This episode is canon. When crowdfunding blew up in the early 2010s, it seemed like a new golden age of media was upon us: dormant franchises were given long-awaited spiritual successors and small creators were given resources to chase their dreams and make media that would never be greenlit by a studio. One of these early success stories was Barkley 2* and today we're going to talk about its creation and how Kickstarter allowed a humble Something Awful goon the opportunity to create The Greatest Game of All Time.*The Magical Realms of Tír na nÓg: Escape from Necron 7 - Revenge of Cuchulainn: The Official Game of the Movie - Chapter 2 of the Hoopz Barkley SaGaBumper music:Aphex Twin - Bucephalus Bouncing BallRun DMC - BounceQuad City DJs - Space JamKurtis Blow - BasketballYou can review this episode's document with sources at https://tinyurl.com/Barkley2PodDocFor inquiries, contact the show directly at IFTIpod@gmail.comCreated and Hosted by:Winslow Dumaine - www.winslowdumaine.com/Jay Brandstetter - linktr.ee/jaybrandstetterPO Box 2750Ventor City, NJ 08406Produced and Edited by:Steve Brown - linktr.ee/killhamsterIntro and Outro music is "in failure" by steveisbroke off of their album "steve and his week of wonders", used with permission. https://steveisbroke.bandcamp.com/album/steve-and-his-week-of-wondersThis program is not affiliated with or sponsored by Something Awful LLC or Jeffrey of YOSPOS.

My Little Pony. Three little words that can have wildly different connotations across the internet thanks to wildly unexpected popularity and fandom of 2010's My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. In this week's episode, we learn about the origin of the phenomenon and how Something Awful reacts to some of their own going against the flow and assuring everyone "no, really, it's a good show!"This week we're joined by Mike Carrozza Linktr.ee/mikecarrozza @mikecarrozza on Twitter and instagram Comedy album: Cherubic Podcasts: Am I The Bolcast? and We Didn’t Get a RoseYou can review this episode's document with sources at https://tinyurl.com/PonygoonsPodDocFor inquiries, contact the show directly at IFTIpod@gmail.comCreated and Hosted by:Winslow Dumaine - www.winslowdumaine.com/Jay Brandstetter - linktr.ee/jaybrandstetterPO Box 2750Ventor City, NJ 08406Produced and Edited by:Steve Brown - linktr.ee/killhamsterIntro and Outro music is "in failure" by steveisbroke off of their album "steve and his week of wonders", used with permission. https://steveisbroke.bandcamp.com/album/steve-and-his-week-of-wondersThis program is not affiliated with or sponsored by Something Awful LLC or Jeffrey of YOSPOS.

Dogs are great! But not every dog is right for every person, and nothing illustrates that better than The Maremma Scenario. Don't worry, nothing bad happens to the dog but I can't say the same for everyone else in this saga.We recorded this one last September so please excuse any temporal continuity errors.You can review this episode's document with sources at https://tinyurl.com/MaremmaPodDocFor inquiries, contact the show directly at IFTIpod@gmail.comCreated and Hosted by:Winslow Dumaine - www.winslowdumaine.com/Jay Brandstetter - linktr.ee/jaybrandstetterPO Box 2750Ventor City, NJ 08406Produced and Edited by:Steve Brown - linktr.ee/killhamsterIntro and Outro music is "in failure" by steveisbroke off of their album "steve and his week of wonders", used with permission. https://steveisbroke.bandcamp.com/album/steve-and-his-week-of-wondersBumper music:Masashi Hamauzu - Salmon's ThemeButthole Surfers - Jingle of a Dog's CollarThis program is not affiliated with or sponsored by Something Awful LLC or Jeffrey of YOSPOS.

It's been a long wait, and we return bearing a terrible secret. The secret pheromone extraction method may not actually help you attract FEMALES but it does make for a fascinating case study in how misinformation spreads online. This week, I really wish The Mengele Effect had a different name and diva cups make their first appearance.You can review this episode's document with sources at https://tinyurl.com/GoonCumPodDocFor inquiries, contact the show directly at IFTIpod@gmail.comCreated and Hosted by:Winslow Dumaine - www.winslowdumaine.com/Jay Brandstetter - linktr.ee/jaybrandstetterPO Box 2750Ventor City, NJ 08406Produced and Edited by:Steve Brown - linktr.ee/killhamsterIntro and Outro music is "in failure" by steveisbroke off of their album "steve and his week of wonders", used with permission. https://steveisbroke.bandcamp.com/album/steve-and-his-week-of-wondersThis program is not affiliated with or sponsored by Something Awful LLC or Jeffrey of YOSPOS.

I normally don't like to talk about current forums stuff because it's boring and leads to more people yelling at me than usual. But I can't let perfect be the enemy of good so here's a feature-length minisode on 2023 in review and the current state of the soul of Something Awful as a community. I really need to emphasize that this is literally me ranting in a car about forums moderators for 90 minutes this is not a place of honor

Jay here, we're starting to work on new episodes and people have been asking if the show was coming back so I wanted to make it official and put something on the feed.The bad news, it's going to be just a little longer. But I didn't want to leave you empty-handed so I'm including a double minisode to end 2023 on a bang: an oral history of the year's events on Something Awful, and a life update of just what exactly I've been up to this past half a year (!!!)For those of you who aren't fans of the minisodes, don't fret because we recorded two proper episodes with Winslow a couple months back and as soon as Producer Steve returns from vacationing in Bali he's going to be working on getting those to you in 2024.Thanks for being there for me, I literally wouldn't be where I am right now if it weren't for this show and I'm looking forward to another year of great stories about goons and their consequences!

The conclusion to the Brigador saga. Yes this is not the usual Wednesday upload date, but Steve is understandably occupied with saying goodbye to his beloved cat Shrodinger (RIP) so Jay had to edit this one and since he still doesn't have an apartment he's going to take advantage of wifi when he can get it.You can review this episode's document with sources at https://tinyurl.com/BrigadorPodDocThe leaked badgame.net web pages can be downloaded at https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/dzxmfqfe2cucrtmdrqruq/badgame.zipA collection of BadGame.net user profile info can be perused at https://tinyurl.com/BadGameDotNetFor inquiries, contact the show directly at IFTIpod@gmail.comCreated and Hosted by:Winslow Dumaine - www.winslowdumaine.com/Jay Brandstetter - linktr.ee/jaybrandstetterProduced and Edited by:Steve Brown - linktr.ee/killhamsterIntro and Outro music is "in failure" by steveisbroke off of their album "steve and his week of wonders", used with permission. https://steveisbroke.bandcamp.com/album/steve-and-his-week-of-wondersThis program is not affiliated with or sponsored by Something Awful LLC or Jeffrey of YOSPOS.
