IMPLAUSIBLY ENOUGH
THANK YOU, everyone, for making the TODAY-IN-THE-PAST-CAST the number 2 best “selling” podcast on iTunes, IMPLAUSIBLY ENOUGH.
I AM VERY GRATEFUL.
HOWEVER, I realize that some of you may be saying:
“I LIKE ALL THESE FAKE FACTS, but I am sorry that I cannot pay money for them, and also hear them all at once, FOR HOURS.”
SO I WOULD BE REMISS in not pointing out that the ENTIRETY of “Today In The Past” is also included on the full AUDIOBACK EDITION of the book.
NOT TO MENTION:
MANY MORE FAKE FACTS
INCREDIBLE GUESTS including Coulton! Maddow! F Tompkins! Dick Cavett! Ira Glass! Vowell! Galifianakis! Gervais!
AND YOUR NARRATOR: Paul Rudd.
AND ALSO: 700 mole-man names, recorded before a live studio audience, UNDER THE GROUND.
SERIOUSLY: I am very proud of this effort, and especially the effort of the astonishing actual talents who made it happen, IMPLAUSIBLY ENOUGH.
AND I WOULD BE REMISS in not pointing this out, since some do not seem to believe it.
BUT NOW I WILL SAY NO MORE
That is all.

I just finished listening to part one of the audioback. Were you aware that the word uttered at the exact centermost moment of the digital audio file is “powerful”? Powerful. What better endorsement could there be?

I fear I’m going to wear out the needle on my iPod listening — and re-listening — to the new audiobook. (Hodgman aside, the purchase price is amply justified by JoCo’s theme to Battlestar Galactica.) Nice job, y’all!

I’d love to buy this audiobook but apparently the zeros and ones that make it up are not allowed to come to my antipodean shore. Any idea when this is going to be “released” in Australia?

I don’t know about the rest of the world, but the audiobook was #1 in the Canada iTunes store the day it came out, although regrettably that spot is now occupied by a 95 cent book that teaches you how to perform miracles. That’s hard to beat. I’m still waiting for the Gervais cameo though, but I enjoyed the Seona Dancing reference.

I am sorry to bring it up, but your audioback book will be directly competing with Sarah Palin’s magnum opus, “Going Rogue: An American…Never Mind”. In order to give your book a fighting chance, why did you not title it: “Going Commando: Which Is More Information Than You Required.” Also why is Sarah Palin not a guest screecher on the audioback version of your book? She seems to be everywhere.
Just trying to maximize your sales.

Is there an rss feed for the podcast? I was not convinced by the fine ad campaign you were a part of and have a laptop running Linux.

I run a “humorous” website and I would love to have the “This Day in History” on it, the way you do on yours, so I can embed the code on my site.
Can’t Coulton whip something up for you?

PS I see those comment posts for pianos everywhere, it is the weirdest spam campaign I’ve ever seen. Who buys a pianoforte online?
