Hi, Anna. Although the Minimal (public) and Maximal (Patreon) episodes broadly share the same topic and same talent, the Minimal episodes average about 30 minutes in length and the Maximal episodes average about 60+ minutes in length. And, unlike the Minimal episodes, the Maximal episodes explore the topics more deeply, offer more candid views from Joshua and Ryan and their guests, and address far more questions (which are pulled exclusively from the Patreon audience). Hope that helps. —Podcast Shawn

Guys, love your podcast soooo much ♥️ and I've been listening to it since you started realise it. I have a question: are minimal episodes parts of maximal episodes? Or do they complement each other? I listen to minimal episode and than to maximal episode, love all about the podcast, content, your voices, laughs, jokes, how you interact and I might not notice that content is repeating in minimal and maximal episodes 😅 which is quite fine, just wanted to make sure what's the idea behind these two parts of episodes. Love you soooo much ♥️
