WE DID IT!!! GOAL UNLOCKED! (Patreon)

YAHOO!!!! I feel like I've wanted to start up my own podcast for years and it can finally be a reality!! And this is great timing too - given the new studio is currently under construction, my new security podcast can coincide with the studio finishing construction, which will be in about a month pending any delays with the contractor. I don't have the details yet - I honestly thought it would take a bit longer to reach that goal - but that'll give me some time to set up the logistics and potential guests to have on for interviews. This will be my first ever audio podcast where I'm the lead host, so please bear with me as I have a lot to learn!

Starting in May, I'll be enabling the Patreon Merchandise platform, which means anyone currently contributing and new patrons will now have access to reoccuring merch that will be shipped through Patreon's logistical platform. The reason I waited until hitting that goal is because Patreon increases the fee for creators for this feature, and it'll help cover shipping and merch fees.

Reminder: You don't have to do anything different! If you're already an Alliance member, this will be a new feature that you'll automatically have access to, should you want physical merch shipped to you. Check your perk level to see if it's one of the ones that gets merch and if it is, add your shipping address to your profile. This is completely optional - if you don't want any merch, you don't need to add your address.

This was a HUGE personal goal of mine and it's taken a really long time to get here but WE finally did it and it's a big accomplishment. Thank you, ThreatWire Alliance, for making the upcoming podcast and merch possible!!!
