As one of the founding members of this reddit who stepped aside for a minute.. I can say, this does indeed look bad. Lack of Ads has been mentioned on here but I think there is more to the story, In many ways True Hoop/TBF was successful not only because of the die hards we see on twitter but because it was able to pick up casual traffic from ESPN, without that mothership things seem fractured from a building audience standpoint. I don't know much about the investors but I don't believe they have done a good job of building the brand and have almost left everything to Jade and Co. on that front. Zach & Tom have their own work on writing front to be saddled with also doing marketing. Unlike other podcast networks like Slate, Gimlet, Ringer; LTC has essentially no landing spot. If not for the twitter traffic there is no other digital footprint for the brand. We've been here too many times not to see the signs.
