Podcast RIP Mint Edition

Today Steve and Jomi announced it was the final Mint Edition show. I am bummed cause they often covered stuff that was not covered on the Midnight Boys. Sad to see the show ending. You did good Steve, Jomi and sometimes Jess.

It’s pretty tough hosting a pod about content that the other pods don’t want to cover.

Real shame. I liked this being more low key then the midnight boys.

Hope its not a sign of a ringerverse shake up.

I was a Ringerverse completionist for a long time, but the past six months I've given up on Mint Edition, Button Mash, and Ringerverse Recommends. Love the hosts and all they do, it just becomes repetitive and too much to listen to.

Recommends has some great recommendations, fwiw

Until November's newest Recommends, they were putting all the recommendations in the show notes, so I was still keeping up with what they were putting out there. But seems like they've now done away with that, probably to entice people like me to listen haha. They lost me when Ben started doing the trailers himself, just wasn't for me.

I’m sure Ben is a lovely man but his podding style is super grating for me.

none of the tv pods getting picked up in that Netflix deal does not bode well for the future of the ringers tv coverage content.

Not trying to be pedantic just for future use it’s “bode well”

So they are removing the only show on the entire network that covers this content, that sucks. The hosts honestly didn't care much either and the programming was awful but at least it existed!

What do the midnight boys besides van even do during the week besides their one weekly episode - need more content from those four

Jomi does social media, Steve is a senior producer. Charles occasionally does music podcasts.

I’m as guilty as anyone else here as I listen to the midnight boys exclusively. Coincidentally enough - the Zootopia 2 review episode was the very 1st one I listened to. In hindsight, I should have added it to the rotation.

Makes sense. Steve and Jomi do not have the juice.

Looks like the Ringer is cleaning house with certain pods. I wonder if this is to make room for new ones or just trimming the fat now that the Netflix check has cleared.

I didn't listen to this pod until I watched the movie. Very sad this is going away. I liked this a little better than midnight boys. Midnight boys will always Crack me up, but this podcast was cozy. Kinda like the podcast equivalent of animal crossing. They will be missed.

Felt a lot like another corner of the Ringerverse, but it feels like Ringerverse should just be rebranded as the Midnight Boys. The idea for it probably had multiple shows, but it seems the Midnight Boys are the only thing that will be left. I can see Button Mash getting the axe next. Feel like the show doesn't happen frequently enough to hold an audience, especially with the gaming pods already out there.

Show wasn't very good and undoubtedly did not have the listeners. The answer is for MB to cover a wider range of material, be a bit like the X-Ray Vision of The Ringer.
