YKS Premium S36E7: Mike and Jesse Have a Podcast

Several hundred episodes in, perhaps we have perfected the podcasting art form with YKS. But there was a time, believe it or not, when all we had was a theme song, a blank Google doc, and a dream. We never recorded an episode with our original micro-premise, but if we did, it would have sounded a little something like this…(with worse microphones)

Music for YKS Premium courtesy of Wavmage, Howell Dawdy and Mark Brendle. YKS is edited by Producer Dan. Art by ExtraNapkins and animation by PremiumContent. Social Media by Maddalena Alvarez.

YKS should have Bryan and Brace on for a premium episode for sure.

You should definitely do top 5 pizzas with pros and cons every week

You know what you should kickstart? A vinyl pressing of all the yks music (if the talented folks who made the tracks are into it anyway) Was it a recent mailbag where someone said have you ever done a project yourself? This is exactly the sort of thing that would definitely get funded, but also you can probably scrape a couple of episodes out of your findings on using Kickstarter as a creator. Not main feed episodes. But you know, when one of the months has too many weeks again and you are short of ideas for the premium eps! There’s 3 billion people in the world. I love the show, I love the music, I love physical media. X that by 3 billion… need I say more? In conclusion, make a bloody project and ideally, make it this one. I appreciate it’s a ton of work but would honestly be something fans of the show would want and you could get a ton of new things to complain about in the podcast intro each week as a bonus!
