Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr....... Just does not sit well with me. I was gonna be a nice boy, and subscribe, and get my T-shirt. But that ONE thing, just is filling my stomach with acid. here are my hair-brained ideas that I am shitting out with about 90 seconds worth of thought, that make a fuck-ton more sense to me than the Splitcast.

• Merch store. It is fucking do-able, even if they have had problems in the past. Hoodies; T-shirts (which they fucking have now anyway!!!!!); plushie bombs, luchadeers, whiskey bottles; stickers; patches; mugs, steins, shotglasses, cocktailshakers; keychains. All doable.
• Fire Kessler
• more ads
• sponsored Bobcasts, like many, many podcasts I listen to already do. I'm sure NOS energy would buy airtime, or something. I would much rather listen to a 10 second "brought to you by" than wait a goddamned week. Or even an NPR style- "Users like XYZ and QRS", where you just hit the Paypal button, and for $10, get your name read by Ryan. None of that messes with the integrety of the podcast.
  
• Donation button. I would have donated to y'all years ago.
  
• have a shorter bombcast. Stop doing the Wiiware and DSIware time wasters.
  
• use lower bitrates, offer DL links offsite, or some such to cut down on bandwidth issues.
• Subscribers get a video podcast, and scrubs get the old, regular format one.

EDIT

  @ LlamaNL If we get 5,000 subscribers by 10amPST on 9/10, the Bombcast goes free for everyone. Forever. Deal?
