FAQ or: All the Things I Want to Know and am Perfectly Comfortable Asking About (Patreon)

Here’s all the things you need to know about this Patreon and getting set up. 

What Is The Release Schedule?

Wednesday is the day to visit The Ton! 

• Ad-free episodes are released every other wednesday at the same time as they are released publicly with ads

• Episodes of our talkback show Spilling the Tea will be released the Wednesday after the episode airs. 

• Lady Bigg-Withers Gossip Sheet will be released on the same day as Spilling the Tea

Is it Audio Only?

This is an audio-only show. There may be some bonus video content sometime in the far-flung future, but right now we’re focusing on giving you the absolute best audio experience. 

How do I Listen to this Podcast?

By subscribing to this Patreon  you get access to the private RSS feed. This is essentially a link you add to your podcast player of choice–Apple Podcasts, Pocket Casts, Downcast, Stitcher, etc–in order to listen to the show. 

You can also listen to each episode straight from the Patreon membership page on your web browser. All you have to do is click play.

How Do I Get the Patreon Feed onto my Phone?

• Once you've joined our Patreon, make sure you're logged in and go to www.patreon.com/bitcherton

• On this page you’ll see a tab marked “MEMBERSHIP”. Click on it. 

• On that page you will see a section labeled “Listen on Other Podcast Apps.” Click on the button that says “Copy Link.”

• Every podcatcher app will have a way to add RSS feeds. Add the RSS link you just copied from Patreon into your podcatcher. If you don’t see a place to add it you can usually paste the link into the app’s search bar and be able to find it that way. (Here is a handy link to all the podcast apps that work with Patreon’s RSS feed and a guide on how to use each of them.)

• If you’re still having trouble getting it to work, check out Patreon’s official How to Guide. 

Can I use Spotify?

Yes! Once you become a member of the Patreon you will also have access to a Patreon-exclusive Spotify channel. You will see a link for that in the tab marked “MEMBERSHIP.” Just click the link and you’ll be sent there directly.
