Herring interviewed The Goodies at the Slapstick Festival and it'll be released as a podcast.

It's not like Rich to release everything he does in podcast form.

Well to be fair to herring, he doesn't hide it behind a paywall, or patreon or stitcher premium, like some cunts.

He does offer extras to people who pay monthly, which is essentially the same as what most of the Patreon-supported podcasts do.

Yeah these cunts with their cunty children to 'feed' and mortgages to 'pay'. Cunt them in their greedy cunt cunts.

As much as I love podcasts, I can't really justify paying for them. I appreciate that people put a lot of work into their editing and recording, and in some cases, sourcing celebrity guests and such.

I do make the effort to buy tickets and see any live versions of these shows, if I can.

I guess I can live with myself, especially when it comes podcasts that have sponsorship(s) and pimp products in the show (or have external ads inserted into the show, like on Acast).

The Patreon thing is fine and dandy too: Give bonus incentives to people who pay. Although I also like Blindboy's "honour system" approach: You don't have to pay, but if you can, that'd be nice.

I guess there is so much to choose from that it's hard to value some of these podcasts. I have pretty much zero interest in the BBC stuff, I hate the "packaging" of those sorts of shows, so I don't feel I'm ripping anyone off by being a podcast freeloader. And also, I like the idea that a podcast is more like a chat between a couple of people, so it feels odd to put a monetary value on that.

I'm typing all this and can't help the niggling part of me, going, "listen to yourself, you fucking podcast thieving, artist undervaluing hypocrite cunt!!!" Doubly scathing because I'm sort of a freelance "artist" myself. ....

Gah....

Just make good stuff and if I can contribute to your output in a way that feels right, I  will.

I mean, I bought TWO Herring DVDs for fuck sake!!

No, he offers badges and other tat which most grown adults don't actually want.

Matt Forde, fucking hell, it'll be a smug fest of the Owen Smith supporters slapping each other on the back that they are so clever.

I might have to unsubscribe, don't care who else might one day come along.

I'm reading Herring's memoir 'How Not to Grow Up'. I'll let you know if it's any good.

I've never understood why the business model for podcasts has always been this 'pay if you want' caper. If I really enjoy something in my lugholes, I am quite prepared to stump up a few quid for each episode at the very least. The sense of entitlement now regarding entertainment is quite baffling. And that's coming from me who was killing music with home taping back in the day all those years ago.

It isn't. He and Andrew Collins made fun of me in front of a roomful of sycophants for daring to leave it a negative review on Amazon, who were sending out free copies instead of hoping it would sell well.

Still like Rich but Collins is a fucking loser.

DrGreggles

It's mainly filled with the same stories he's told plenty of times on his podcast(s).

The audience for most podcasts would dwindle if people had to pay a few quid per episode, not because they are stingy cunts but because not everyone has that kind of disposable income.  At the very least such a model would cut off a potential audience developing for podcasters who are not already established.

Did you honestly never experience radio or television as a kid that didn't charge per hour?  It's really not such an odd or modern expectation.

But you paid a tv license and had to endure adverts but I see what you're saying. Are people really that skint that they can't stump up even a £1 for a podcast?

I've absolutely been that skint. No longer (thank fuck), but I remember living on £0 a week for a few months while working a full time job. It was... quite difficult.

I'm happy to support podcasts I like through Patreon etc. I think that seems to be the way to go rather than charging for each episode because while it's not great for the creators the sheer amount of podcasts out there make it a buyer's market and people with a profile are going to have such a leg up on others that the only way to build an audience for most podcasts is to put them out there for free and hope to build enough of a fanbase to then ask for Patreon support, the way something like Chart Music did.

Point well made. I was thinking of CM too. I guess I would be paying up to £10 a month on all the podacsts I listen to. Never thought of it like that.

It's why I tip well, lend/give money to people with no expectations of getting it back, and pay for things like podcasts and albums - I remember how shit and horrible and stressful being completely broke was, and I know the value of an extra quid to someone who is hard-up and I'm in a position to give it now so I always do.

You know people do advertise in podcasts yeah? Herring has plugged those beer people and his own emergency questions.

Of course, that's why podcast players have buttons to skip forwards 30 seconds.

I picked this up in a second hand book shop recently. Thought he made for a better writer than a stand-up, although he turns sappy towards the end. Also he's very blase about deliberately setting out to steal his missus from her previous long-term boyfriend, which seemed pretty cunty to me, even if he did end up marrying her.

It's been a few years since I read it, but that has stayed with me. The way Herring belittled the boyfriend seemed pointlessly unpleasant.

Didn't know that. Pretty shitty. He never brought that up on his podcasts!

Haven't heard it yet, but I hope Terry is in full-on grumpy mode.

Afraid not, he's in a very chatty and amiable mood, I'm not an enormous fan of his music but it was an interesting listen.

PaulTMA

Quite a bombshell from Terry Hall dropped in the podcast.  Has he talked about the abduction publicly before this?
