Why Did These Podcasts Die? Why Podcasting Should Care About Canceled Shows?

Why do podcasts die? And how do they die? 

On TV, series cancellation is a very public event, with numerous network announcements and media articles. Sometimes, these announcements of cancellation even generate a tsunami of protest and the show is "uncanceled" and brought back, such as Chuck on NBC. Or the show is picked up by another network or streaming service, like Lucifer going from Fox to Netflix. 

 Sadly, podcasts die quietly. It almost begs the existential question: If a podcast dies and no one knows, has it really died? After all, its archives can live on for years.

By contrast, popular TV shows can have multiple lives in reruns. Travel to any TV market throughout the U.S. and you can find Seinfeld, Friends, and The Big Bang Theory reruns. I think we all know the tale of the original Star Trek TV series on NBC from 1966-1969 that was canceled and then resurrected in reruns, where it blossomed and became one of the most popular and profitable entertainment franchises in history. 

Sadly, podcast archives, or reruns to use the TV vernacular, have little or no second shelf life. That's a shame because there are some terrific podcasts that were canceled that can be still enjoyed via their archives.

In this article, we will discuss two podcasts that I have reviewed in the past that are no longer "alive." No new episodes are being made or planned as far as I know.

Sadly, unlike Theresa Caputo, I cannot communicate with podcasts that "have passed on." 

*****************************************************

First up is Internet Urban Legends, which was released in April 2021. This series was from Spotify and Parcast, in collaboration with Wheelhouse DNA, and was hosted by beauty gurus and internet sleuths, Loey Lane and Eleanor Snitchery.  The marketing line was: "they scour the web for the most chilling unsolved mysteries that have plagued the curious with endless questions. Paranormal and true crime obsessives can follow Loey and Eleanor’s journey into the unknown as they investigate the Internet’s biggest mysteries in search for the truth."

Each episode, Loey and Eleanor took a deep dive into one big story, investigating clues and conspiracy theories that surround the paranormal tale to try to determine if it is a hoax or a haunt.

Snitchery is known for her stunning cosplay on Instagram and TikTok, transforming herself into super-glam versions of Luigi, Harley Quinn, and the like. Lane is known for projecting a body-positive image and combines fashion and beauty advice with paranormal material on her popular YouTube channel. The two are good friends in real life, so their chemistry was genuine, and the show was interesting and quirky. The debut episode featured the terrifying story of “The Watcher House” in the small town of Westfield, New Jersey; the second episode chronicled the horrifying TikTok Tyson Chandler’s stalking encounter that went viral and got downright paranormal.

The show ran from April 2021 until March 2023, when Spotify pulled the plug on the show, along with 10 other shows, and the Gimlet and Parcast production companies. 

In March 2023, Spotify also canceled How to Save a Planet, Crime Show, and Medical Murders, Every Little Thing from Gimlet and Female Criminals, Crimes of Passion, Dictator, Mythology, Haunted Places, and Parcast’s Horoscope Today.

The last episode of Internet Urban Legends was about trees and the petrified forest. This message was included on the Spotify episode page of the podcast. "This is the last episode of Internet Urban Legends. On behalf of everyone here at Parcast, we thank you for listening!"

In this case, we know why this podcast was canceled. It was part of Spotify's "boy, did we screw up podcasting, and now we're desperate to fix it" strategy. 

Was this a great show? No, but it was a good show with a decent audience, engaging social media hosts, and a lively topic.

As manager of Ear Worthy, a publication that promises its readers podcast reviews, recommendations, and industry trend articles, I receive numerous marketing pitches for new podcasts, or podcasts beginning a new season. 

Why don't I, or other podcast review sites, receive marketing pitches for terrific podcasts that have been canceled but still possess a high interest level, a uniquely fascinating topic that isn't covered by other podcasts, or charismatic hosts? 

After all, one of my favorite all-time podcasts is Spectacular Failures with Lauren Ober, which ran for two seasons a few years ago. The story of high-profile business failures is still pertinent. 

Seinfeld and Friends reruns are everywhere on broadcast, cable, and streaming TV, whether I want them or not. Why can't Spotify continue to make money from a canceled podcast and, at the same time, offer listeners a show with a proven track record?

These episodes of Internet Urban Legendsare available in the archives and, for listeners with a taste for true-crime, the paranormal, and social media celebrities, this show is a perfect match. 

Why doesn't Spotify advertise the archives of this show? They can add new programmatic ads to monetize the show and continue to find new listeners. Just like broadcast TV plays Last Man Standing, The King of Queens, and Mike And Molly. 

How about limited-series podcasts? These shows are typically single-topic podcasts with anywhere from five to 12 episodes. These podcasts can be some of the most powerful shows in the podcast industry.

Take, for example, The Nightingale Of Iran. The show ran from February 2024 until April 2024 with nine episodes and two bonus episodes. It is an exquisitely crafted and moving show about family, geopolitics, and the consequences when these two elements clash.

What if I told you that a Jewish singer was a national celebrity in the nation of Iran? You'd probably scoff and head to a fact-checking service to confirm my inaccuracy. With the socio-political and religious events in the 40 years, you'd be right in answering, "impossible"

However, politics is like the weather in its capriciousness and shifting winds. Back in the 1950s, Tehran under the Shah was a cultural center of the world and called the Paris of the Middle East.

It was a golden age for Jews in Iran. In the 1950s, a religious Jew – Younes Dardashti – became a national celebrity, singing at the Shah’s palace and on the radio. In the 1960s, his son Farid became a teen idol on TV. They were beloved by Iranian Muslims. 

 Younes Dardashti was so famous that he was known as The Nightingale Of Iran. The nightingale is the official national bird of Iran. In medieval Persian literature, the nightingale's enjoyable song has made it a symbol of the lover who is eloquent, passionate, and doomed to love in vain. In Persian poetry, the object of the nightingale's affections is the rose, which embodies both the perfection of earthly beauty and the arrogance of that perfection.

But at the height of their fame, Younes Dardashti and his Farid left the country. Why? Why would a revered entertainer and his teen idol son leave a nation? Would Taylor Swift bolt from the U.S. for Sweden or France? Not without Travis Kelce!

It has always been a mystery to host Danielle Dardashti and her sister Galeet. Danielle and Galeet are the granddaughters of The Nightingale Of Iran.

Why did their family leave Iran at the height of their fame? Now, in this enthralling documentary podcast series, the sisters reveal painful secrets unspoken for generations. 

This nine-part podcast will be relevant for years, even decades. But how can listeners find it after its initial run? Other than Danielle and Galeet Dardashti, who will be promoting this podcast? 

It's a show with a strong and poignant message about family, inclusion, living together, and the roots of racial hatred. 

The show should not be forgotten after April 2024. And, to be fair, there are thousands of ear-worthy limited run podcasts that deserve either reincarnation. 

I hope that important people in podcasting receive this message and develop a system by which either canceled podcast series or limited-run podcasts can be revived with new programmatic ads to monetize them, and re-released to podcast fans who deserve the full breadth of the content podcasting has to offer. Not just the flavor of the month.

What's your favourite place to get pizza? Oooh, definitely Lou Malnati's... they make the best Chicago deep dish pizza on the planet. But sadly I don't live near any of their restaurants. My favorite pizza place near here is the NY-style pizzeria on the town square.

Did you ever get detention in school? What for? Nope. I was too quiet as a kid to ever get into that much trouble haha.

Do you believe in horoscopes? Not one bit.

When you were growing up, did you share a bedroom with anyone? No.

Have you ever worn a wig? Just once, when I was 8 years old and I dressed up as a little old lady for Halloween. We had a school Halloween costume parade that everyone's families came to, and I remember seeing someone's elderly grandmother there and at the time I felt really bad and embarrassed that I was dressed up in a costume to look like her hahaha. But looking back from an adult perspective I'm sure she thought it was funny/cute.

Do you have any trips coming up? Maybe to Delaware next month or in January.

If you could take lessons/classes for anything, what would you do? Nature photography. We did a nature photography unit in my film photo II class in high school and I loved it. I'd definitely want to do a whole class in that, just with digital photography this time.

When was the last time you had an eye exam? Back in March or April.

Have you ever eaten Indonesian food? Just once. One of the days that my husband and I were exploring London, we stumbled upon an Indonesian festival at the park by Tower Bridge, and decided to try some of the food there.

Do you have any spaces to park a car at your home? Yes, we have a driveway and a 2-car garage.

What accents do you really struggle to understand? I'm terrible at understanding heavy French accents.

Do you have a Bachelor's degree? Yep.

What's the first thing you see when you look to your left? The curtains and the sliding glass door out to the patio and back yard.

Do you have a big sweet tooth? Only occasionally.

Have you ever been mistaken for a celebrity? Nope.

Right now, are you hot, cold or just right? Just right.

What's your regional term for swimwear? I'm Aussie so I call them swimmers :) Swimsuit or bathing suit.

Have you had caffeine today? Yep, I had a matcha latte this morning.

Do you own any textbooks? Are you currently studying from them? Yes but they're all from my college days, 10+ years ago.

What were the last earrings you wore? Where did you get them? I don't remember. I haven't worn earrings in... I don't even remember how long.

Are you waiting for anything right now? I'm waiting for the towels in the washer to be done.

Do you know how to drive a stick-shift/manual transmission car? Yep, I used to own a manual Ford Fiesta. Not for very long, though. I ended up really hating how tiny and cheap it was.

What sort of music have you been listening to lately? Classical.

Where is your crush/lover right now? Make a guess if you don't know. He's upstairs in bed.

When was the last time you had blood taken? I think it was when I was in the ER last May?

Have you ever watched the original Japanese version of Iron Chef? Nope.

Do you hate it when taxis and ride share drivers ask you a lot of questions? Yep.

What scent is your body wash or soap? Sort of a nutty vanilla scent, but it's pretty faint. It's a body wash for sensitive skin so it's not heavily fragranced.

When did you move into the house you currently live in? September 2021.

Sun in Leo III: Serapis

Sun enters Leo III on 12 Aug 2021 at 7:59 am EDT. Serapis, a syncretic synthesis of Egyptian and Greek mythology, rules the next ten days. What does harmonious diversity look like? Is it imposed, or does it arise naturally? Is it chaos, or homeostasis?

The horoscopes of Decan I of any sign are free to everyone, but Decans II and III are available to supporters of my Patreon account at the $3 or greater tiers. Your generosity through other means, like Ko-fi or PayPal opens the column to any potential readers. I have closed readings through most of August, September and Octber due to my upcoming wedding.

Sun in Scorpio III — Kairos

The Sun enters the realm of Kairos/Caerus, the lord of opportunity. What chances will you gather to yourself? What risks will you take to have what you want?

The Sun enters Scorpio III at 36 minutes before midnight on November 11, 2021 — nearly the whole of Armistice Day/Veterans’ Day will pass before the fated moment. Austin Coppock called this decan “The Crow” in his book on the decans, 36 Faces, noting its connection to its administrating planet Venus, and the search for the bright and the shiny that seems to be a feature of those with prominent…

Using a Kamea or Magic Square

Using a Kamea or Magic Square — I learned a few things from @arnemancy and his class on magic & cryptography in the Renaissance...

For the last few weeks I was taking Arnemancy’s class, The Other Trithemian Art, on codes and ciphers in magic. It’s quite an interesting class, and I’ve been enjoying the brain stretch to think about using codes and ciphers in magical and occult practice. It’s not an easy thing to think about — as John Michael Greer has opined, occultism can be defined as ‘discarded knowledge’ of one kind or…

Headless: The Sun on Orion

Greetings, Headless One, as you near your doom, even as your shoulders bend from the weight. Your sovereign strength grows, but approaches noon; the day draws near when your might shall abate, and your golden head shall roll from your neck. The shimmering sword shall sing as it’s drawnand as summer starts — the blade must swing hard. The sun goes one way on its steady trek while you march farther…

Prudence and her crew

@andrei-trc asked for a spell from @writtensecretsonparchment for being more motivated to learn better in school— “that is, to have the desire to learn with pleasure.” And the spell provided (here) is quite good.  But for magicians, the combination of Memory and Imagination and Will is the real source of delight in learning.  For the author of the Latin book on rhetoric called Ad Herrennium, Memory in particular was the fourth part of Prudentia, which is the wisdom rooted in the capacities of self-management and self-discipline — that is, foresight or the ability to predict future events based on past experience and studied material.  Ad Herrenium’s teachings eventually wound up in the writings of medieval Christian authors like Richard of St. Victor, Boethius, Duns Scotus, Albertus Magnus, and other scholars who used visual pictures to teach memory and awaken the fire of learning in their students.

Yet Memory is only the fourth part of a team.  And wouldn’t you want to have the whole team on your side??  The whole crew?  

Based on Ad Herrenium, and its teachings about memory as part of a larger program for the cultivation of enjoyable learning, here is a spell you probably haven’t seen before — an ancient style of magic, a drawn picture for summoning helpful spirits to you.  

So for Andrei-TRC to really get what they want, there needs to be a cultivation of a relationship with all of the parts of Prudence/Prudentia... the whole team. These are as follows: 

Docilitas, usually translated as ‘docility’, BUT is really “teachability” or the ability to learn from anyone else.  It bears more in common with curiosity than with docility (which we usually use to describe tame animals).

Sollertia, quick-wittedness, that allows us to take command of ourselves in uncertain or dangerous situations; or to make swift, humorous remarks in safe settings.

Ratio, or rationality, the ability to compare and contrast alternate options with one another, and to research and understand different choices.

Memoria, the capacity to recall information easily to one’s mind from written, oral, or visualized sources, and recite it accurately; 

Circumspectio, the ability to ‘walk around’ the outside of a situation or experience, and see it from the perspective of many different participants or groups.

Providentia, the capacity to use prior events to predict future events, and whether a specific course of action will lead to or away from a specific goal or objective.

Cautio, the capacity to minimize risk through an analysis of what are the likely points of failure in any given plan, and what are the ways to minimize these points of failure.

In other words, this is a spell which is greater yet for cultivating the pleasure of learning, by activating the spirit or mindset or soul-function of all of the things that learning is good for doing — in pagan and medieval philosophical thought, the cultivation of your relationship with the angel or goddess Prudentia and her four handmaidens (Docilitas, Sollertia, Memoria, and Providentia) and three guardians (Ratio, Circumspectio, and Cautio). 

It’s important to recognize that ancient and medieval authors had no trouble personifying these aspects of their souls, and externalizing them (that is, making them exterior forces).  Elizabeth Gilbert, the author of the runaway bestseller Eat Pray Love, did the same thing:  in her popular TED Talk, she said that the hardest thing about sitting down to write her next novel was the paralysis engendered by thinking she didn’t have another novel of that quality in her... and the only way to re-activate her writing capabilities was to call the spirit of her creativity, her muse, to her writing space and put that spirit in a place where she and the spirit could talk to one another.

You’re about to do the same thing.

Accordingly, draw a bad picture of Prudentia in the back of a notebook: a pretty woman with binoculars hanging from her neck (that’s the foresight), a book in her left hand (that’s the hindsight) and a wand (the emblem of self-command) in her right hand.  Label her with her name. Then draw a picture of each of her male servants at the corners of the page, again with ‘bad pictures’:  

Cautio has a beard and a helmet, and shoulder armor (pauldrons), and stands with a spear in one hand (to threaten away danger at a distance), and a shield in the other with a sun on it (to ward off danger that is close at hand). 

Ratio is described ‘as a scribe’, so draw him with a clipboard and a pen, taking notes and listening with an attentive ear to his mistress.

Circumspectio’s description doesn’t make sense to a modern audience, but it’s best to think of him as a runner or a swimmer - that is, a lean-bodied athlete; you can give him winged sandals like Mercury, running shoes, and a camera or smartphone in one hand, and one of those tactical boards from a football locker room, with X’s and Os, and arrows showing where people are going.

Then you can draw Prudentia's inner circle around her, closer in:

Docilitas is the library nerd girl with big glasses, a book in one hand and a pen in the other, sitting at table with a stack of books.  She’s eager to learn, curious about anything and everything, and will take in information like a sponge.

Sollertia is the funny girl.  She’s laughing, that’s the most important thing about her; but she’s got a backpack on (literally a bag of tricks), and she’s got a dagger in one hand (for sharp wit), and a feather in the other (for tickling your fancy with funny ideas).

Memoria is the serious girl. Maybe she dresses in all black with platform goth boots; maybe she’s just got converse high-tops. She’s holding a skull in one hand, and a book in the other.

Providentia is the organized girl.  She’s got a calendar or datebook in one hand, and leans on a yard- or meter-stick. She knows when the projects are due and which of your partners aren’t going to do the work (and which are).  

Once the pictures are drawn (and again, they don’t have to be good at all!), look at the picture each day before you leave the house, and invite the whole crew to come with you to school.  Imagine them picking their way out of the picture, and coming to sit on your shoulders, four on the left (Prudentia herself closest to your ear), and then the others on the right.  Take the picture with you to school if need be, too, and look at it between classes, or at the break. 

Once you’re in class, pay attention to the teacher, just like normal, but ask your shoulder crew what they think about the lesson.  Providentia will help you understand what you should write down from the white board or the presentation.  Memoria will jog your elbow and say, “remember that.”  Sollertia will tell you funny but accurate things to say in class.  Docilitas will teach you to be curious about just about anything, and she’ll prompt you to ask smart questions when she wants to know more.  You’ll learn more.

The boys are just as helpful. Circumspectio should be able to run around and see the event in history class from several angles, and knows how to play the “on the one hand/on the other hand” game in an essay in a language class.  Ratio knows exactly what’s likely to be on the test, and has a gift for science and foreign languages.  Cautio is able to ‘read the room’ and know when Sollertia’s joke will get a pass, and when to let it lie.  

At the end of the day of exciting and interesting learning, thank the seven and return them to their portrait.  Once they’re back in the portrait, ask them what they thought of the day — one at a time, and Prudentia herself, the leader of the pack, always speaks first and last.  At the start of the next day, as you call them out to sit on your shoulders, ask them what they think you should be paying attention to, on the way to and from class.  

Periodically, maybe once a semester or so, try drawing a new version of the seven.  You’ll find that, if you’ve been paying attention to their counsel, that it is easier to draw them even if you haven’t been practicing drawing or sketching as a skill. Your connection to them will make it easier to draw them.  You can also dab their portraits with a drop of olive oil as an offering or in thanks when you pass a test; they rarely need more, though for something big like a Bar Exam or a graduate entrance exam, you might give them a dollop of alcohol each. From a high schooler or undergrad, they will not expect much besides your company.

And now, consider: you have learned to go to school with a whole team of support staff whose job it is to entertain and amuse you with the content of the things that you’re learning about.  

And you have learned to cast a spell by drawing pictures, which is truly a valuable skill.  

When you’re done with the seven, and deepened your connection with them as much as you wish, invite them out of the portrait to take their proper places in your own soul, and destroy their portrait(s) with as much reverence and ceremony as you can arrange.

Daily Love Horoscope for Aquarius: March 10, 2021

Remember who you are, Aquarius. Despite whether you're currently single or already in a relationship, today's sun-Neptune conjunction will shake up your security-seeking second house of value systems, and perhaps blur the lines between reality and your imagination. And though this cosmic synergy is nothing short of magical and ethereal-like—let alone a plus for romance and creativity—it's easy to fall for illusions that revolve around your sense of self-worth and stability in the process. On a brighter note, the moon will join forces with Jupiter in your sign, encouraging you to be fearlessly and unapologetically you. Don't let you nor your lover get it twisted.

Daily Horoscope for Aquarius: March 10, 2021

Everything is not what it seems under today’s skies, Aquarius. A dream-like quality permeates the air, as the ego-building sun merges with fantastical Neptune this afternoon. This union has both gifts and curses to be mindful. On the one hand, it’s easy to fall into deceptive, escapist thoughts and to question your own validity. On the other, you’re able to pull down creative visions from the ether and bring them to life.
