Callsheet’s first week, why Apple might (or might not) want to buy Disney, and the state of the podcast-ad market.

Accidental Tech Podcast: 548: Starting to Count Chickens

Three nerds discussing tech, Apple, programming, and loosely related matters.

@atpfm E1-now episode completionist: no ads has never really been a good selling point for membership as the ads were not only usually not bad, but often actually interesting. I became a member fairly late because feelings mostly, but the straw was member specials. @caseyliss adding the Callsheet beta was where I really felt like I was getting my money's worth. I'd think a lot about member-only content, and discount codes for members (make the math work) for Overcast, Callsheet, F&C/SG
@atpfm @caseyliss this is, of course, assuming this is even possible in the App Store.
@atpfm @caseyliss Oh, and I'm with Casey on (at least for now!) not putting the aftershow behind membership because of precedent. That said, I'm guessing a fair amount of the audience would understand if you said "the whole show is now ad-free, but the aftershow is members only."
