    That breaks my heart, I love the hell out of you John, but I really can't afford that, I always listen to you through Spotify and that's like all I can afford, non the less I love you buddy and I'm happy you're moving forward. You guys matter so much and you and your content mean the world to me. I'm proud of you. I hope it works out.

    I’ve been a long time fan. Watched every video, listened to every podcast. And I don’t think moving all of the podcast episodes to Amazon music will be as rewarding in both popularity and financially. I hope I’m wrong. And I hope nothing but the best as you continue to grow. I’m just nervous about this big contract. But of course, I hope nothing but the best for you

    One of the main things I like about your videos is that there isn't fancy special effects etc The low budget compared to a show like Unsolved Mysteries helps to make it feel like we are just hanging out together at a house party and telling stories. I think thats what hooked me in and feeling like your were an average guy next door as well as as the people following you, it feels like a community having an experience. You know how you have your favourite band you see every Friday and then they get really big and play in big stadiums and you feel so less close to them. The fancier stuff kind of separates you from them somehow. I am sure it won't need to pan out that way with your deal and hopefully you continue to offer something truely original which truely connects to peoples hearts which you have been doing so well. Thanks for your videos and hard work.

      Yeah.... Amazon music is less popular than Audible, unless you mean that they are the same thing. I'm not sure about these brand things. But I kinda don't understand the point of going into Music, when you are already on Audible which is adapted to podcast format... But anyway, I hope you will be able to grow while remaining faithful to your tradition.

    I literally discovered this channel at a point of my life where I was at my lowest, and going through a tragic loss. My baby boy was still born, and then I was laid off from my great high paying job legit the first day we got out of the hospital. It was 2020 & Covid was in full effect. I discovered MrBallen while in the hospital after the still birth, and we were in there for 4 days. I started to binge watch his videos with my girlfriend, and once we got out I just still could not stop. I have seen EVERY SINGLE VIDEO, and EVERY SINGLE PODCAST. Your story telling helped me get through an impossibly tough time, and I am so damn happy & proud to see you getting all the love, respect, recognition, and awesome opportunities that will be sure to keep you highly paid. You deserve this more than any other creator that I could possibly think of. Proud of you brother, keep up the great work. You’re the 🐐

      Sorry to you and your misses for your loss, that's so heartbreaking and then to lose your job on top of that, well....I have no words.
      As to what you said about MrBallen I 100% agree, I've been here since before 200,000 subs so relatively early on, watching this channel grow has been just as enjoyable as watching his content, John, like you said too is like no other creator in this genre, his ability to tell a story is so unique and I don't think anybody else approaches it like he does.
      He doesn't just say the facts of the matter nor does he fill in anything with airy fairy assumptions, he tells a story and there is a difference betweentelling a story and just speaking words, he builds it up and up and up, many times I've caught myself sitting there with my mouth wide open barely blinking or breathing just waiting omg then I realise what I'm doing and have a giggle.
      I do miss the more than 1 upload on his main channel but as the old adage says "quality over quantity"
      Good luck to you and I hope your future is better than the heartache you and your partner have experienced in recent years.

    REALLY appreciate the clarity here. It's pretty natural for fans to wonder how future content is going to be affected when creators make announcements like this, but so often creators forget to address these concerns and leave people confused. Very glad to hear in no uncertain terms that classic Mr. Ballen content isn't going anywhere, but also I'm really excited to see what Ballen Studios will have in store in the future because of this partnership!
