1/2/2018

We're back and up to '18 now!

Happy New Year, everyone! This week, we talk about how famous our friend Bobby Burns is now, the basics of podcasting, and the correct spelling of "How..?" (It's complicated).

For those of you showing up and expecting the 200th Episode of the Inner Tube to have been released today, Josh and Kevin pushed the release of the Tube Hundredth Episode tube weeks from January 2b up to January 16 now.

IF YOU WANT INFORMATION ON INEXPENSIVE PODCAST HOSTING, READ THE COMMENT SECTION FOR INNER TUBE EPISODE 165.

I appreciated Josh and Kevin explaining a definition to a significant Innerside joke before my list of key Innerside joke definitions was published. I'm guessing that Josh and Kevin may want to go over every joke in my list and explain all of them in Episode 199 so that I can Taylor (get it?) the definitions more to their liking rather than to my impressions. Then the list can be adjusted and finalized in time to post before for the influx of unique listeners who gather their first impressions of the show from Episode 200.

I think that a "Possibly Bobby Burns Returns" episode of the Inner Tube is either never going to happen or will happen before the end of the month, based upon the way that Josh and Kevin talked about the former Robert Fire in this episode.

Did you know that there are 13 Donkey Ollie Episodes that have been made to date? SGK reviewed one in 2016 and three in 2017. At this rate, expect either five, seven, three, one, or zero new SGK videos on the series in 2018. (Fun fact: 5+7+3+1+0=up to 16 now)

I'm sure Corban will delete the actual spam comment above, so I'll re-post what the spam comment said because I thought it was funny:

"Happy new year to you too, It is just so entertaining to see a podcast like Bobby Burns, I might be doing a few dissertation help online and look for myself about getting into podcasting, It might be a huge opportunity with the audio shared above"

Normally spammers don't post comments three days from an episode's release because posting so quickly increases the likelihood of them being spotted by an administrator and taken down. I guess we need slightly more active comment sections to dissuade spammers from posting, as they seem to like "inactive" comment sections.

Maybe this is why Adler's #GetAdlerTo10k campaign didn't succeed in 2017; he didn't find enough inactive comment sections to promote his channel in. I mean, if it works for spammers, it should work for content creators too, right? (Fun fact: as of the time of this post, Adler's Patreon is generating up to $16 now per month.)

For those of you who don't know who Bobby Burns is in relation to the Inner Tube, I've composed the following verses to explain it (a parody of "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer"):

You know Gyler and Taylor and Miller and Langston
Howard and Waring and Ahern and Martin
But do you recall
The most famous guest host of all?

The "Possibly Bobby Burns"
Also known as "Robert Fire"
Guest-hosted the Inner Tube
For nineteen shows that transpired

His brother Nathan also
Appeared on two episodes
And Bobby helped discover
Future guest Couch Tomato

Then one Brother Brother Time
Bobby came to say:
“Guys, my future is so bright;
I’m leaving for New York tonight”

Then Joshua and Kevin
Gasped and shouted out “Don’t leave!”
But Bobby left anyway…
And the rest is history!

For Seth's question:

If you absolutely must spend no money on podcast hosting, there is a slightly more involved way to do it for free.

First, you need to host the files somewhere. Archive.org will let you do that for free, though be warned that uploads there are more-or-less permanent.

You can then make an RSS feed (see footnotes [1] and [2]), and upload it somewhere. Make sure you use the direct URL to the MP3 from Archive.org, not just a link to the page. Several places will let you host, such as GitHub.com. Sign up for an account, then in the menu select to make a new "repository". Name it "<yourusername>.github.io". It will ask if you want to "initialize the repository", just choose yes.

At that point, you should have an option to "create a file". Call it something like "rss.xml" or "podcast.rss". It doesn't matter much. Paste the content of the RSS feed there and choose "commit". In the future, you can click on that file and press the pencil icon to edit it.

Then, go to https://<yourusername.github.io/<whatever-you-named-the-file> (probably something like https://sethspodcast.github.io/podcast.rss). It may take a few minutes. That will be the RSS feed for your podcast.

Congrats, you now have a podcast.

After that, you probably will want to submit it to iTunes [2] and Google Play [3].
