Craig Walker

To be honest - watching in 360 would only be beneficial for those who had the technical ability to watch in that format - so giving people a choice would be best I think.

Kat TheCardboardKitty

The guy on the wall over AJ’s left shoulder is Art Bell. They have similar face shapes, and similar glasses.

Steven Chell

One fine with 1 angle

Patrick Landers

I’m interested in the equipment you guys use to record too!

Fizzgig

You know I would watch anything you guys put out! You could record the paint drying and I would watch till the end. Hahaha!

Meekokitty

Yes do it

Gods Demon

If you think it would be fun for you the go for it. I'm happy how things are. As a creator, if this helps you from not being burnt out, then do it.

Deirdre a greene

I would love the 360. Aside from real estate I have not seen a 360 .

Daniel Boucher

No need for 360 for me. How you do the show now is brilliant and part of why I love it and became a Patreon member. The occasion 360 stints, sure. But for the show itself, I hope you keep its current format! I get motion-sick easy, lol.

David Butcher

AJ I just wanted to thank you for all you do. You make my evenings enjoyable after a long days work and Hecklefish is allways good for some laughs.

Robert wilson

I have an idea for a show and I don’t know where else to send it to you…. Could you do your own take on Jack the Ripper? I would like to see your thoughts and take on Jack the Riper. Just an idea.

Robert wilson

Hi AJ and Hecklefish I hope you’re having a good week so far…

Thanatos

Looking forward to the longform podcast tomorrow. What time will it drop around? As for quality, it takes time, my favorite podcast is probably one of the longest running weekly podcast by Scott Sigler, he's been going strong since around 2011 and even his first ones needed to be reworked down the road. The Why Files wil only get better and better.

Murph

I don't really care if you do it, but if you did I would watch.

Linda Burns

Whatever that you decide, A.J., my hubs ,Joe, and I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT "WHY FILES"!! After all my husband's mug says that "Hecklefish" is his spirit animal... We are "WHY FILES " groupies and tell EVERYONE to watch your wonderful, funny, so informative, honest show..

Linda Bonnell

How about occasionally, making the decision on a suited particular video?

BigMamaD

Just don’t need any “Blair Witch” camera work please 😆

Bill Mahoney

How about from inside hecklefish's bowl with audio adjusted accordingly. Full immersion.

Kazren

I don't want to put more work on your shoulders, so only do it if YOU want to.

champagne 63

I am ok with either one or the other. It’s a very entertaining and educational channel. Thank you! Just a suggestion: just once!Could hecklefish host a show ?

Paul Hutt

As mentioned, if it doesn't take too much effort then yes a 360 would be fun but the most important thing for me is your research, it's second to none, the editing, the humour, the real fact that we feel part of a wider family and have watched you grow. As for Victoria's feet?? 🤣 Sending love from the UK.

Bruce Campbell

Sounds like fun. Im having a great Sunday. I live in the future, its called Oz, lol

evals

sounds like something that might be fun to do once in a while. one angle is plenty for me

MikeD

I believe it will be an option. You won't be forced to watch it, at least for the regular episodes.

Bosco Lemonzit

Going against the grain, I’d much rather see the time and money spent on the quality programming than on voyeurism

Stephanie Reid-Noe

❤️❤️

SarahLeightonCraigGater

Is this really the best way to handle this? 😬 -quote. Reply Yes as it gets people to be aware. That Juniper aren't great. I'm not blaming the why files team......yet. So this the polite response I could give to... Is this really the best way to handle this? 😬

Joe Ragu

Sure why not? I enjoy watching live streams. I’m so tired of the reruns and the repeats and the fakes and phonies and the pre-records. It’s nice watching content in Real time!

Karen Hiller

Yes to both options.

Julia Fox

This sounds fun AJ- thanks for taking the time- you are so creative!

Trish Edwards

Great job on The UnXplained Friday! I jumped up and pointed excitedly at the TV.

Joshua Chavez

Yes! Would love to see it!

CJ Jones

If it wasn't too much trouble I'd love to see a 360 view of your studios, however, I'd only wish to do so if it didn't take away from the great content you are creating for the channel!

S Henson

I would try it

Tash & Andy

Make sure your device is connected to wifi and have your chromecast connected and setup then when you watch paetron video there should be a little cast icon click that and your away and laughing that's if you have chromecast if not steps should be pretty similar anyway hope it helps

Skinny Piglet

Love to see a more intimate view of the process. It’s perhaps sad that I work a lot and my Why Files connection adds to what little social interaction & entertainment I get weekly, would enjoy the 360. For those with negative views… the haters gonna hate… disregard. You’re on the right track. Maybe hybrid? Some 360 and some regular?

Todd Twilley

Never seen a 360 where you didn't essentially just watch one angle all the time anyway. It's kind of a pointless tech.

The Neoborn Caveman Show

would be great fun to look around Hecklefish and maybe two-three cam angles on average but other than some occasional fun, I see no point of it. Of course if it is a new fiction series with AJ and the lizzid people chased co-host with his camel, then it's different... ;)

SarahLeightonCraigGater

I don't want to see the studio considering my orders haven't arrived my plushie for one. I'm not impressed with why files distributions. THANK THE LIZARD PEEPLE they have AJ otherwise we would leave. ASAP. I contacted Juniper and put a note in. Useless. Pre ordered hecklefish on first day pre orders could go out. So NO I don't want to see a new fancy studio brought with cash from items you didn't come through with.

Gary Scott Wishart

Agreed

Gary Scott Wishart

I love seeing the tours of the studio.

MikeD

I agree. Use 360 for certain type of events, such as a tour, maybe even for an After Files as an option to flip back and forth, but not for the actual episodes.

MikeD

Ashley, it might be something worth having during an After Files just to flip back and forth when the mood strikes. I don't believe I'd use it constantly, but I would on occasion.

Simon

A 360 tour would be awesome ! But I'd recommend doing it after the studio is all ready and looking fishing good. With members of the team fighting lizzid people or filming the moon landing in different rooms hehe. That'd be epic !

Aubrey Cordova

A 360 tour would be cool

Tamara Longman

A tour in 360 would be cool, but episodes are great with one angle.

Jennifer Morrison

Really, I’ll watch whatever you want to film. Love you guys!

Mathias Boerjan

360 degrees of vision... that way you can either watch it on tv, and look around by dragging the mouse, or you can watch it with VR goggles,and move your head to look around.. here's a youtube example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNAbQYU0wpg

VergeOfChaos

A tour would be nice- but not really full episodes in 360

Brenda H

I will watch anything and everything you want to put out there. Your content is the best, just tell me when to tune in.

Rox

Any which way you like AJ, just keep pumping out the BEST show anywhere!💥

thormusique

Just as long as I don't have to look at the arse-end of Hecklefish, cuz ya know...

Jayme Pace

I like all of your content. I look forward to it every week. Keep up the great work.

Cherie Miller

I would watch anything you guys make. You and your team are the best show in my whole week!. Can't wait for the clunky but awesome podcast!

Keith Hoofard

A 360 tour of the place, yes. Episodes in 360, no.

John DeSantis

Yes Please and Thank You AJ, Jen, Gino, Victoria and WhyFiles Team!

The Sisko

I don't care for 360 in this format that is presented for episodes... unless you're talking about even more niche VR. 100% would be amazeballs to be sitting in the studio with you, 1 on 1, for any story.

The Starry Knight

AJ, I was half watching Shatner's "The Unexplained" when I heard your voice. I looked up and saw you on the show. Grats. Nice going.

Melanie Jo Simms

I dont know what 360 is so I cant really vote.

Lori M

I would enjoy seeing behind the scenes.

Augusta Shurburtt

I like both so it really wouldn’t bother me too much either way. The show is great the way it is

Kelley Ballew

I have actually been wanting a peek at the new place!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Greg Toth

I have Oculus AND fancy new TCL VR glasses so 360 is definitely me.

Jackson

I use a Screen cast app.

Jackson

Poor Victoria! But you should keep her busy. I hear she has too much free time as it is, so therefore, capacity to do more. From blowing on HF's coffee to wrangling all the staff! Would all grind to a halt without her!

Arminius

Can' wait to see your "Adam & Eve Story (...as in Chan Thomas?). One of the most fascinating theories of our day. YouTuber "Mario Buildreps" has also done tremendous research and graphic studies that lend much credit to this concept.

Arminius

Very excited to hear your "Adam & Eve Story" (....as in Chan Thomas I assume). I strongly recommend that article. It's free (pdf) from the CIA homepage. Just do a Google search and it will take you straight to it.

Jeff Weeks

Is Hecklefish's tinfoil hat shinier from the tail end? Love the show as is but im happy with whatever you fire our way.

Joe Little

I just voted yes and got the yes total to 69%. YAHTZEE! (yes I am a 52 year old child).

Jim Bunch

I’m like you. Love this stuff

JEFF BLACK

Hell yeah! I like seeing 360 tours of places. It gives me sense of the surroundings, which enhances my enjoyment of whatever I'm watching.

George Kuhn

I had not even heard of "360". Would it make the stories any more relevant? I doubt it. Why bother?

Jose Zayas

I still can't figure out how to cast my patreon to my TV

Jose Zayas

I'm willing to check it out. I don't really know too much about that

Colin Butterworth

I'll watch whatever you want to show me. I'll just add, that we would probably go nuts for a constant webcam in the breakroom lol We love the show and everything about it!

Rosa Meza

My husband and I will watch no matter what you do.... please just keep the great work you are already doing. We love your show.

TheArchess

I have been checking it out since day one as well as the the "Easter Egg" placed around the studio. :)

TheArchess

It is Bob Lazar. :)

TheArchess

That's an awesome idea!

TheArchess

The fish eye lens is an interesting idea. Love it.

Susan H

Would love a tour of the studio...and any other 360 videos that you care to share. Thanks!

TheArchess

Agreed!

Jacob Mahr

please spend your time into the content quality and not 360 views

Tash & Andy

I mean 360 would be kinda cool and we would watch it but if it wasn't available it wouldn't concern us its perfect the way it is now 🙂

Mathias Boerjan

Sounds cool! If i watch it through my VR goggles, it'll be like i'm right there with you 😄

Joe Theriault

I mean 360 sounds cool, but I'm here for the cool stories and Hecklefush's antics!

Katelyn England

Oh I see

Katelyn England

What episode?

Kat TheCardboardKitty

Hey, have you done an episode about Australian folklore like the Bunyip or Yowie? How about the Hawai’ian Menehune? Don’t call Menehune folklore though, or you might get dragged like I did in a tiki community 😂

Karl poff

UFO sighting on Friday the 13th witnessed by people from Altus OK to Austin TX.

Karl poff

Either or is it either? Both!

Davey_D

Okay, drag me out of the dark ages here. What is 360?

Katelyn England

We, my wife and I, love all the videos but what we really look forward to is longer videos. As long as making 360 doesn’t take away time from making longer episodes then sure but if it does I would say don’t fix what ain’t broken

7Heather7

Also very excited for the podcasts! I always relished to afterfiles while I work. The podcasts will be great listening when I can’t view things but only listen.

Kevin Heidler

You could read the dictionary and we would probably all watch it, so, whatever you want to try out, we're in.

7Heather7

I assume that’s best or only usable on a computer to view the angles? I think it might be a lot of work for little reward if that’s the case? Maybe special episodes in 360 where you hide things and if someone finds all the things they get a discount at the store? Just thinking out loud.

Jason Sanford

Almost as much as I care about MH370 😏🛬💥 (see Ashton Forbes on Twitter, TRUST ME) can't wait for the episode 😁🤞

Dennis Brekke

Maybe you could press each episode on 200g DDM virgin black vinyl cut at 45rpm.

Meatblocker

I'd watch it either way. 360 sounds fun though.

W

This is true-😂but with all of the topics covered by the why files...let’s just say most of us think differently...😁

The Why Files

I saw that, Beau! That was Reggie Watts. We were also on a few weeks ago when Joe was talking about giants but they just showed the channel. They didn't mention us by name.

Mark william lane

We are always going in circles at this channel so let’s keep it real, lol sounds fun, give it a spin . A fish eye lens available for the Heckelfish perspective in 3D? Talking in circles so let the show begin.

Charles Hunter

Could we just try it out once or twice? I'd hate to commit to watching it, and it turns out crummy.

Jimov

Same here! One of my most favourite channels and the first time I've ever done a Patreon.

The Why Files

HA... you make a good point, John.

The Why Files

Good eye! That's a card from the "Go Hecklefish!" card game. 🤓

beau stanley

Sure a clip showing the new office would be great and congratulations on doing so well, by the way were you aware that the Why files was mentioned on Joe Rogan a couple of days ago when I watched it by his guest, so I know that you are on there yourself in the past and that was a cool episode as well but that was a while ago and I know it was for a different reason, so I was just curious if you were aware of the fact that the why files got an honorable mention on one of the recent Rogan podcasts. Anyway, keep doing what you're doing, my son and I love your show.

Kat TheCardboardKitty

Art Bell

MAGGIE MCCALL

Excited about the podcasts!

Miyo

What about after files 360 round table so we can see you all sitting and hang out together? 🥰

Thunderball

Yuck. I want the chef to prepare my meals. I might want to adjust the volume or brightness, but other than that I want you guys telling stories and setting the scene! not me. Unless you hire me.

MAGGIE MCCALL

I like everything y'all do. The bright spot in my life! I do want an Obviously Aliens t shirt too.

Joan Robinson

Missed that one too!

Ashley

I guess it would be neat once but I don't see the lasting appeal.

John Seychel

Don't have much else to do.

Eric

Hell yeah

Kat TheCardboardKitty

His name is Jacob, and he has a travel channel that is pretty unique and fun. At the three dollar level he’ll send you a postcard each month from one of the places that he has been to within that month. Usually the quirkiest place. Here’s his YT… https://m.youtube.com/@TheCarpetbagger

Nicholas Case

Who is the guy who looks like Herman Munster that's always been on the wall? Bob Lazar... Idk...

Vincent Marziale

Your style and execution is always on point, 360 isn’t required but it’s fun. I’d enjoy it for a sometimes take.

Joan Robinson

A little off topic but I can’t believe it took me so long to notice the lizzid Elvis on your bulletin board!

Gavin Evans

Perhaps a deeper 3D dive into Hecklefish’s hide out

The Why Files

CARLOOOOOSSSSS!!!

julian faulkner

If I beg will you do an episode on the similarity between spring healed jack in the uk and the moth man? Pleeeeeeease.

The Why Files

360 let's you view content from whatever angle you want. So if I put the camera next to me during the stream, you could see me, or see what I'm looking at, or spin around and see the rest of the studio.

Kat TheCardboardKitty

Show us how you do Hecklefish. Not *that* way… and nothing that involves a camel.

The Why Files

I'm also not a foot guy. But - for some reason - her feet get a lot of attention on the stream.

The Why Files

HAHA

The Why Files

I never heard of the Carpetbagger. Can you link me? And tell me more. I like the sound of this!

Kat TheCardboardKitty

It really is. WF is by far the best produced channel out of several I subscribe to on YT.

The Why Files

I like the way you think, Max.

The Why Files

Genius

Carlos Lamas

I want to see feet in 360 view

The Why Files

I'd love to see it!

The Why Files

Yeah, he sounded a little weird. We used a new mic this week. I'm going back to the old one.

Kat TheCardboardKitty

I’m going to vote yes, but not totally sure. I don’t watch livestreams or poke around discord because I spend too much time in front of screens and trying to pull back. Have you considered offering a monthly postcard like the Carpetbagger does? His are locations, but yours could be topics. The hubs is a graphic designer and could toss one together for you.

Spencer Pyle

Sounds like fun! Count me in!

Steve Gold

I like the 360 view I think you should slow it down a little, it appears you have a lot of very cool stuff I’d like to take it all in

Max Schaffer

It would be amazing if you had a string board of your team's research like behind the camera, and little easter eggs around the studio... Im sure I'm not the only one to pay attention to the board behind you in the episodes... You're on to something

Tim Paterson

You guys always make my day 😆

Scott Harris

Sounds like a great idea

Wes Broussard

360 in the fish bowl. 👌

FNōRDiskōrd Rekörds

Only if I can show you our record store once the demolition and remodel is finished 😉 Seriously though, I would love to see how y’all have it set up.

Kevin Gordon

Don't be you did great. We watch the show every week and I hurried up and took a pic and sent it to my sister. I was excited. I was hey I know that guy. Even though I really don't.

Amy_OnlyForHecklefish

Clunky and 360 is more than welcome! Victoria's feet not so much. LOL! We do adore Victoria, though. 😉

julian faulkner

What’s happened to heckle fishes voice it’s different?

Meadeo23

As long as the content you create is at your normal level there is no need for 360. With that said might add an interesting aspect to some topics if it is incorporated properly.

Jonny Moses

Hiya, anything WF related is fantastic but only if you have the energy to set it up. Don't have a burn out by overdoing it. J

Ashley

What is the point of 360?

Shanon Freeman

Either way, I'm watching!!

W

Enjoy all you do...but foot cam is not on my bucket list. I know...I’m weird for not being infatuated with Victoria’s feet...I just don’t always follow the cool kids...

Andrew Ellis

It won’t be clunky , will be fun

The Why Files

I haven't seen that yet. I'm nervous, Kevin.

Jimov

I'd love this, but honestly just happy with what you guys do already! Content is top notch as it is!

The Why Files

HAAAAA

TheArchess

I love the idea. Sounds like a lot of fun. 😊

The Why Files

It's gonna be clunky, P!

Gina Stryker

Everything Heckle Fish does is great (Lol) 360 will be fun

JimmyJames

In addition to the 360 cam, I vote for a Victoria foot cam.

The Why Files

Same to you, Rick!

Finney’s Fosters

I vote for the 360 cam during the Afterfiles! Just no feet please…

Rameal Zoobalan

Put the camera in Hecklefish's bowl so we can see his perspective

Mhayen

Nice thx aj 360 should be pretty cool

Andrew Ellis

100%

Dennis Brekke

Maybe… but if it takes extra time/resources away from new content, not necessary.

Elise

😎You Betcha Awesome 💯👍🏻👊

Kevin Gordon

Saw you on the history Channel talking about the chronovisor. Very cool.

MikeD

Silly question. Of course you know we’ll watch in 360! Perhaps set up a 360 camera on Gino. We know there’s a mysterious life going on there that could be a Netflix miniseries. .
