Whole bunch of new (audio) stuff (Patreon)

Hey folks, this is Brandon. While I was out in Japan for a few weeks, I recorded about 7 podcasts worth of content (meant to do way more, but got sick!) but we don't actually need all of it. You've already heard the first of them, which is the 8-4 crossover cast.

The rest of it is, without spoiling anything:
- one of my "walkaround" travelogue episodes
- a few interviews with some notable people, which could be their own episodes
- a reader Q&A episode answering questions about "being in japan" from the forums
- a conversation about games purchased in japan with a special guest.

None of these (aside from the 8-4 one!) conform to the normal episode style, and all have rougher audio due to being recorded on the fly. I am wondering what you all would like to see us do with these! We might save one or two for a rainy day when we need to fill a slot, but we don't need them all for that.

I'm currently considering including them as extra episodes throughout the next few weeks. What would you all think of that? You'd get your normal episode Sunday night/Monday morning, and then something else wednesday or thursday.

Also considering, what if we did some little extra short podcast bits like my written piece about Balan Wonderworld, not as interstitials between normal episodes, but as individual 5-10 minute bite-sized episodes to drop during the week?

Curious what you all think about all this, and also if you'd like them to be branded differently somehow. Of course it would all still be insert credit, and we wouldn't want to separate them into a different feed, but maybe they could have a different intro or naming structure so it's not like... "insert credit 450", but "insert credit: brandon interviews a cool person."

I wonder, also whether getting THESE episodes earlier might be fun for patrons? Or no? All thoughts are welcome! Thanks!
