Earwolf Makes Major Announcements!
After months of hard work and planning, we are proud to launch a completely redesigned Earwolf website. Along with the new website’s improved design there are added functions, new shows, improved apps and more.
New Shows:
Episodes of The Apple Sisters will be released each Monday, and are based on the popular live show of the same name. Candy, Cora, and Seedy Apple are singers, actresses, and raconteurs straight out of 1943. While the technology is still a bit foreign to them, they’re pleased as punch to plunge into podcasting.
Episodes of Affirmation Nation with Bob Ducca will be released every Monday through Friday, unless he can’t get a ride to the studio or one of his many health conditions flare up. As the official ex-stepfather of Earwolf, Bob has grown to love our listeners (and our listeners have grown to pity him). He hopes to give back to the Earwolf community with his daily meditations, poems, and ramblings.
New Website Features:
There is a section of Earwolf called Yourcast where we invite fellow podcasters to purchase directory listings. This way you can help support Earwolf while bringing attention to your own show.
We are very proud of our new On Tour feature. Simply enter your zip code and the number of miles you are willing to travel and we can show you where Earwolf hosts and guests will be performing near you.
New Apps:
The On Tour feature has a corresponding iPhone app (note: Currently pending iTunes App Store approval). Like the website feature, the app will allow you to view maps of different comedy venues, purchase tickets, and get more information on the show.
We finally have our very first Android app. This app will allow Android users to access Earwolf feeds through Google Listen and hear any of our shows on the go.
New T-Shirts:
We also have two new t-shirts! The first is for How Did This Get Made listeners and shows off one of our favorite discussion topics: Ridiculous Cage. The second is a simple epitaph that all our listeners should know by heart: The Wolf Dead.

20 CommentsComedian Tig Notaro Signs to Secretly Canadian
On August 2nd, Secretly Canadian is proud to release the debut album by Tig Notaro entitled Good One. This will be Secretly Canadian’s first comedy release. Good One contains well crafted and ridiculous material touching on subjects such as Tig’s family tree, Mexican hotel door signs, birthing a dinosaur, and how 90s pop singer Taylor Dayne is the easiest person in the world to run into, amongst other things. A deluxe version of the album contains the long anticipated DVD of Have Tig At Your Party, the human equivalent to the “burning log” DVDs.
Tig has had recurring roles on several TV Shows. Most notably, she played “Officer Tig” on Comedy Central’s The Sarah Silverman Program and was a Series Regular on ABC’s In the Motherhood, opposite Cheryl Hines and Megan Mullally. Most recently, Tig Guest Starred on NBC’s Community and is slated to appear on HBO’s animated series, The Life and Times of Tim. She is currently working with Sarah Silverman on a TV adaptation of her popular regular show at LA’s Largo Theater, Tig Has Friends. Tig’s new weekly podcast Professor Blastoff, through The Earwolf Network, premiered at #1 on iTunes May 2nd, 2011. You can check out the first episode HERE.
Tig has performed stand-up on her own half hour special on Comedy Central, Jimmy Kimmel Live, The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, and The Benson Interruption. Tig appears regularly at some of the most reputable comedy and music festivals around the world such as SXSW, Montreal Just For Laughs, Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Sketchfest and Bumbershoot. And this summer Tig will be performing at Bonnaroo, Sasquatch, and The Sled Island Festival. Check out a full list of live dates below.
