I wonder if Sez and Kurt got dropped by Spotify. No new Health Code Daily, Welcome to the Womb, or What a Mouthful in weeks. Old episodes are still up but I reckon there’s no draw to churn out new content if they’re getting “boosted” by being Spotify partners who are featured in those round up playlists.
Hmm I reckon it could mean one of a few potentials:
1) They’re dropped (for any number of reasons - poor performance, failure to meet contractual deadlines, Scum Durt being genuinely terrible people - take yo pick Spotify!);
2) Contract ended and not yet renewed (which they wouldn’t be keen to advertise because it shows there’s doubt if they’re not getting picked up again straight away);
3) Health code is between ‘SeAsOnS’, but you’d think they’d announce it if it waa this? Then again, it’s Sarah. So she’d either announce 6 months early, or after she’s already late to record the first month of
episodes ignorant small talk with her husband.
TBH it’s a terrible look regardless of the reason, and an indictment on their (mainly Sarah’s) terrible business management, especially in light of HoG which is meant to
specialise in podcasts among other content (nontent). Shouldn’t a serious production house have a timed strategy for this sort of thing, and be ready to execute it months in advance? I work in a business management role (not even social media which I’d think has to be even more timely) with heaps of industry partners, and we are currently seriously prepping for stuff happening in June-Dec 2023! It’s normal.
I keep coming back to this idea that Sarah is self-sabotaging, because my mind just can’t fathom how someone can be this level of incompetent.
