How to Fix Kinda Funny - Kinda Funny Podcast

·1 hr 11 min·5 clips

Greg Miller and Nick Scarpino argue whether Family Matters deserves more respect than Full House while questioning if Air Bud is immortal.

The episode begins with the hosts engaging in lighthearted banter about 90s sitcoms and LaCroix flavors before transitioning to the main topic. Greg Miller explains that the episode is a companion to their 'How to Fix Xbox' and 'How to Fix PlayStation' episodes, titled 'How to Fix Kinda Funny'. They invited listeners to call a Google Voice number with suggestions, receiving hundreds of voicemails. The hosts play and react to these calls throughout the episode. Early calls include suggestions to give hosts alcohol before shows and to create asynchronous super chats for fans who cannot join live streams. A caller from Arizona requests more meet-and-greets, prompting a discussion on how the company's growth and post-COVID realities have changed their event strategy. Another caller critiques YouTube memberships clogging the video feed, but Greg passionately defends supporting paying members. The conversation shifts to marketing challenges, with the hosts acknowledging difficulties in converting social media viewers into podcast listeners. A caller from Wisconsin suggests more content on older games, leading to a debate on balancing retro coverage with new releases. Another proposes a weekly screencast for movie reviews, but the hosts note the audience's primary interest in gaming. The episode also touches on ideas like a 24/7 streaming channel, reviving KFAF in shorter segments, and better spotlighting indie games. Throughout, the hosts emphasize their 11-person team's limited bandwidth and the need to serve their existing audience while exploring new opportunities. The episode concludes with a reminder of their live streaming schedule and membership options.
