Hello listeners of The Bret Easton Ellis Podcast! We are launching a $5 reward tier tonight; a "Gold Membership" for those so inclined. Gold Membership gets you new episodes two days before the basic $1.50 pledge accesses them, and you get AT LEAST ten more minutes of B.E.E. Podcast bonus action in each new show! We just want to give you all the chance to throw a little extra honey our way in exchange for a bigger slice of that sweet podcast pie we love serving you up. Your regular $1.50 pledge still gets you access to the new episodes, so if you're not feeling "golden" you can continue listening to new shows at no additional cost. Next new episode comes out TOMORROW (5/1) for Golden Members, and on THURSDAY (5/3) for the regular pledge of $1.50. We are so thrilled to be back doing shows. We love you intensely. You keep the podcast rockin'. You are all incredibly good-looking and please don't ever change!

Feeling totally glamorous as a Gold Member! ♥️ you guys!

Erik

Shut up and take my money!

David Schur

OK I am a sucker, but I paid my $5

Dustin

I'm golden.

Mitch Jordan

Is it a one off pledge of $5? or $5 a week/month?

James Reeves

‘For good or ill’ (HS Thompson) - reading some of the early posts - this is a low-level intelligence test of your audience. Cheers!

Andrew

What a complete & utter dick move.

Raffi N

I would have bought it but don’t see it posted and have looked all over the app so I will wait until Thursday

Maybe if you included show notes. Also Andy, not sure your pitch above was very Bret worthy, come on mate!

Ryan

I don’t mind paying but I have never seen a more confusing site. I’ve already paid 5 bucks and don’t see the new podcast. Wtf .

Andrew

No I mean the fact I signed up for a podcast at a fixed price & then a week later I can't access it when it's released because of a new tiered system. I can understand staggered releasing podcasts if it was free but I'm paying for the content.

Andrew

Wouldn't be here Paul if I wasn't a fan but feel we're having the piss taken out of us. We've went from a free model to a two-tiered scenerio in the space of a week. Why should we be expected to pay for delayed content?

Andrew

Yeah but you make it sound like we should be grateful-we're paying for the thing. Today's newspaper is wrapped around tomorrow's fish & chips.

The Bret Easton Ellis Podcast

Not even close to the same thing as a newspaper. Podcasts are released once every 2 weeks. A two day difference isn't going to leave you out of the conversation. It's up to you if you want to be grateful or not. Bret works really hard on this podcast.

I'm going to wait and see on this one. I love Bret and the podcast - particularly now that you've dropped the guests (as entertaining as SOME of them may have been) - but all of this media across all of the various platforms, well, the shit tots up! For now my €1.50 per pod is yours. If the quality of the solo podcast is maintained you will have earned a new Gold Member. I look forward to being convinced!

Bad Habbit

I don't think that he's dropped guests completely, I just think it's more that the show will go on guest or no. I think that's great.

David Bryce Martin

Don't mind paying tbh but this website and the tiered system introduced is so damn confusing I'm about to forget about all of it.

James Reeves

As I said in an earlier post: “low-level intelligence test of your audience” I’m a 47-year-old tech non-savvy barely literate and was able - on 1st attempt - to follow the basic instructions. COME ON PEOPLE!!!

Podcast is like the NBA, I love this game!
