I can't figure out from the descriptions what it even is.
― Kiarostami bag (milo z), Monday, 9 January 2017 21:26 (seven years ago) link
I've listened to a few episodes. They & the chapo guys are mutual fans and the chapo guys have guested on it a few times. not even really remotely similar as far as content, it's just a few comics who are like NY twitter dudes making jokes about jerking off, and how brandon wardell sucks. best part is that they use the home improvement theme song as their theme song. gonna unsubscribe.
― why ruin a good tradition? (Will M.), Monday, 9 January 2017 21:33 (seven years ago) link
Yeah, Cum Town is recorded in Felix & Amber's apartment, since Nick is their roommate(and why Nick shows up on Chapo from time to time). Amber's cats show up on both shows, and Brendon(who produces both)'s twitter feed.
Yeah, the only connection between the shows is social, although I do remember the immediate election aftermath eps of each had CT talking about policy/campaign failures and and CTH being more emotional & personals, like they had switched topics for a day.
― THE SKURJ OF FAKE NEWS. (kingfish), Monday, 9 January 2017 22:33 (seven years ago) link
did they want to be less serious than chapo and were like uhh our side of the apartment is cum town and such is our podcast

it is def weird that they're going to make around 400 grand a year of almost pure profit from this show and still don't rent a recording studio or anything.
― slam dunk, Tuesday, 10 January 2017 04:55 (seven years ago) link
if you can make that much without a studio are you really going to make that much more with, and if so, won't someone be renting it for you
― mh 😏, Tuesday, 10 January 2017 04:57 (seven years ago) link
yeah they don't necessarily need a studio to sound better or avoid a cat fucking up half their mics. just more experience like four SM7's or something. pocket that shit

I prefer my podcasts to get by on a shoestring budget no matter how much the donors are kicking in, like the Trump campaign
― duped and used by my worst Miss U (President Keyes), Tuesday, 10 January 2017 13:45 (seven years ago) link
I DMed Brendan about it, who said he's recording the show straight into his laptop, which explains that. I wish people would stop relying on computers to record this stuff, the failure rate never helps.
I suggested using a separate digital recorder, like a Zoom H4N or an R16 so he can record channel-specific sound files for up to 8 mics
― THE SKURJ OF FAKE NEWS. (kingfish), Tuesday, 10 January 2017 19:32 (seven years ago) link
Listened to the ep and yeah it was pretty annoying. I don't need them to go to a studio, I enjoy the home-recorded vibe, I just want to be able to hear everyone and not have half-interviews lost.

At the amount they're grossing it's absurd.
tbh they should be paying someone for that advice

True, but they're not professional broadcasters, and I'm guessing none of them did college radio to learn the (sorta?) basics
