0 Comments“The Earwolf app is a piece of crap!”
Practically everyone’s been having trouble with the Earwolf app for the iPhone for a while now. The latest OS update Apple pushed out (4.3.3) broke the audio player I was using, and, on top of that, our new audio host decided to keep changing their mp3 URL structure, making everything a managerial nightmare.
But no one cares about any of that, they just want it fixed! Here comes the beauty of software updates!
So here it is: Earwolf 2.0 for iPhone.
• See the most recently released shows on the main page!
• An auto-updating, easy to navigate SHOWS TAB! Each episode page contains descriptions, photos, clips, and guest profiles!
• Access to bios/clips/appearances/tour dates for all Earwolf guests! You can also purchase tickets to their shows without ever having to leave the app!
• A playlist that allows you to queue up as many tracks as you want, and remembers where you left off in between uses! It also has larger buttons, a larger slider, and a -30 seconds button, all of which were requested about a hundred times each…
• Browse/post in the forums!
• Purchase items from the shop!
• Custom notifications! This one’s huge: choose which shows you want to be notified about! Choose which guests you want to be notified about! Choose what time of day you’d like to be notified!
• Read the blog!
• Send emails to the shows!
The app will be available within two weeks from today! If you want early access, I am giving out 10 invites to participate in the beta. Just leave a comment below and I’ll randomly pick ten.
Update (July 12): I’m going to have my Oprah moment and just send everyone who’s commented so far an invite. If you’ve commented, please check your email! Thanks!
22 CommentsEarwolf Live for iPhone
Hey everyone,
Unfortunately, the Earwolf Live for iPhone app was rejected from the App Store earlier today. Our reviewer seems to have misunderstood the purpose of the app, and rejected it thusly.
I’ve submitted an appeal, and am now waiting to hear back from them. In the meantime, the app’s been built for a couple weeks now, and it could take anywhere up to a week for Apple to respond to the appeal. So, I’m giving away early access to the first 50 people (the maximum we can do outside without being in the app store) who register their phones via link below. Those who register will have access to the app within 24 hours.
Hope to have it in app store soon!
Give me early access to Earwolf Live!
5 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.
