WHAT OUR PAID MEMBERS ARE ENJOYING THIS MONTH!

What do you get with a paid membership? Here's what's on offer this month!

Fred Again Full video episode!

Extended Players tier and above can watch full video episodes, ad free! We normally release 2 full episodes a month, they're around 2 hours long and feature screengrabs of guests' digital audio workspaces. Our members tell us watching the video offers a more immediate, three dimensional experience that brings them closer to artists' process, with takeaways they can apply in their own work.

Fred Again Gear list!

Every episode comes with a detailed gear list, including built in links, lifting the lid on the tech your favourite artists discuss on the show! Gear lists are available as part of all paid tiers - here's a little taster of what they look like, from our recent episode with Danny L Harle!

Fred Again Behind the scenes content!

Exclusive photo and video content from our recordings, only available on Patreon to Extended Players tier and above. Here's one of the shots, from Fred's house!

Submit questions to artists!

This month, our paying Patreons have submitted questions for TOMORA (AURORA & Tom Rowlands of the Chemical Brothers), Holly Humberstone & producer Rob Milton, Arlo Parks & producer Baird Acheson! Last month, they got to put questions to Fred! We ask as many of your questions as we can on the show, and you get a mention too! Available to all paying Patreons.
