Switching one audience for another isn’t growing.
I strongly believe that if you’re not passionate about the work, it won’t be at its best — so I’m glad Jared decided the old format wasn’t inspiring him anymore and made a change. I also know one of his goals was to expand to a broader audience beyond UUp and Betchlor. For a successful audience expansion, the goal is to welcome new audience members while also keeping most of the old. That’s how an audience grows in number. I can’t imagine this show is on the path to growth, because this complete tonal shift makes no effort to retain Jared’s mostly female audience. Multiple jokes made by guests in the first three episodes were explicitly misogynistic. Jared, women don’t want to hear men make jokes about them being in the kitchen. I was really in support of you making a change that felt right for you — but this is such a deviation from the supportive, understanding advice for women that many listeners felt was your differentiator that I fear many will leave. And frankly, though I still appreciate your voice on the other podcasts, I’m not likely to pay for a ticket to see a comedian who would laugh at jokes that put women down on the show they’ve named after themselves. ————————— Pre-change review: I really loved this week’s honest conversations about body issues. Always love the comedy, but this was a really great balance that felt super honest and much needed at this time. Thank you both for your vulnerability!
