Q3 2026 Bonus Video Schedule (Patreon)

Welcome new and continuing Patrons to the Quarterly Bonus Video schedule! In this post I will explain the process to those who are new and share this quarter's schedule of events so you know when to be active on Patreon to participate. Note that this quarter, ALL important events will be on or begin on Sundays, and TODAY bonus topic DMs are going out! Here is how this process will work:

Month 1 of each quarter - $10 and up Patrons will receive a DM requesting bonus video topic submissions. Each Patron who receives this DM will have one week to respond with up to TWO topics they would like to see that quarters bonus video be about (or choose from a list of suggestions, like before, if they can't think of anything). When the topic submission week closes, $5 and up Patrons will be able to participate in a private 20 minute live stream where I discuss all of the topics that were submitted and how I might tackle them as bonus videos. Before the live stream, I will post a poll with all of the topics that were submitted for the quarter so that $5 and up Patrons have one week to vote on which topics they would most like to see made into that quarter's bonus video. As before, Patrons will be allowed to vote for more than one topic.

Month 2 of each quarter - A Bonus Question of the Quarter will be posted related to the topic of the bonus video. ALL tiers can respond to the question in the comments of that post. The best answers will be discussed at the end of the bonus video. You have from the beginning of the month to the end of the month to answer!

Month 3 of each quarter - The Bonus Video will be filmed and edited, and will go live on the final Sunday of the month for ALL tiers and YouTube Members. Because not everyone can pledge for three month periods of time, anyone who dropped a pledge at any point during the quarter will receive a Patreon DM with an unlisted link to the bonus video, so that they can still enjoy it even if they couldn't retain their pledge for the entire 3 month span of time.
