Bonus episodes
Added 2020-07-30 22:39:44 +0000 UTCHey folks! We've got bonus episodes coming real soon here. I'm wondering how you all feel about whether they should be patron-only, or eventually unlock, or what.
I'm sort of inclined to keep them patrons-only since they're definitely for the more dedicated listeners (it's all our outside-show banter, basically, life updates, games we've been playing that aren't discussed on the show, etc). But I (brandon) wonder if folks would feel differently about that, so I'm soliciting your thoughts!
What think y'all?

I would be fine with bonus episodes being unlocked, yea!

2020-10-11 07:46:07 +0000 UTCI listen to another pod that only airs a 1/4 of their bonus eps for everyone, with the remaining of the ep being behind the gate/pay wall Thanks, y'all. Happy to have the pod back.

2020-08-04 02:06:41 +0000 UTCWe've thought about it some!! I (brandon) have thought about a couple live shows that might be fun to do on the side as well. I'll keep thinking about this!

2020-08-03 18:29:55 +0000 UTCIt'd be for all patrons, we haven't really wanted to gate too much behind tiers, though I will say that has resulted in us mostly having the lowest tier! That's okay though, we'd rather have a large number of patrons at a smaller level of contribution ultimately.

2020-08-03 18:28:27 +0000 UTCQuick question, would this be for all Patreons or would it be locked by tier?

2020-08-03 15:08:03 +0000 UTCHave you thought about doing live streams exclusively for patrons? That might be a fun thing to do and keep just for us.

2020-08-01 02:27:59 +0000 UTCOkay - sounds like what we should do is have them initially patreon-only, and then they can be unlocked a couple months afterward. The extra treat for folks on patreon will be figuring out which episodes which banter came from, ha ha.

2020-07-31 21:47:24 +0000 UTCechoing what some others have said: i think keeping them exclusive for a little bit and then unlocking to the public is a good idea, but i also have no problem with them being public to the start!

2020-07-31 07:11:38 +0000 UTCIt's probably a good idea to keep them Patron-only, though I wouldn't mind eventually unlocking all or some of the episodes for the people. Y'all keep on rocking.

2020-07-31 01:23:27 +0000 UTCi would give you guys money if there were no benefits at all, so I'm up for whatever. I think probably waiting a few months to release them would probably be the smart move -- and it's what lots of other podcasts tend to do. would also be nice to have them available elsewhere in the event that you guys someday decide to stop using patreon and i haven't saved any backups, which has happened with one podcast I used to listen to -- no way to access their patreon only stuff anymore.
Sam
2020-07-31 01:23:11 +0000 UTCI wouldn't feel shortchanged if they were made public. Whatever you determine helps the show I'd support
yeso
2020-07-31 00:51:52 +0000 UTCJohn Beyer really hit the nail on the head! I came here to say basically the same thing.
2020-07-31 00:14:23 +0000 UTCIβm torn. If having patreon only episodes helps build the patreon, then yes. If having more content helps build then brand of Insert Credit, then do that. Essentially, I would vote for whatever keeps this podcast in this current style alive and going!
