Wait, you still use SKYPE? Why haven't you switched to Discord yet?

Great bonus ep! I’ve always wanted to know your process, and now that I’ve heard it, I’m never going to attempt to make a podcast again. Sounds so intimidating! You guys do a really great job, thank you for all that work.

Disappointed there was no mention of what's worn during the process, so I'll assume: Chris wears a full 18th century smoking jacket outfit and Chad wears roller skates...

This was an interesting show - I agree with your reasons for restricting your story selections to deceased authors - it avoids turning this into a standard review show. One thing I enjoy a lot is the banter aspect of your podcast, so I do hope you never edit things to a point where that is lost. Or if you do, keep a less-edited, rambling, funnier version for a patreon tier?

That was a lot more of Chad this week, and I think that in the episodes we possibly get a little more Chris. Do you try and balance your input?

Chris talking about the irony of not being able to listen to podcasts resonated with me. As a full time musician, I get so relatively little time to listen to music. I obviously can't listen to music while I'm working (i.e. practicing). On the bright side, I can listen to podcasts as a bit of white noise to help keep me focused while working on tedious technical stuff though I have to intentionally listen to things that won't necessarily draw my full attention. As a result, I've listened to the whole back catalogue of this podcast (my go-to practice podcast) more times than I can count.

Chad's comment about learning something even from a text you don't like resonates with me as an English teacher. One of the main tasks I have initially is to get my students away from thinking about text analysis as a book review. You may not like the text, it may be a mediocre piece of work but nonetheless you can still engage with it analytically and learn something. I've had to tell myself this notably in the years when I've had to teach Charlotte Perkins Gilman's 'Herland' or Eliot's 'Silas Marner' Now, of course, I shamelessly use my prerogative as department head to choose texts I like. Dance my minions! You'll read 'Doctor Faustus' and like it! Muahahahaha.

Chad is also a bit more curmudgeonly than he appears once edited.

Thanks for doing this. I'm prepping a podcast series about adaptations of Dracula at the moment, and you've given us some really useful info here.

Thank you for letting us see the strings and wires, gents. Just in case you have any lingering doubts, please be assured that your finished product sounds polished and professional every single time. There's a whole slew of podcasts that really ought to have a listen to this here episode...

This was great. Given I produce several podcasts, I just found myself nodding a lot. I'm impressed by the professionalism you guys put into it. I'm far more lazy with people talking over each other and annoying words people say over and over to fill in spaces. I think it's just because my small audience knows what to expect from me: a free podcast that's sometimes not crap. :)

Great bonus episode idea, my biggest question is has there been any story you've tried to do but just couldn't get through or any you outright refuse to do? Either because they were just bad or out there.

Anonymous

Can we have a bonus episode of all the tangential topics you cut? Call it Chad's tangential noodling.

You guys do a really good job of making it sound like you're having a natural conversation together in the same room. Edited to add: it may actually be even more convincing now than in the episodes when you actually were having a natural conversation together in the same room. Very suspicious.....

That to me is the one noteworthy thing about this podcast as far as production is concerned. On virtually any other dual or more than one host podcast, it is always so abundantly clear what is going on microphone-wise. I've given up on Science Sort Of (and many others) for this very reason. Wearing earbuds means I just cannot afford having static and chats with people on mobile phones scratching the inside of my eardrums and brain. There have been improvements in HPPodcast from the beginning, but by and large it just sounds like two friends having a nice chat in one room. Common Descent has become my go to replacement deep science podcast whose quality matches this one. These issues are also why I don't really ever see myself making a go of my own podcast. I'd never ever be satisfied with how it sounds.

You never did reveal whether you guys record in the nude. What Patreon level do we have to commit to in order to find out the real details of how the show is produced?

The hard work definitely pays off! You mentioned you didn't have a special topic show in mind for August; perhaps something related to NecronomiCon?

Loved this episode. Not only was it interesting, but it brings another level of appreciation for the work involved. In such a content-rich environment It's easy to take regularly-scheduled independent media for granted. When I try to imagine going through the process you described even once or twice - let alone weekly - it boggles my mind. Thanks again and I hope we can enjoy the fruits of your labor ( and likely twisted, broken, podcasting-pummeled bodies) for a long time to come.

HJs and free-balling! Unedited Chris is only slightly more randy than I expected.

Chad and Chris, both of you are clearly murderers because you guys KILL IT on the show every week! Oh yeah, and because of all those authors you murdered so you can cover their stories.

Anonymous

I listen to you guys when I'm in the car - not a new car mind you, but a relatively loud old car - so I really do appreciate the quality of the recordings you produce. Thank you again for your time and work!

I'm so impressed at all the work that goes into making a finished product that sounds like a natural conversation! With all this editing, one question emerges for me: I was just listening to episode 163 - The Invisible Eye, and Chris mentions a character looking forward to marrying his cousin, noting, "I guess that's something people did?" Immediately Chad responds with a notably . . . enthusiastic "Yeeeaahhh." Joke by Chris on an under-the-weather Chad? Some clarifying " . . . people were so weird" that followed the Yeah but hit the cutting room floor? Or does Chad just have a really attractive cousin?

what (if anything) has doing the podcast changed about your "regular" lives? i guess i mean either big or small. ie: has hearing yourself say "so" and "and" so often made you more selfconscious about it? or has doing the podcast changed the way you view other aspects of your lives? (either from analyzing the readings or from the production of the show) anyway, this was a great episode and i'm not going to say your show changed my life or anything like that, but it certainly has had a huge positive impact on me for so many many years. thanks!

I loved listening to this episode. As a teacher, I spend so much time planning and reviewing. I imagine every profession has their version of pre/post production. Chad, you mentioned you taught English - do you think being a teacher helped with how you approach the production of this show or did you teach because you already approach any job with this level of dedication? Chris, what job/training helped you the most to prepare for this show? As with any true pro - you two make this seem effortless - just two friends talking about stories. I cannot listen to other podcasts without finding more reasons I love H.P. Podcraft.

To paraphrase Michael Scott, to heck with not wanting to find out how sausage is made. You guys just showed me your whole sausage!! Thanks.

You guy should be proud of the quality of the podcast. One of the hallmarks of a good podcast of this type is consistency over episodes. I recently stopped listening to HPLLP for a spell (I stopped listening to pretty much all podcasts because my commute changed and that was my prime listening time) and I recently started listening again. I was able to jump right back in and didn't feel like I'd missed anything.

Your assumptions were true for this listener ;)
