For me I think it might have been operator error.

2024-10-11 03:03:56 +0000 UTCI had the same problem. The only way I could get through the season in order was to: go to the main menu, scroll down until the collections tab appears, tap session 4, then scroll all the way down to find the next episode.

2024-10-11 02:27:17 +0000 UTCI know many have expressed diverse views about the flashback format of this season, but I, for one, loved it! What a great way to layer stories into the overall narrative. Thanks so much for this gem of a season and can't wait until the next! Till then, family....
Amy
2024-10-09 19:00:36 +0000 UTC"It's not FUNNY!" ....oh dear Jack

2024-09-05 13:50:29 +0000 UTCI’m afraid you’ll need to reach out to Patreon user support. This is a third party website. We’re not able to provide tech support.

2024-08-15 23:58:52 +0000 UTCI am unable to get to the beginning of season 4. I mistakenly listened to the last episode first. Cannot scroll past episode 50. Tried settings oldest to most recent. Forlorn and bereft, please help
Robert Massey
2024-08-15 23:57:54 +0000 UTCThank all the good AND pestilent gods! Marigold said what I've been SCREAMING all season!
Jennifer Battaglia
2024-08-15 13:11:41 +0000 UTCI just listened to this episode for the probably 10th time. That line "Indeed. Most entertaining" is so hilarious and perfectly voiced! I hold my breath for it every time.

Pat Bucchioni
2024-07-11 23:00:39 +0000 UTCI absolutely love Mr.J T Fields!! Great ending. Fantastic job!
Aniel Galloway
2024-06-30 17:12:55 +0000 UTCI thought I had but I will gleefully go back and get my answers. Thank you
Jessica T Cohen
2024-06-19 23:09:37 +0000 UTCDid you listen to episode 66?

2024-06-17 14:56:08 +0000 UTCIs Miss Harlow still being held at the Rock?
Jessica T Cohen
2024-06-17 14:55:39 +0000 UTCLovely.
Jill Flansburg
2024-06-11 11:59:26 +0000 UTCListen again.
DeepNerd Media
2024-06-11 03:35:51 +0000 UTCWhile there wasn't anyone for Jack to go back for, how did he find out? It is, of course, entirely possible that I missed that part.
Bill Henker
2024-06-11 00:53:25 +0000 UTCYou guys sure know how to keep your audience riveted! Great job! Safe travels and full halls in your tour.
Gail Mickley
2024-06-08 00:06:31 +0000 UTCI feel the exact same way. My personal opinion is that I don't even have the right to ask for anything special from this absolutely fantastic group of people. It's been nice chatting with you Robert, from now on I'm going to treat Patreon like Utube and keep my comments to myself. My wife would probably like that too. 🤣
Darrin Daw
2024-06-06 00:02:44 +0000 UTCCompletely understand! Definitely not a request, just love when Granny Underwood makes an appearance - apologies if it sounded demanding. Nothing but respect for the show, its creators, its cast, and community. ❤️
Oak
2024-06-05 23:08:44 +0000 UTCIt never pays to forget, stories have power. <3
Katthlean Burkhead
2024-06-05 19:39:07 +0000 UTCI continue to love The Underwoods, especially Marigold. But also, BAHAHAHAHA good ol' Jack. Gotta love that ol' bastard. GREAT ending to a great season.
Astra Kim
2024-06-04 01:37:31 +0000 UTCIt was just wishful thinking, nothing serious at all. It wasn't a request.
Darrin Daw
2024-06-03 23:46:41 +0000 UTCFolks, as we've explained in various places before, our cast members are not full time employees. We cannot command their participation at a whim, or every time someone makes a request (another reason we don't take requests), nor can we afford to do so.
DeepNerd Media
2024-06-03 22:46:31 +0000 UTCDude that's a great idea! I could get some good sleeping done.
Darrin Daw
2024-06-03 22:32:45 +0000 UTCLOVE Granny Underwood! Her voice always makes me wish we could get a “Granny reads”
Oak
2024-06-03 20:38:23 +0000 UTCIt would certainly make for one hell of a night on the town hanging with those folk 😂
Oak
2024-06-03 20:34:47 +0000 UTCShoot! Now I gotta go back and listen again! I was like “oh boy… Jack is already souring some other relationships 😬”
Oak
2024-06-03 20:31:44 +0000 UTCYou are incorrect. Did you listen to episode 66?
DeepNerd Media
2024-06-03 19:14:28 +0000 UTCIdk bout y’all, but I think Mr. Fields forgot something (or rather someone) in the jail…. 👀
Robert Weiss
2024-06-03 16:50:50 +0000 UTCBest ending ever!
Cinder Sue
2024-06-03 03:48:43 +0000 UTCWhat Marigold says to Hiram Cook though 👀🚪
Derek Heckman
2024-06-02 23:59:24 +0000 UTCEnded up not quite fitting the direction we took with the season.
DeepNerd Media
2024-06-02 21:29:07 +0000 UTCY’all sure can land a damn ending, can’t you? Just stellar stuff. Congratulations. 🖤
vincent
2024-06-02 21:26:08 +0000 UTCGreat episode. Y'all always bring it hard for the season finales (even more than you always do). Quick question about season 4, though: in the prologue, when you talk about the things going back to Jack, you mention "a young man returning home from war, hoping to find somewhere quiet where he can forget the things that he has seen...and done." It didn't seem like there was anything about that; did I just miss something, or did that one not make it in/get cut from running out of time or something?
Jovon
2024-06-02 19:53:28 +0000 UTCI'll see you in Milwaukee! Looking so forward to it!
Denise Chorne
2024-06-02 01:01:04 +0000 UTCI want to be friends with skin't tom, Jack, and Lavinia.... does that make me a sociopath? 😅👻🖤

2024-05-31 22:34:18 +0000 UTCWhat a delight. Thank y'all very much for this.
cpip
2024-05-31 22:15:44 +0000 UTCWOW!!!!! I have NEVER applauded, cackled, and screamed with delight while listening to an episode!!! All within a span of 5 seconds! Security looked a little concerned…. I thought I was safe in my car. 😳🤭 Thank you so much Cam and Steve! I know it’s “just a story” but it feels so real to me. Thank you!

2024-05-31 19:09:22 +0000 UTCBeautiful dog. We love animals around here.
Darrin Daw
2024-05-31 18:35:43 +0000 UTCAlways did have a soft spot for the tricksters, and my grandaddy used to tell us Jack tales, so yes of course he's my favorite.
Aine Hawthorn
2024-05-31 18:11:06 +0000 UTCMost excellent!
Bryan Smith
2024-05-31 12:40:55 +0000 UTCAlso— SO EXCITED for Patreon exclusive stories this summer, as well as the show. I’ll be at Chicago’s show with a few others in the family!
Summershan
2024-05-31 04:27:57 +0000 UTCI marval at the talent and creativity of Steve and Cam. To build such a story world and have so many just sitting on the edge of our seats. I love you all take care family.
Cassandra Stepro
2024-05-31 00:35:04 +0000 UTCWow the season 4 finale was just wow. The lore reveal and that climax. You guys never disappoint🥰 can't wait for season5
WyamondWolf
2024-05-31 00:17:31 +0000 UTCThis episode had more delicious twists than a fresh order of garlic knots! Had to come back for seconds haha! Congratulations on another incredible season! ❤️
Philip Brown
2024-05-30 20:34:11 +0000 UTCCan’t wait to see y’all in Durham! I’m constantly impressed with the quality of storyline, character development and execution. You are a delight to this old granny lady.
Marcia McCord
2024-05-30 20:26:57 +0000 UTCI couldn't agree more. Sometimes Goldie Underwood's voice reminds me of my little grandmother Nelly. She's been gone almost 30 years I remember her. This podcast has become a part of my journey.
Darrin Daw
2024-05-30 18:50:47 +0000 UTCNot at all. Dougie is WAY too smart to mess with an entity like Jack!
Sean Mahon
2024-05-30 18:29:33 +0000 UTCCan I please take a moment to say we need to appreciate the TALENT AND BRILLIANCE OF MR. STEVE SHELL!!!!! All the narration and all the different voices he does always blows me away. SO good Sir, you do this so well, and I thank you for it. Your work brings these amazing stories to life!
Summershan
2024-05-30 18:28:25 +0000 UTCYup! This season was full of my faves— Underwoods, Walkers and Jack!!
Summershan
2024-05-30 18:24:27 +0000 UTCI start over from the very beginning and re-listen to the whole thing from the beginning. Always something new to discover!

Pam Sanford
2024-05-30 17:49:59 +0000 UTCI like to try and predict how something is gonna come to an end. I'm aways looking for whodunnit. I thought I had it figured out. I thought I knew how this was gonna end. I was wrong. And I thank you for that. Predictability makes for boring stories and books. This was FAR from predictable. :)
Crystal White
2024-05-30 17:01:52 +0000 UTCSo many emotions tied up in such a short time! Excellent job on the wrap-up 💚 And in the words of the super talented Cam: Go Dawgs!

Caolifhionne
2024-05-30 14:08:40 +0000 UTCWell now I didn't see that coming. In the words of Jed Clampett. Welll Doggies! Wasn't that something.
Cypher Onyx
2024-05-30 14:04:34 +0000 UTCI definitely didn't see that ending. Well done you guys! Such a great season.

Tiffany
2024-05-30 13:13:39 +0000 UTCHow many of y'all around here have Mr . J. T. Fields as your favorite character?

Suzy Milktoast
2024-05-30 06:19:52 +0000 UTCThis was soooo good. I had no idea I needed supernatural courtroom drama in my life, and this was the perfect ending for it. Love
Helen Miyaki
2024-05-30 04:27:27 +0000 UTCI don’t ever comment on anything. But wow. This was amazing. I got Patreon last year just for Old Gods of Appalachia and it has been worth every penny. I wish I lived closer to see you all live. I will be (not so) patiently waiting for next season
Kelsey Brown
2024-05-30 04:16:50 +0000 UTCAbsolutely incredible ending to season 4
Luke Browning
2024-05-30 03:24:51 +0000 UTCNow to listen to the season again!
Emilia27
2024-05-30 03:15:47 +0000 UTCThe perfect ending to an amazing season. I hope we will hear more of the young friends we've met along the way eventually, but for now it's on to the pleasures of Summer. Safe travels and good times until we gather together at Halloween, if not sooner!

2024-05-30 02:54:50 +0000 UTCWOOOOO! This was great! 🥰💜

Violet Farraday
2024-05-30 02:18:07 +0000 UTCRandom thoughts that went through my brain as I listened to this episode. "It'd be hilarious if 'Dougie Walker' just randomly started hexing people. But I suppose that's a Cam thing and not a DW Walker thing." "Uh, duh, dummy." (Sung) "It's you. Hi, you're the problem it's you." "'Good morning, Jack.' 'Good morning, Doc.' 'Do you like my hat, Jack?' 'I do like your hat, Doc. I like your party hat.'" Or I might have had more specific thoughts that I can't exactly express because they could be spoilers and I'm determined not to spoil anything. This has been a great season and this was a great supervised episode.

2024-05-30 02:03:48 +0000 UTCOh that was so good. And the tie back to way near the beginning was perfect.

Courtenay
2024-05-29 23:42:32 +0000 UTCI'd been waiting all day for this episode, so I had to listen immediately after it popped up. That ending was incredible and I love how Granny Underwood's testimony ended. I can't decide which one between her and Glory Ann Boggs reminds me more of my own (great)Granny

2024-05-29 22:42:21 +0000 UTCAs I type this, I can't stop smiling! You guys are such a joy and inspiration! As a West Virginia native and transplant to Raleigh, these stories speak to El Rio Abajo Rio in my soul. I am writing books about a town I invented in WV, not horror but Southern Gothic/Magical Realism. I LOVED hearing your Tale of Mr. Poe. I CAN'T WAIT to see you guys in DURHAM very soon! :)
