A Message from Graessle - Changes To The Patreon
🕑 Added 2020-10-27 19:55:55 +0000 UTCHi Patrons,
First of all, thank you all so, so much for your support throughout everything that's happened this year. Between the pandemic, the unrest over the summer, and the continued stress of life here in the States and abroad, it means a lot to us that you support our show. We are doing everything we can to make sure we can provide you with the most entertaining, engaging content we can make.
As you're all aware by now, starting tomorrow we'll be a Spotify Exclusive podcast. That unfortunately means that for the time being we will no longer be able to offer early releases for $1 patrons. I fought as hard as I could to keep this reward for you, but Spotify does not currently support a private RSS feed. I am told, because of the importance of this option to many creators, they are developing their own version but it's not ready yet. As soon as this feature is available, I will reinstate this reward, but for the time being, It will no longer be offered.
But it's not all bad news! I'm working with Beth to develop new merch tiers! We know everyone loves the t-shirts, and we love that you love them, but we want to find ways to get you some new items, potentially at a lower cost for some of you who may not be able to do that $20/mo tier. October has been crazy as Beth's relaunched her shop (bethberad.shop), we've migrated to Spotify, James, Chelsea, and I all moved - jeez, a lot of big changes this year for the team, eh? - but we're gonna roll these out soon, so stay tuned!
Listener polls will also return now that we're back to regular story episodes. We'll be checking in a lot more with the thieves guild going forward - at least once a month - as they pursue Margarine's quest...
We're also going to keep at the recipe cards, and maybe if people are interested, expand the food side of things here. As food continues to be a growing part of the world, it's becoming more intertwined with the creation of the show for me personally. If that's a journey you find interesting, let me know and I'll find a way to make that worth your while as well.
The Juno Shirt will ship soon, and Beth is cooking up something fun for the Holiday season for the next one, which we'll be sure to get out by the end of the year.
All this is to say thank you, sorry, and thank you. While we're all disappointed we can't offer early releases for a while, I hope you'll stick with us as we offer some new rewards and firm up the current ones. We're heading into a new era for the show that I'm so excited for, and I hope you'll be with us every step of the way.
Speaking of these uncertain times, since we've been recording at a distance, we've raised over $1000 for food based charities around the world by donating the food portion of the show's expenses. People in need from Detroit, Mexico, DC, Uganda, and beyond received essential help with accessing food because of you.
Thank you again,
-Graessle

Nope - global shipping is available!

As a non-American resident, I got a question: To what places are you actually shipping your merch? Is it US / America(s) exclusive?

Spotify has been downloaded! After listening to all of the Table for Two 2 episodes especially, it’s incredible how much I’m learning about storytelling from this podcast in addition to just enjoying the world, comedy, and the characters. Thank you all so much and keep up your amazing work ♥️

I'll have to make Tuesday bedtime routine my Wednesday routine! Still good.

To be totally honest, for a very long time I wasn’t even supporting this Patreon for the early releases (because I used to only listen while I was in work, and the early release day isn’t one I work), so going back to listening on Spotify itself is fine with me 👍🏻 Suuuper interested in seeing more food-related content though! And even more super excited for the Juno shirt!! 💕💕
DnDnD can do no wrong in my eyes!
Great thank you so much!! Love the show and excited to get some beautiful merch

Baring anything unforeseen, November!
Awesome!! Do you know what month that will be?
DnDnD
It's patreon exclusive for now - BUT if you bump up your pledge the month we ship, you'll get a shirt.
Will the Juno shirt be available to buy through the shop or is it just for the $20 Patreons?
Justin Govas
This actually answers a question I had about early release episodes. Spot-ify on with that!
I don't think any changes could turn me off from this podcast.
DnDnD
Correct. It will only be on Spotify starting tomorrow. But it will still be free and you can still listen offline as needed.
So the podcast will not be on Apple podcast anymore?
DnDnD
correct. The only place you'll be able to find the show is on Spotify. But it's free and you can listen offline for free as well.
Andrew Cox
Thank you for the prompt response! This is sad but we will get through these trying times! Thank you and the rest of the fun people for the fun times!
DnDnD
And no call for Address/sizes yet! Hoping next week or two we'll be good to go.
DnDnD
unfortunately, we can't integrate with Patreon for releases - the only place the show will live is on Spotify. I can post links to Spotify here, but that's the best I could do right now. I'm stressing to them how important it is to our listeners, however, and they tell me they're working on it. As soon as I hear different, we'll be back.
Andrew Cox
You said no early releases. Will you be able to post on here day of? And have the address been collected for the shirts? I don’t remember if they were.
Thank you for all the hard work you all have been putting in! On top of everything else, I’m grateful to have my favorite fun people group to Listen too ♥️

So does being a Spotify exclusive mean you will no longer be available on other platforms (like Google podcasts or Stitcher)?
Super excited for the Juno shirt! Just about to start my pizza dough so I can eat along with you guys when I listen to the episode tomorrow.
