A new way to support Rusty Quill and what it means for Patreon (Patreon)
Content
Hi folks,
This is a message direct to our Patreon supporters. Today, we have launched a new way to support Rusty Quill: members.rustyquill.com.
First, we want to assure you that our Patreon is not going anywhere and will continue to run alongside this new platform. Patreon, and our community here, has been so important to us over the years, and we are so grateful to every one of you for your generosity and enthusiasm for our shows. We have no plans to phase out Patreon and are committed to continue to share ad-free episodes, bonus content and news updates here as normal.
So, why are we launching members.rustyquill.com? Having an additional platform gives folks a choice when they want to support us.
The new Membership Portal features all bonus content and ad-free episodes that are available on Patreon and, ongoing, both Patreon and members.rustyquill.com will be updated to receive the same content at the same time. On the new platform, we have only excluded news posts that are no longer relevant, e.g. livestream links, and newsletter content from before January 2024. These will remain available on Patreon; we will not be removing any content from Patreon.
Furthermore, there are some features on Patreon, such as Drops, that are only available on Patreon – we will continue to offer these here for our most exciting episode releases. This aside, there will be no exclusive bonuses or benefits to either platform, so there is no need for you subscribe to both.
We have kept the tier prices the same across both platforms, though if you are based outside of the UK and the US, you may notice small variations due to how each platform calculates exchange rates.
Having more than one membership platform is becoming a new norm for popular podcast producers and networks, and the additional choice only seems to benefit fans.
Thank you, again, for your support. We hope that this update answers any questions you may have about members.rustyquill.com and the future of our Patreon, however if you have any questions you can send us a DM on Patreon or email us at mail@rustyquill.com.
The Rusty Quill team
