Not much in the way of bonus material this week, so apologies for that. But you do get to hear Heath quit the sponsor...

How can we support you without using Patreon?

Sarah Fullerton

I'm confused about the clerical error. Is that clerical as the clerk made a mistake or the government cleric made an interpretation mistake?

Vincent Jorgensen

Second this. Patreon's new fee schedule isn't amenable to me. Plus, I question the legality of just applying the new fee schedule without explicit authorization from me--it reminds me of other scum-bag behavior like telemarketers and the home shopping network. Unless Patreon changes this, I'm sorry, but I won't be able to patronize Puzzle in a Thunderstorm, LLC via this platform :-(

Hey guys, I just added up my usual Patreon donation, rounded it up, then changed my donation to be that per episode. Then was sneaky and marked it as a once per month donation to save the fees - hopefully that works out on both our ends. If you get less, I need to change things, bc I don't want that to happen, but I also have to budget pretty tight, bc disability barely covers things. Anyway, Happy Festivus & Solstice & everything else!

I was also unhappy about the added fees. I tried to email Patreon about this but it turns out this is impossible. I wound up eliminating my patronage of a couple of creators so as not to reduce my pledge to you and a couple of my other favorites...still I can't think this is the outcome they were hoping for

JasCollins says it's pronounced 'Jazz'

My solution to he Patreon thing was to pay more to each creator... topped out at one time per month. That means my previous creators DO end uo with less, but now my payment is more precisely predictable, and I've added a couple. Sorry, Puzzle guys, I wish my "per post pledge" actually WERE per post rather than monthly, but at least I've literally gotten off the dime for you. I just hope that this doesn't make the creators completely incapable of knowing what they'll make... ):

If Patreon hasn't corrected their error by the end of the year, I will be doing this as well, on a trial period, to see how it works for me and for you guys.

I multiplied my per episode pledge x 5 and made it 1 per month so hopefully you guys get roughly the same amount. I was forced to give my address for a premium but I don't expect one with this setup :-D

Vincent Jorgensen

Can I change my pledge from $1 per episode to $5 per month? I really don't want to be hit with a $0.35 + 2.9% PER PLEDGE. At $5 per month, I can actually give more to Puzzle and not reward Patreon for their perfidious fees.

Ben

Due to the patreon changes - I've changed mine to 5x original pledge but capped at one payment a month - and have also done the same for all of the other PiaTS shows as well. If there's a better way to fund the show that still gives us an ad-free RSS feed that takes less of a chunk just let us know!

I put mine at $4 per month per show. I tried to keep it the same as it was. I really do enjoy the show and wish I could send you more monies but alas, I don't make much so it is what it is for now. Cheers y'all. :)

I'm not sure I caught it but at what point did heath quit the sponsor? He seems to quit a lot of things but I guess that's the running gag he does, much like the thing Eli does.

Vincent Jorgensen

I don't see this pledge option. How do I do this?

Vincent Jorgensen

NM, found it. Jeez, this is stupid. I see why my friend left the company a while back.

Mister CPU

My analogy would be: Can a wedding photographer be compelled to work a nudist wedding?
