## Episode Summary

Al Gore: The Internet is a series of tubes.

Me: Say what?

Al Gore: Naw, Nice talking to you kid. But what if instead of a series of tubes, it was a series of podcasts and those podcasts were arranged in a network?

Me: Right.

Al Gore: Well let me recommend you a podcast network: Globe Hell Family Podcast Network.

Me: Epic!

Al Gore: Yes.

## Idea Details

* Idea: Globe Hell Family Podcast Network
* Creator of idea: Josiah
* Purpose of idea: Podcasts are everywhere. Everyone has a podcast. There's all kinds of things you can learn from them. There's everything to do, and we kinda just went right in and started our podcast; it's taken us 59 episodes to perfect it, but we've never really bothered kind of explaining the value of a podcast in and of itself. So my point is - and I'm gonna get to the part that's kind of about us changing the world in a little while - but my point is I think *everyone* should start a podcast, and I think that everyone on Earth *should* have a podcast. But my point is, there's - there are so many podcasts but there can never be enough podcasts so I wanna just show you some podcasts that are already out there, to kind of get - (Drew: "OK. Marc Maron?") - get everyone familiarized with the idea of - sure, I mean, that's one. (Drew: "Marc Maronnnnnn.") That's one, or check - (Drew: "*Office Ladies*, *Serial*?") Let's listen to this person tell us. From the Newsmakers Podcast Network. So, Drew, wh- I mean, what is Newsmakers Podcast Network? It's a n- It's a network! (Drew: "Right.") And that's kinda the next thing I wanted to talk about is we know what podcasts are: *TCG Buzz*, - (Drew: "Mhm.") Uhh what's the other one? (Drew: "*Political Radar*.") *Gaming Buzz*? (Drew: "*Gaming Buzz*.") *TCG Buzz*. Did you already say that? (Drew: "And *Gaming Buzz*.") And *Political Radar*. (Drew: "Radar. Mhm.") Um and so these are all podcasts! They're all different shows about different topics. (Drew: "Yes?") *TCG Buzz*, *Gaming Buzz*, and *Political Radar*. You know, - (Drew: "Uh huh.") - one of them's about TCG, b- gaming, *Political Radar*, *TCG Buzz*. (Drew: "Uh huh. *Gaming Buzz*.") *Political Radar*. Uh and these shows are all part of under an umbrella - it's kind of like uh one big grou- it's like a cluster! They're all toge- they're all grouped together, OK? (Drew: "Right. OK.") They're all in one - and that's called a podcast uh - what did I say? (Drew: "A pod.") Network! Well it's called a network. (Drew: "Right.") Um and so the - and so *TCG Buzz*, *Gaming Buzz*, *Political Radar*, they're all part of a network called Newsmakers Podcast Network. (Drew: "Mhm.") My point is we need - there's net- you could be p- we could be part of a network, is one thing we could do. (Drew: "Right.") Or... we could start our own. The point is, people group their podcasts into networks. But there's one thing that they've not done - (Drew: "But we'll - right.") Oh. Go ahead. (Drew: "Oh, I was just gonna say, we only have one podcast, so I don't know why we're talking about po- podcast network. Unless we're planning on joining one.") Well here's what I'm thinking. And I actually - I would actually appreciate it if people listening at home maybe didn't listen to this part, cause this is kinda just more for me and Drew. Uh but I was kinda thinking that we could start a podcast network - (Drew: "Mhm.") - that owned - that kind of all of the other podcast networks are a subsidiary of ours. Like we just claim the stakes at the top, - (Drew: "Mhm.") - we have the World Wide Globe Hell uh Family Podcast Network, - (Drew: "Right.") - and the - and it's our f- it's a family - we use words like 'family', 'community', - (Drew: "Mhm.") - that kind of stuff. And we are the - all podcasts and podcast networks fall under the umbrella of Globe Hell. Cause why would the anyone be able to stop us from saying that? Uh. If we just cl- lay claim to the stakes - (Drew: "Mhm.") - then w- then it's - then everyone's under *our* podcast network, and then everyone sharing and m- growing their business, marketing the podcast, all the SEO and stuff, it funnels back to us. (Drew: "OK. I mean, I have no problem with that, if we want to do that. I just, I feel like, will -") And that's why if we encourage more people to start podcasts, it'll be even more podcasts in our network.
* Timetable: The Globe Hell Family Podcast Network acquisition of all other podcasts and podcast networks took effect at the end of the recording of this episode.
* Idea details:
	+ Josiah and Drew will start the Globe Hell Family Podcast Network, by which all of the other podcasts and podcast networks will be subsidiaries of theirs. This will allow them to immediately claim the stakes at the top and thus all revenue earned from sharing and growing business and marketing and SEO will funnel back to them.
	+ Josiah and Drew will encourage people to create new podcasts because then it will be even more podcasts in their podcast network.
	+ By the end of this episode, all podcasts will be under the Globe Hell Family Podcast Network. If you don't want to be in it, you have to post on your podcast's social media page that you opt out of Globe Hell Family Podcast Network.
		- Note: Josiah pointed out that even if people post an opt out message, it's still marketing the Globe Hell brand, which is good for them either way.
	+ Statement from the official Globe Hell Warning Twitter account (see this tweet for more information on the topic):
		- All existing podcasts are automatically included in the Globe Hell Family Podcast Network. Welcome to the family! If, for whatever reason, you wish to opt out, just add this handy transparent PNG to your podcast's logo:
	+ Josiah and Drew will not ask for a lot of money from each podcast in the Globe Hell Family Podcast Network; maybe just a few pennies from every pod.

## Devil Play

* Josiah deviled themselves by pointing out that just because the Globe Hell Family Podcast Network is a family doesn't mean that they are all family-friendly content.
	+ Drew agreed.

## Notable Events

## Trivia

* This is the second episode idea created by Josiah that involves consolidating disparate creators' media under one network content roof, after Episode 31: Mandatory Warhol.
	+ Note: It is unclear how the Globe Hell Family Podcast Network will be able to continue after the elimination of all other forms of media in as part of the Mandatory Warhol Network, since that elimination of other forms of media specifically includes the elimination of all podcasts as well.
* This episode has two notably different episode titles between its audio and video formats. The audio version is titled "Episode 59: Globe Hell Family Podcast Network", while the video version is titled "Globe Hell Family Podcast Network (video)".
	+ Note: The title used for this Globe Hell Warning Wiki page was chosen for its greater degree of clarity.
	+ Note: This is the first main episode with an episode title that adds a word, as opposed to the usual standard of simply excluding the episode number from the title.
	+ Note: There is some precedence for excluding the episode number from the episode title, as detailed below:
		- World Wide High School
		- Episode 9: World Wide Landlord was originally titled simply "World Wide Landlord" but was renamed to include the episode number.
		- Bus
		- Episode 19: World Wide Rock Festival was originally titled simply "World Wide Rock Festival" but was renamed to include the episode number.
