Announcing B.E.E. Podcast Gold Membership Reward Tier
🕑 Added 2018-05-01 01:16:25 +0000 UTC Hello listeners of The Bret Easton Ellis Podcast! We are launching a $5 reward tier tonight; a "Gold Membership" for those so inclined. Gold Membership gets you new episodes two days before the basic $1.50 pledge accesses them, and you get AT LEAST ten more minutes of B.E.E. Podcast bonus action in each new show! We just want to give you all the chance to throw a little extra honey our way in exchange for a bigger slice of that sweet podcast pie we love serving you up. Your regular $1.50 pledge still gets you access to the new episodes, so if you're not feeling "golden" you can continue listening to new shows at no additional cost. Next new episode comes out TOMORROW (5/1) for Golden Members, and on THURSDAY (5/3) for the regular pledge of $1.50. We are so thrilled to be back doing shows. We love you intensely. You keep the podcast rockin'. You are all incredibly good-looking and please don't ever change!- Adam (the producer)

Podcast is like the NBA, I love this game!

As I said in an earlier post: “low-level intelligence test of your audience” I’m a 47-year-old tech non-savvy barely literate and was able - on 1st attempt - to follow the basic instructions. COME ON PEOPLE!!!

Got it, thanks!

The $1.50 edition was released this morning, you should have access to it now. -Adam

Don't mind paying tbh but this website and the tiered system introduced is so damn confusing I'm about to forget about all of it.

Ah if that's the case, agreed!
Bad Habbit
I don't think that he's dropped guests completely, I just think it's more that the show will go on guest or no. I think that's great.
MidRangeG
I'm going to wait and see on this one. I love Bret and the podcast - particularly now that you've dropped the guests (as entertaining as SOME of them may have been) - but all of this media across all of the various platforms, well, the shit tots up! For now my €1.50 per pod is yours. If the quality of the solo podcast is maintained you will have earned a new Gold Member. I look forward to being convinced!

Not even close to the same thing as a newspaper. Podcasts are released once every 2 weeks. A two day difference isn't going to leave you out of the conversation. It's up to you if you want to be grateful or not. Bret works really hard on this podcast.
Andrew
Yeah but you make it sound like we should be grateful-we're paying for the thing. Today's newspaper is wrapped around tomorrow's fish & chips.
The Bret Easton Ellis Podcast
You will have the podcast tomorrow. Nothing is fixed. We are learning the platform like any other user would. The 1.50 tier will come out tomorrow. Thanks.
Andrew
Wouldn't be here Paul if I wasn't a fan but feel we're having the piss taken out of us. We've went from a free model to a two-tiered scenerio in the space of a week. Why should we be expected to pay for delayed content?
Andrew
No I mean the fact I signed up for a podcast at a fixed price & then a week later I can't access it when it's released because of a new tiered system. I can understand staggered releasing podcasts if it was free but I'm paying for the content.
Ryan
I don’t mind paying but I have never seen a more confusing site. I’ve already paid 5 bucks and don’t see the new podcast. Wtf .
Chris
$5 per podcast
Paul b
Maybe if you included show notes. Also Andy, not sure your pitch above was very Bret worthy, come on mate!
Raffi N
I would have bought it but don’t see it posted and have looked all over the app so I will wait until Thursday
Mitch Jordan
Can anybody answer this?
The Bret Easton Ellis Podcast
You mean this comment?
Andrew
What a complete & utter dick move.
James Reeves
1 hour and 18 minutes!!!

I’m GOLD!!!!!

‘For good or ill’ (HS Thompson) - reading some of the early posts - this is a low-level intelligence test of your audience. Cheers!
Mitch Jordan
Is it a one off pledge of $5? or $5 a week/month?
Dustin
I'm golden.
David Schur
OK I am a sucker, but I paid my $5
bingo bob
🙄
Erik
Shut up and take my money!
Jeff Taylor
Feeling totally glamorous as a Gold Member! ♥️ you guys!

$5 pledge level gets you early access to the episodes, which as of now, will come out every other week.
