Public posts (Patreon)

Hey, so we're about to be a part of this Patreon creators program they're doing. That means we are going to have to make 3-4 public posts per week, vs the private patreon-only posts like you're seeing now. They're going to be showcasing them on the front page and promoting them that way. The pilot program goes for 3 months, from March (very soon!) through end of may. They've only invited 200 creators to be part of this thing. It's intended to grow the show and the listenerbase - we'll see if it does! But that means a few things:

First of all, I hope that won't be annoying. I'm hopeful that the public posts won't ping your inbox, and we'll check on that, but let us know.

Second of all, if you have ideas for stuff you'd like to see as it goes along, let us know. Obviously with 3-4 posts per week they can't be super high effort!

Third, it might be helpful if you all interacted with those posts somewhat to help set the tone - who knows what kind of reaction an explicitly left-leaning video game podcast will generate in a somewhat more public setting. But more than that it'll just be livelier. Of course if there's nothing to say you don't have to force yourself!!

Fourth, we're going to rearrange the patreon benefits, because we haven't looked at them since launch and they're probably not really reflective of what's going on anymore. It shouldn't really affect anyone who's already here, but just letting you know!

Thanks all, let's see how this experiment goes!
