ANNOUNCEMENT: The Valleycast Release Schedule (Patreon)

So here's the plan as it currently stands for our Valleycast release schedule. Our goal here is to offer exclusive content to every single patron, while still offering even MORE exclusive content to higher-tier patrons. For the first couple episode of our podcast, while we were getting our bearings, we released it early to all patrons immediately, like a clumsy lover. This is still going to be the case, but our ten-dollar tier patrons and above will be receiving the podcast on Mondays. 

Logistically, that means that Steve takes the podcast on Sunday evening, marinates it overnight in pod-goo, then cooks it up nice and juicy on Monday morning while listening to REO Speedwagon or whatever the heck he listens to. Then, on Monday, Elliott writes the description of the podcast and natively uploads it to Patreon for ten-buckers (with a link to the SoundCloud in the description). We've also turned on the private, Patron-only RSS feed, so feel free to insert that bad boy into your favorite podcast player like a thermometer into a big ol' juicy turkturk. 

Then, come Tuesday, all patrons will receive the podcast, fresh on your digital doorstep. This is a day later but still two days before the world receives it on Thursday. Furthermore, today the gang is working out the Patreon skedge (this is lingo for "schedule"). In other words, we are going to announce this month's Patreon-only exclusive slate of content. Whether that's my patron-only blog, exclusive Q and As, or simply us divvying up the shoutout videos, it's all in the works. 

As always, this is a learning process for all of us, and we are excited to figure out what works best for everyone. What I can assure you is that our goal is to make this Patreon the best Patreon of all the Patreons in the land. We want this to be our core community, so please know that we are listening to everything you're saying, except for the couple things someone said about my facial hair. Girls seem to like it, and that's what matters to me, so . . .
