So we took a two week break...here is why.
Added 2020-02-13 16:57:23 +0000 UTCSo now that we have people donating to us, feels like I owe you an explanation when it comes to the recent unplanned gap between episodes.
Basically, I (Michelle) was recently diagnosed with ADHD. This came with...feelings...and a sudden need to radically change how I do some things.
This made putting out episodes impossible for a while. But we are dropping a new episode tomorrow, and will try to keep you abreast of if the production schedule has to change suddenly.
Thanks for your understanding, I am fine btw. Just started meds and have already seen a significant improvement in the symptoms. Things are really looking up on that front.
Now, I got a show to record. Thanks for your support as always, you lot are astonishing and it is the privilege of my life to have your support, trust and all of that.

2020-02-13 20:48:59 +0000 UTCThat is true, and we are kind of at capacity when it comes to social media/communication related stuff. But, we will look into it and see what we can do! Do love the idea of being able to create a little community.

2020-02-13 20:47:34 +0000 UTCDiscord is deffo an idea, another podcast I follow opened one a while back and it's grown into a really pleasant community. You'd maybe need one or two people to mod it just because it's The Internet(tm) but that's it, people can come and go as they please :)

2020-02-13 20:44:50 +0000 UTCAlso, thanks for becoming a patron! Your name will be read out at the end of next weeks show! Hope that is okay (admittedly, your name comes up a lot in tomorrows episode so this should be okay right? ;)
What The Trans
2020-02-13 19:35:28 +0000 UTCI think the reason why podcasting has been the only thing (apart from certain jobs) that I have been able to stick to is because of how there are so many stages in production that I get continual rushes of that sweet, sweet dopamine all the way through. But whatever the case, let the neurodivergent wing of the community handle the podcasts!
What The Trans
2020-02-13 19:34:03 +0000 UTCWeirdly, kind of immune to the stuff now. The best thing for my mental health has always been to get to the bottom of things and whilst the press is so, so, so shit on trans stuff, there is usually something in there that makes a story less scary than it appears. Unfortunately, hitting deadlines is a huge struggle and audio editing is the biggest challenge when it comes to having adhd and producing a show so I don't think we will ever be able to put out a show early. But if you have any ideas for Patreon perks we could do for everyone, let us know! Obviously we don't want to gate off content behind a paywall, but maybe a discord server where you can hang out with me or Ashleigh or something may be a thing. Is that something you would be interested in?

What The Trans
2020-02-13 19:29:13 +0000 UTCthanks for sharing with us! on a selfish note, i love that virtually every trans podcaster has ADHD. Callie and I were just talking about this on Queersplaining. sending solidarity xoxo.

2020-02-13 18:06:44 +0000 UTCHopefully it isn't too stressful recording/editing all the recent bad news. When you put it up tomorrow upload it to patreon too and then the patreon RSS will be working for if/when it is finished early.

2020-02-13 18:00:11 +0000 UTC💜 I can't speak for everyone, but I put in support because the work you do is important to me. I don't want to purchase an obligation from you to provide the show, just want you to be able to be as awesome as you can be. If it needs a break to reload the cannons before you can bring us more explosions then so be it. We'll still be here to cheer you on! Please do what you have to do so we can be safe in knowing you're ok too x
