Show Update: Underunderstood Returns!
🕑 Added 2023-01-16 22:12:33 +0000 UTCGreetings, patrons. Some updates about Underunderstood and Overunderstood!
You've probably noticed that the Underunderstood feed has been dormant since April of last year. Three of us have had babies since then, and it's been easier to just do the weekly Overunderstood episodes while we adjust. But it's time to shake things up.
We’re bringing the public feed back
The main Underunderstood feed will return on February 8th. We'll be coming back with a weekly format somewhere between the old Underunderstood and Overunderstood. We want to integrate lots of listener questions and voicemails, so if you've got anything, send them our way (212-994-4882 or hello@underunderstood.com).
While we ramp up, you may hear some stories that started here on Overunderstood, but we'll try to incorporate something new every episode so there is always something fresh for our longtime Patreon supporters.
Patreon feed
So where does that leave the Patreon feed? We'll be publishing less frequently to it, in general. But we'll be hosting virtual live shows (stay tuned for details), where we'll go through listener questions and take calls from the live audience. Recordings of those events will go in the Overunderstood feed.
We'll also post "bonus" content to that feed. We're not sure what that means yet, but we want to get more experimental there.
A new Patreon tier
Originally, Overunderstood was our main Patreon offering. Since Overunderstood will be publishing less frequently, we want to offer a lower-priced tier. The new $3 tier will get you access to our Patreon-only Discord and the monthly live streams. If this sounds like a better fit for you, just change your subscription on Patreon!
The $5 tier will get you access to our Patreon-only Discord, the monthly live streams, as well as the full Overunderstood feed and recordings of live shows. If this is the tier you want, you can keep your subscription the same.
Thank you!
Finally we want to say thank you to everyone who supports us here on Patreon. We started this not knowing if anyone would want to pay for it, and we've been touched by the warm and engaged community that has grown out of it. Your support literally keeps the show going, and we're excited to see where this year takes us.

There will be less content on Patreon but we're hoping people will like it! We have the monthly live show, Discord community, and we'll put some extra goodies on there too. But totally understand if some folks want to unsubscribe! -Adrianne

We are doing a monthly live show that all Patrons have access to and the recording of that will be on the feed, and we'll post extra stuff here every now and then as well! -Adrianne

This sounds like a downgrade. Maybe I’m just misunderstanding your plans, but it seems a lot like the vibe/content of the Patreon feed will be sacrificed for the sake of the free feed.

There’s gonna be stuff here too

wait so is there going to be subscriber only content on patreon still? or will it all be free going forward?

I CANNOT believe we’re getting a conclusion to the California Raisins story!! I started listening to this show because I was following the Reddit posts, and the Reddit OP mentioned that a “very cool” podcast has reached out to them and offered help. Now I’m a huge fan (who also thinks about the California Raisins mystery multiple times a week). I CANNOT wait for the conclusion!

I think this show might be a little too precious to me to comment, and I’ll just trust you all and see how the mix ends up working out. I will just say that I hope that posting doesn’t become less frequent because the main feed is “free.” But that’s just bc I want as much new content as possible lol. I’ll stop now at risk of sounding like a petulant child lol

Not going to lie, as much I enjoy the original feed, the weekly Patreon feed had real value. If the concept is to move the content back there's probably not much value here. Best of luck.
