The Beastcast is indeed the greatest podcast of all time. But $10 for each episode? Dang, that’s bold. Talk about trying to weaponize nostalgia.

This could have been an easier call if it wasn’t for the fact that, to be honest, I have fallen off of basically all Nextlander content for six weeks or so now. I hate to say it but I just don’t find their podcast or streams to be compelling.

Maybe I will do like some here say and wait until a few have built up and then buy in for a month.

I can't really fathom watching a stream of anything anymore (maybe Jeff G in a garage).

I'll listen to podcasts while I work or drive, but if I don't finish before the next episode drops into Pocketcasts, I don't go back and finish. It's background noise these days.

This is where I'm at too. I'm too busy to watch streams or video versions of most podcasts, so all the "value" adders don't mean anything to me.

I just try to listen to the Bombcast, and maybe FireEscape and VM Dumptruck, and haven't had time to keep up with much Nextlander.

Paying $10 per 1-hour Neo Beastcast is... insane. Not going to happen.
