General Vibe Check (September)
Added 2023-09-07 17:34:28 +0000 UTCHey guys,
Just wanted to pop in and get a feel for what the general sentiment on the show is currently from the patrons. We're going to be trying some different things in the upcoming future most likely that we hope brings a bit of growth and energy back into the show that we know we've been lacking for a while now.
The first step of that was Podophiles. I wanted to branch out and try different concepts and that's not going to stop with Podophiles. I'm trialing a new concept with Charlie and potentially a special third person. No promise this will ever be released, but if it does, it'll be released here first.
Anyway, I just wanted to get a feel for what everyone is thinking of the show. We've been doing our best to get an episode and a piece of bonus content out every week for you and we've shifted to quicker releases thanks to our new editor (Zaya), so that new episodes don't already feel out of date when they've released.
I'm rambling. It's late in the morning for me. Just let me know what your thoughts are on the show and how we're doing at this point in time, especially in comparison to last year and earlier in the year.
Thanks and just know that we truly do appreciate everything you guys do for us. Showing up to live recordings, supporting us monthly -- it's all incredibly generous and it's really nice that we've got a home. I'll probably aim to do this once a month and will reply to messages below if anyone has any ideas, question or feedback!
Thanks,
Jackson
PS, Saten is a bozo

When do we get more podofiles? I love that shit and it seems like it shouldn’t be to hard to make. Would love if y’all could get it on Apple Podcasts tooo so I don’t have to switch over to Spotify for that

2023-09-20 15:52:45 +0000 UTCNot really an important point, but it's almost funny to see how out of touch they seem to be with the younger generation, which ofc isn't too surprising since most of them are pushing 30. The "all kids use discord now" comment from a few episodes back though is just laughable to me 😂

2023-09-15 03:24:06 +0000 UTCSafe to say most of the patreons here are big babies holy 😭😭 jackson having to do that “we hear u thread” is so unnecessary. Jackson is the youngest one of course hes gonna get teased more its been a thing on the show forever its not a bog deal
2023-09-14 04:55:39 +0000 UTCI'm sad to feel like the show is in a downward spiral. I think Jackson and Kaya carry it at this point and would love to see more of the duo beyond podophiles.

2023-09-13 21:51:11 +0000 UTCcoming from a long time listener i agree with how everybody else says that it seems like you guys are burnt out from the show. :[ it does feel like alot of group attacking jackson which i get is an ongoing joke but it drags on soooo much longer than needed alot. charlie def seems uninterested alot but it makes sense considering all the other things he has going on. maybe it’s because a lack of interesting things going on in the world or just overall different things going on in your lives, but it comes off like making episodes consistently is a chore. maybe also bringing on new guests to bring that different energy to the table so it’s not you guys struggling to find things to talk about. been waiting for the charlie’s dad cameo for awhile now lol

2023-09-13 13:57:06 +0000 UTCJoined patron just to say this, constantly shitting on Jackson for having an opinion is getting really old. Charlie doesn't talk unless it's to shit on someone. Andrew goes on about topics he's not very well versed on. Kaya sometimes gives shitty opinions but I'll give him props for being 1 out of the two who at least tries. Jackson seems like the only one left who enjoys doing this and gives it his all. Personally I don't know how much more of this I can listen to.

2023-09-13 02:38:05 +0000 UTCIt honestly feels like the show has devolved. Feels like all we get any more. Is Jackson trying to make a point and then gets gangbanged for 20 minutes for it. It’s really getting old.

2023-09-12 22:19:49 +0000 UTCThe constant talk about porn addiction has been really boring, sometimes borderline irritating *cough cough bonus-127* and you guys bring it up every other episode. I do agree porn is harmful to some degree but it just feels like I'm being preached to. Also it feels like you guys are kinda burnt out from the podcast, especially Charlie (but I get he's busy with others stuff), so if you guys need to take a break it's absolutely fine if you do. Thanks for reading if you did and good luck.

2023-09-12 02:19:29 +0000 UTCWhat we need is the yearly topic of Andrew being a middle aged man who is angry at every new Pokémon released every year

2023-09-11 23:12:32 +0000 UTCyeah to be fair they have been doing it for like 5 or 6 years lol

2023-09-11 16:50:00 +0000 UTCNo offence to the boys, but I can’t tell if they enjoy making the podcast anymore. And episode 352 was the first time in ages Charlie told a story and was actually front and centre for a topic
2023-09-11 01:35:22 +0000 UTCI would like less guest on episodes. Sometimes the episodes seem less fun when guest are because it's more of an interview than an interaction. For Podophiles, maybe don't read the whole chat log. Sometimes it gets drawn out and boring. Maybe just read the core area of the discussion. I tend to just zone out. Or if you do read the whole thing give more commentary.

2023-09-10 20:04:37 +0000 UTCI'd agree with everyone about Charlie but honestly I'm happy he lets you guys talk because when he does chime in he comes off a bit dickish. I think he has way too much shit going on and clearly seems bored most of the time or literally can't even attend for bonuses. I say this as someone who's been a fan of the show for years, and still watch Charlie's videos regularly. Idk how to change that but I wanna hear what's going on with the dude, I know so much about you three and barely anything about Charlie at this rate, and I love all of you guys and what you bring. Guests guests guests! Please for the love of god get some guests on dudes, you guys had so many great guests for years and honestly that's why I subscribed. Reach out to some people like OneyNG or Sumitomedia or Internet Historian or something. There's so many great YouTubers I've been expecting you guys to talk to again or finally talk to and you never do and it's so confusing to me. These guys are literally always doing stuff with other YouTubers too so there's no way they don't have time to talk to you gents.

2023-09-10 15:10:47 +0000 UTCCharlie not wanting to say anything that will get him canceled has become really obvious at this point that guy walks on egg shells on most topics nowadays

2023-09-10 14:48:30 +0000 UTCepisodes been great and the only critiques i have is that charlie really doesn't talk much and jacksons mic has the perfect blend of being fine to listen to and also shit at the same time but for some reason that gives a lot of soul to the episodes

2023-09-10 08:13:40 +0000 UTCAfter years of listening to the pod, I feel I'm a victim of stockholm syndrome. So I've never truly been disappointed with the content. But as of late I feel there has been a dramatic increase in quality in the episodes and I love it. What ever you guys are doing, keep doing it.

2023-09-10 06:36:45 +0000 UTCi like it how it is but i guess my favourite episodes are when you guys go on a long tangent about hypotheticals so could maybe do things like that more often
Jealous Lettuce
2023-09-09 19:24:26 +0000 UTCTell Charlie that he should talk more. He says like 1 sentence every 20 minutes sometimes lol. It feels like he’s the only one who doesn’t really want to be there but all in all I still listen and love every episode and everyone on the podcast <3

2023-09-09 15:25:44 +0000 UTCI love listening to the show and how comfortable you all are with each other. It always comes through how long y’all’ve been friends. Always look forward to it, but I don’t end up getting all the way through several episodes here & there. I think it could bring a little more energy to have more guests, or add little themes to some episodes (would you rathers, etc.). Basically, would love to see more group activities rather than just current events. 🌸🤟🏼🍄Peace & Love🍄✌🏼🌸

2023-09-08 14:13:36 +0000 UTCI personally like where the podcast is heading you guys are pretty consistent and upload regularly I listen to a lot of podcasts while I’m at work and this is definitely one of if not the best ones I listen too. Now with that being said there are some things that can be improved upon i fee like there a lot of repeat topics and that can be kind of annoying but it’s pretty common among most podcasts so all in all 9/10 Jackson best part of podcast and get rid of Charlie tbh 🗿

2023-09-07 22:01:03 +0000 UTCI still love the show. I've been listening for about two years now and have been a patron member for maybe a year and I feel like my money is well spent. I enjoy listening to whatever you guys want to talk about, however you want to talk about it. I'd encourage you all to pursue whatever projects you're passionate about, and try new things that you want to. But only if you want to. When you are all being genuine and enjoying yourselves, the audience enjoys themselves. At least that's how I feel. Thank you for all the content and help through the long days at work. Take care guys!
2023-09-07 21:58:58 +0000 UTCappreciate the new editor and more episodes coming out on time. agree it's gotten a bit stale, repetitive in a bad way. maybe being back segments like Kaya tried a hundred some episodes. everyone has their own so there's more participation.
David M
2023-09-07 19:04:37 +0000 UTCThe last month or so has been a huge improvement imo. It was getting kinda stale but the last 10 episodes have been a lot better. I also love Podophiles (my phone keeps trying to change that word to something else...). You and kaya have a great dynamic and you two are my favorite hosts so it's great. Also really happy about the recent on time releases. I cancelled my patreon a while back because we were getting like 1 bonus a month and episodes would be 2 or 3 days late everytime but since I resubbed I noticed the episodes are much more consistent. All around I'm happy with the show and excited for the new content
