Honest Government Ads | Behind the scenes 2020 (Patreon)

Dear PatronsI hope you enjoyed another year of Honest Government Ads. I've put together an end of year video to share some of the highlights in this crazyarse year, featuring some BTS goodness and bloopers for good measure.As for many of you, it's been a really challenging year for us - definitely the hardest one since we started the HGA series (some of those challenges will be apparent when you watch the video!)And yet, it's also been the most productive year.Between HGAs and Podcasts, we published 20 videos this year; including our most viral HGA to date (Coronavirus HGA: 7M views on Youtube / over 12M across our channels); we had luminaries like Naomi Klein and Noam Chomsky on the podcast; and we passed half a million subscribers on YouTube - a milestone I never thought we would reach.  Most importantly, we're carving out a new path with a form of satire that doesn't just aim to get a laugh (although we do well on that front, too); but also aims to inform people about complex topics, from climate and energy policy, to economics and history.My goal in 2021 is to help raise public understanding and literacy when it comes to climate and energy policy, specifically. Our last HGA about the Kyoto carryover credits being a good example.I know this year has been incredibly hard for many people. So I really want to sincerely thank all of you who've stuck with us and supported our work in 2020. We honestly couldn’t have kept going without you. And trust me, knowing that you've been supporting us through this period has inspired me to work harder than ever, despite the challenges we've faced.Also I want to take this opportunity to wish you and your families all the best; wherever you are, I hope the next few months will bring some relief to all those who've been doing it tough due to Covid, especially the most vulnerable in our communities.As for us, we'll be back recharged for another year of Honest Government Ads after a short break. Until then from all of us here at the Juice Media – take care.Giordano
