Hey all, quick question for you about how you get your Early Release episodes. I know a good number of you are subscribed to the feed that I created (getting the episodes automatically), but how many of you rely on updates to the Patreon page itself to find out about newer episodes?Currently, early release episodes go up on the secret blog I created for it, and I also put them on this page, which (I think) sends you email updates. This means you discover early episodes either through your inbox or your podcast app of choice. The downside of this is that all of our content is left undiscoverable on Patreon unless you're a $3+ backer.I'm considering a way to handle things where new episodes are added to the Patreon page publicly on the day of their public release, and I just intermittently send out reminders to early release backers with information about where they can subscribe to the early feed. This gets more of our content out there on Patreon, potentially attracting more listeners.What would treat you best? I want to make sure I'm not sacrificing your good experience with this perk for more discoverability. Let me know what you think in the comments below. - KR
