Chapter 1: What updates are being made to the Kind of Funny podcast feeds?

21.616 - 43.879 Tim Geddes

What's up, y'all? It's Tim Geddes from Kind of Funny. Here's the deal. We have been celebrating 10 amazing years of Kind of Funny, and it's been going great. We added the Kind of Funny membership to Apple Podcast and to Spotify. We added video on Spotify. We made a whole bunch of different changes to our content lineup. And with that, there's always going to be some hiccups and some hurdles.

Chapter 2: What changes have been made to the content lineup?

44.079 - 65.375 Tim Geddes

We are trying our best the last couple weeks to figure out how to get all that content to you as fast as possible and as high quality as possible with as few mistakes as possible. And we're learning how to best do that. There's been a lot of patience we've had to ask from you for us to have the time to kind of figure all that stuff out.

65.796 - 85.545 Tim Geddes

As we're doing that, I wanted to keep y'all updated on where we're at just so there's as few questions as possible. I know there's a lot of questions, and I want y'all to know, We're working very hard here to try to figure this all out. It's just difficult with the amount of shows we do on the amount of platforms that we have. And I'm not even talking about the KF membership site.

85.585 - 106.892 Tim Geddes

I'm even just talking about delivering things when they're live, video, podcast, all of those things. With that being said, one of the things I wanted to update everybody on because we do know the source of what's happening is the different podcast feeds. You might have noticed that a couple shows are coming up multiple times if you've subscribed to different kind of funny shows over the years.

0

107.333 - 133.349 Tim Geddes

The only podcast feeds that we are using going forward are Kind of Funny Games Daily, Kind of Funny Games Cast, Kind of Funny In Review, and Kind of Funny Podcast. If you previously subscribed to PSI Love You XOXO, XCast, Screencast, KFAF, We Have Cool Friends, any of the shows that somebody killed, Those feeds have now been replaced with the feeds of the four shows I said.

0

Chapter 3: What should listeners do about duplicate podcast feeds?

133.449 - 156.3 Tim Geddes

So Gamescast, Games Daily, KF Podcast in review. You do not need to subscribe to multiple instances of each show. So if you are, you can unsubscribe and just make sure you subscribe to one of each of those four and you should not be getting duplicate uploads going forward and everything will be great. If you are trying to get any of that older content, you can find it on YouTube.

0

Chapter 4: Where can listeners find older Kind of Funny content?

156.36 - 176.145 Tim Geddes

Or, of course, if you're on Patreon, the entire history of Kind of Funny is there. You can get that. But for free, you can get all of it on YouTube. Unfortunately, this was a merge that was out of our hands. We were not prepared or planning to have it happen this way. And it is now irreversible. So this is just something that we are dealing with. And I'm going to let you know right now.

0

176.545 - 191.192 Tim Geddes

I'm not that happy about, but that's more of the past than the future. I'm very happy with where we're at now. This is going to be better for kind of funny going forward. So thank you for your patience. I'm so sorry that this is confusing and weird, but sometimes the best things in life are.

0

191.572 - 210.243 Tim Geddes

So moral of the story is make sure you subscribe to kind of funny games, daily kind of funny games, cast kind of funny in review, kind of funny podcast, just once each. on podcast feeds, on the podcast service of your choice. Do not subscribe to multiple instances or else you're just going to get so much content. There you go.

210.703 - 231.197 Tim Geddes

One other thing, now moving to the KF membership side of things, we are trying our best to figure out the best workflow to record shows, edit shows, get them uploaded, and get them to you as fast and as high quality as possible in video and audio forms where applicable. And we are realizing there is a lot of issues with how Spotify handles things.

0

231.277 - 252.506 Tim Geddes

how Apple handles things, how Patreon handles things, how YouTube handles things, and we're trying to find the best path forward to get it to everyone as fast as possible. One major issue, not issue, one major thing we have noticed is the Spotify ad-free version for Kind of Funny members, the audio-only version, is the first thing to post...

253.126 - 272.263 Tim Geddes

then the public for everyone, but with ads, video and audio post at the same time, and then the video ad-free post on Spotify. That is out of our control, and it all has to do with processing. We upload, then it's on their end to process, and it is just in order of when that thing is done processing, and then it gets to everybody.

272.683 - 294.693 Tim Geddes

We're trying our best to find ways to record in different codecs and formats and a whole bunch of production tricks and tips that we're trying out here to make that process as fast and, again, high quality as possible. But just letting you all know, we're doing everything we can to make this an optimal experience. It is just very difficult when we're working with other people and their systems.

295.434 - 320.554 Tim Geddes

But you might notice if you are... This really mainly affects... Spotify non-Kind of Funny membership people. So if you're trying to get the show free on Spotify, you might notice that there's a lock on it. That is just because the version with ads that's free for everybody has not yet processed, but it is processing. So keep coming back, keep refreshing, and it'll eventually be there.

320.954 - 338.482 Tim Geddes

Or get the Kind of Funny membership, and it should be a little faster there. That's on Spotify. I don't want to get too much in the details here. The most important thing for you to know is we're on it. We're trying our best. And there's always going to be uploading and processing and time. And I wish it was all instant. Maybe one day it is. But for now, I appreciate your patience.
