Bullseye's Jesse Thorn on Surviving in the Podcasting Industry

Eliza Skinner is correct. Slippery When Wet is a wall to wall banger Rock'n'Roll album. Love or hate the sound, but it is THAT to perfection 🤘

I'll admit it, I listen to a lot of podcasts.

As a business landscape, podcasting (like all media landscapes, I suppose), is a bleak and hateful attention economy devaluing creators and busy hoisting itself on its own advertising petard.

BUT! there are bright spots, one being the #MaximumFun network, a worker-owned, listener supported co-op encompassing a lot of very good artist owned podcasts.

They are in their annual fund drive now, check them out: https://maximumfun.org #MaxFunDrive

Listening to 'Secret Histories of Nerd Mysteries' new episode is great and interesting on the origins of comic conventions.

Origin of the Comic Convention | Maximum Fun

Nowadays, comic conventions happen all over the United States, and the world, in many major cities, with the most well known being San Diego Comic Con, in San Diego California. Many people assume that…

I haven't been keeping up in more recent years, so I just found out that one of my favorite podcasts ended a few weeks back. ​ Apparently Oh No, Ross and Carrie! did their farewell episode on the 13th. I guess it was for mental health reasons which, like, heck yeah you take care of that mental health 

But still. Maybe it's because I'm starting to get sick and therefore kinda emotional, but it's big sad. ​ With the show going for 13 years it's weird to not have it as a constant in my life anymore.

Thank you @shydog for showing it to me heckin' forever ago. ​ It has brought me lots of joy over the years.

I'm going to listen to it all (420 episodes) again. It's the only remedy for this feeling. Ross said that's a solid 22 days.

The decision to stop after 420 episodes and 69 guests is actually pretty understandable, and nicely done 😁 /jk

I'm really quite bummed out about the #OhNoRossAndCarrie #podcast coming to an end. One of my all time favourite podcasts.

The back catalogue is well worth a listen if you haven't heard it.

I finished my rewatch of the BSG miniseries this morning prep for today's @GreatestTrek pod. I remembered that I loved the ending but seeing it again, just, wow, what a great ending. Zero chance it would not make it into series production from how well they pulled off that miniseries. So Say We All. #GreatestGen #StarTrek #GreatestTrek #MaxFun #MaximumFun #Podcasts #FriendsOfDesoto #Fod #Comedy #SciFi #ScienceFiction #Podcast #BattlestarGalactica

It's the second week of the Maximum Fun podcast fund drive and their are perks for supporting the shows! Max Fun is now a worker co-op which just makes it all the better.
