Dear Temple Of Goo readers,

Today I am providing an update on the Good Goo Radio project.

The streaming schedule has been changed from bi-weekly to weekly, starting today. The Good Goo Radio will stream only once a week, that is every Sunday at 5pm EST.

The reason why I decided to reduce the number of streaming sessions from two to one per week is because I noticed that the Wednesday streams tend to get less views than the Sunday ones. Furthermore, I realized I shouldn’t spam users’ YouTube feeds too much, hence I felt like one weekly stream is probably more appropriate so as to not get people fed up with the same thing being presented to them too often.

Speaking of YouTube, the latter has been hammering down on copyrighted material harder than usual during the past weeks. I’ve already had two streaming sessions blocked by its system due to copyright infringement. Initially, Good Goo Radio was supposed to feature 15 songs per session, but that was not feasible as YouTube’s algorithms were killing it due to too many copyrighted songs being included in a single video. That led me to reduce the number to 10 songs per session, which seemed to be the sweet spot in order to not have streaming sessions removed. Despite the latter change, I still notice videos can get blocked and removed automatically.

We’ll see what happens in the future. Due to the nature of the program, I am bound to include copyrighted material in those streaming sessions. If at a certain point YouTube decides even 10 mere songs per video are too much in terms of copyright infringements, I’m afraid the project will have to be put on hold.
