i don't mind if the general public gets the podcast one day early, as long as patrons get it two days early.
2021-12-16 19:40:46 +0000 UTCI am all for giving everyone the episode One Day Early! I contribute because I like the show a lot I want everyone to get what I do!

2021-12-03 01:45:52 +0000 UTCThought I'd chime in and say: I also don't mind if everyone gets the podcast at the same time! I never really cared if I got it a day early because I'd end up listening to it later in the week anyway. xD
2021-12-01 20:41:56 +0000 UTCHey there guys and lads, just making sure to leave a comment to vote for dropping the one day early nonsense. Let's actually have the podcast one day late!
2021-12-01 18:30:56 +0000 UTCThat's what the Improv Zone's for, mate

2021-12-01 07:29:56 +0000 UTCI pretty much never listen to the podcast one day early…. But I would be sad for that little awkward bit in the show where you make the guest say it as if they were surprised to be gone. I’d get over it though. I’m sure you’ll come up with another awkward bit.

2021-12-01 00:50:36 +0000 UTCI gave Mute a shot a while ago because I loved Moon and while it is interesting, I really really hated it. Which is why I wasnt surprised at all when Tim said he liked it.

2021-12-01 00:04:26 +0000 UTCyou can plug the one-day-early "private rss" url into the iphone podcast app, presumably other podcast apps as well! having said that, i usually don't get to listen until tuesdays anyway lol

2021-11-30 23:46:46 +0000 UTCI listen on Tuesdays anyway because my schedule works out that way. I'm cool with giving everyone one day early, or giving Esper extra time.

2021-11-30 15:29:10 +0000 UTCOne day early: I like having it one day early although in practice I often end up listening to it on Tuesday anyway. I don't really listen to podcasts on the weekend so I usually have a backlog on Monday, and I'm kind of a stickler for listening to my podcasts in chronological order. However, getting it a day early does move it like five podcasts up the queue so I get to listen to it earlier.

2021-11-30 13:08:53 +0000 UTCYeah man I don't mind everybody getting stuff at the same time. I'm mostly throwin money dollars at this here patreon just cause insert credit is cool and good imo
Andrew Elmore
2021-11-29 21:51:09 +0000 UTCLet Esper's schedule be looser. I don't need that one day early. Also patreon's audio download UI sucks!
Sky
2021-11-29 19:25:12 +0000 UTCit tends to help to narrow it down at least a little - 360 to Wii is a pretty wide zone! but we could just do another 360 spectactular AND include PS3
insert credit
2021-11-29 19:02:13 +0000 UTCTo appease Tim, maybe you guys could consider doing a list of the best games of the 360/PS3/Wii era ;-)

2021-11-29 18:58:32 +0000 UTCI feel as though the bit is soon being retired and I'll stop if it is but One day early?!
