so not gonna happen

did not know about Nathan's tv adventures, thanks for the tip mh. Although I don't watch much TV except for sports.

Someone turn this into a Netflix series

still haven't gotten around to listening to this : /

neither have i tbh, but i have read this thread in its entirety probably 40 times

def worth a listen to hear the principals tell their story, podcast guy is kinda a dork/doesnt really understand the thread but but whatre u gonna do

sry podcast guy if youre reading this

we still they're you're ok, podcast dork

how on earth does a podcast "rerun"

how the hell did "think" turn into "they're"

I mean, you could ask how a television show could have reruns in the era of on-demand television but it's the same thing: a lot of people consume the media as a chronological, episodic thing. So anyone not digging through a podcast backlog and just listening to this week's from a feed will get the reruns

how on earth does a story "reprint"

imo it’s a reasonable question for digital media when scarcity is artificial and there’s no real difference quantitatively between grabbing this week’s episode and one from two years ago

The only one in my subscription that routinely does that is This American Life, but that's because it coincides with the NPR broadcast for a given week and they rerun old episodes sometimes. Reply All has been known to do it every once in a while too, but I think it's because their format is so single-serving. I mean, it would be weird if Five Thirty Eight had reruns, but it doesn't seem strange for Reply All to?

whenever someone who's been on WTF dies, everybody on the internet gets mailed a coupon for a single free day of Stitcher Premium

I hear quite a lot of podcast reruns on TAL and Planet Money. Sometimes it takes me a while to realise I've heard them before; sometimes I'm happy to be reminded.

the episode number is always a clear indicator in the TAL feed, and sometimes their "re-runs" are 60% new and updated material anyway

Oh yeah, I mean I almost always know they're reruns – I sometimes just don't know for a while whether they're reruns of episodes I've heard before or not.

I think the idea is that most people who listen to podcasts subscribe to them? So even if you don't have a new episode ready for this week you can dump an old one on the feed and get a certain number of downloads to justify your ad rates.

That's true to an extent, though there are a surprising number of podcast listeners who do not download or subscribe - they just Google and press "play" on the first page they get to

holy shit dudes i just randomly queued up a podcast to listen to before bed last night and it was this and i fucking D I E D

i had no idea this ever ran at the time

"kids on ilx" !!!

The rerun just came up in my podcast queue! Lolz, I had no idea about this thread. A very amusing crossing of streams.

Actually, looking at the photo again maybe I did see it before.

^ so didn't not happen

incredible

whoa

(great revive)

lol i directed a not-very-online friend at this entire story (thread and radioshow) a while back -- assuming she wd be amused, as she once had been by a tale of a stalker who became high-profile enough that they too ended up with a stalker -- but instead she was just hugely appalled and said we should all be very ashamed of ourselves

not-very-online friend otm tbf

if it’s any consolation to your friend, i’m rarely anything other than ashamed of myself

big love out to Wayne and Waynes Crew.

Right back atcha' boss

It takes a village

wayne's been doing cross fit!

I like to think we’ve all learned and grown from this experience. Love and solidarity to all on earth, whether it happens or not.

blessings to the whole wayne crew in this new year ❤️
