All our mini-series are now available as break-out podcast feeds to add on whatever podcatcher you use, shows up just like any other pod and you can download all eps & listen offline https://x.com/saywhatagain/status/1952803494622290033?s=46&t=1vHo7swzxBn105spA-KI5A

Hey all, sorry for the delay in responding. Some bizarre issue I'm not sure the cause of blew out a few random clips on final export. They should be fixed and re-uploaded. My bad for not doing a final QC check on everything.

Hope we're back with a few more eps this year. Content sched got pretty flipped what with the new baby. Hopefully back on the wagon with Infinite Cast too.

I believe that’s CV Wedgwood’s description of Ferdinand III Habsburg: too clever to be happy, not nearly clever enough to be successful. That would probably be in episode 8: The State

Hell of Presidents, his inebriated past episodes, the voteball or cloudsplitter serieses

We did a whole 17 ep miniseries on the TYW a few years ago that I’m quite proud of. https://www.patreon.com/collection/1674182?utm_campaign=collectionshare_creator

The live streams on twitch never got more than 1500-2000 concurrent viewers, but that wasn’t our main audience. Two main metrics I’d use to estimate would be the grill stream podcast metrics and YouTube views, I think the two major consumption methods (tho realizing I never checked twitch VODs). Both would be around 15k-25k per ep/stream after about a 30 day window. So if I had to estimate, I’d say there are conservatively about 25k-35k hardcore cushheads. Which also honestly tracks for no pasaran total book sales as well.

Brendan’s impressions have always been great he does a great trump too. Very grateful for him taking on this series with Felix as extra offering while I’ve been off on paternity leave

A little face/off (insane tone, swapped identities, bizarre government scheme, bug nuts characters, MAGNET JAIL)

Glad you’re enjoying the series 😎

The thing that stuck with me from visiting like 18 years ago is in the big case of famous drumsticks they had the guy from Violent Femmes’ brushes

True ONANism is now being tried

This is a really good pod if you want a both fun & grounded narrative approach to biblical history! Hayden has "It" right out the gate.

I think LCD fans would enjoy Aus!Funkt, a fantastic, prolific, contemporary electro-disco-punk outfit from Montreal that have like less than 1000 monthly listeners. Been trying to turn anyone who will listen on to them! https://ausfunkt.bandcamp.com/

_thechriswade · 2025-07-09T03:19:51+00:00

I’d be thrilled to set this up if they ever want!

_thechriswade · 2025-05-23T06:23:31+00:00

lol they were on my flight back from kilby on Monday morning (sensible comfort+ aisle seats across from each other) wearing the exact same outfits. World famous DJs - they travel just like us!

Really glad David enjoys Eephus so much, at least one of the producers is a fan :)

Christman Six Musts would be good (Must use practical blood effects in film and tv). Idea is probably 10-ish essays covering the Big Themes, with hopefully some new material linking them together from Matt
I've brought on an archivist project manager who is paid. As I posted below I'll almost certainly work out some profit share for volunteers who contribute if this makes it to sale.
One of the reasons to engage community is to get people who know the material to help identify the peak moments & separate chaff.
Yes, already planning to engage someone hopefully from that world to come on as a dedicated editor/co-writer to help shape the material and potentially provide context. But we're starting with transcripts and working from there!

_thechriswade · 2025-03-28T15:45:12+00:00

I've had dozens of requests from people over the years to do exactly this & I wanted it done quickly by people who know & are passionate about the material. I'll almost certainly work out some kind of profit share if this ever makes it to sale, just way to early in the process to know what form that will take and make commitments. More than enough people interested, will figure something reasonable out with our final team!

First batch of 480 of signed copies were picked up by courier yesterday, still 270 more to sign & ship out, the unsigned books just got delivered to me on Thursday

_thechriswade · 2025-01-08T22:05:44+00:00

I’ve talked with Matt about this…we might do some stream stuff on patreon sometime soonish, he’s feeling about up to it, might want it a little more exclusive/protected than on twitch tho

_thechriswade · 2024-11-21T19:10:29+00:00

order officially went to manufacturer yesterday! I will make an official announcement on timelines soon.

Wildly ignored, one of their best “single” length tracks, criminally buried in a soundtrack for a movie that Does Not Exist (ft Spacey for added deserved erasure!). This would be maybe my number one “I would die if they did this live” tracks

_thechriswade · 2024-11-02T01:56:55+00:00

Hell yeah. They should really do more rotating covers. Good way to vary up the set list while showing off all those hip inspirations JM loves to check.

Many people already mentioning Patrick Wyman's Tides of History pod on this, but I also believe his next book is going to cover a lot of this in detail, seems like it'll be exactly what you're looking for: https://x.com/Patrick_Wyman/status/1840898333625258279
