A Brief Update About the New $5 Tier for Exclusive Episodes (Patreon)
Content
Hey folks, we've been getting a bit of feedback from those who signed up for the $5 tier after it went live last week. It turns out some previous episodes were missing for patrons accessing our exclusive RSS feed at the $5 level. I've went and checked all of our posted episodes against what's available in the RSS feed, and they should all be there now for $5 patrons. If not, please unsubscribe and resubscribe, and they'll appear in your exclusive Patreon RSS feed.
Just a few more things to clarify before the revamp happens:
- If you want to access the Friday episodes starting this Friday (1/3), you will need to be signed up at a tier that's $5 or higher.
- If you are a $5 patron, you will receive early access Monday episodes and exclusive access to Friday episodes via the same Patreon RSS feed.
- If you have any problems with your private RSS feed, try unsubscribing and resubscribing. (That usually does the trick.)
And one minor thing I just discovered: for technical reasons, the Patron RSS feed only goes back to June of 2015. This is a technical issue with Patreon, and not something we can fix—it likely has something to do with the way Patreon handled podcasts before it offered RSS feeds, which was not ideal. The good news is all of these posts are still available with the files intact if you want to listen to episodes from the first six months of our Patreon. (These episodes are also available on our Libsyn page, along with all of the other episodes we produced pre-Patreon.)
Thanks for your support, and let me know if you have any questions!
