Releasing "Into the Dreamcast"

I wanted to share this and wasn't sure where to. After your Dreamcast episode and the Jet Set/Bomb Rush Cyberfunk talk I really wanted to share one of my favorite songs from that era that hit so hard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZJQFXvgQ_s As someone who grew up in that time it was awesome to have a "gamer" song from a great artist and it's nostalgic now but also encapsulates the Dreamcast era perfectly. It also totally hits that vibe that Jet Set and Bomb Rush's music represents. Also Del did a bunch of stuff for Gorillaz so you hit the nail on the head, Stephen. So check it out :>

Great ep guys! Really surprised Dynamite Cop didn’t make the cut

Just wanted to pop in and say that I am 45 min. into the episode and have paused it, to become a patron. Thanks for the deep dive on Dreamcast.

For sure share it, it's just a great episode everyone should hear!

I finally listened to the episode myself last week and I loved it, one of my all-time favorite ITA episodes. It should absolutely be shared in the public feed for everyone to enjoy :)

Spread the love!

I love this community ❤️

+1 I feel like everyone needs to hear the clip Plante got you guys and your reaction, it's too wholesome

It's too good not to share!

Joining in w the chorus of people here to say that in general I find unlocked episodes fun, even as a patron! I appreciate the consideration of asking, but I’m definitely here to support you all first 😤🧡

I want there to be more show for everyone! If you want a patreon exclusive replacement, I recommend a Cats(2019) commentary track

Yeah, it's so good, it should definitely be out in the world

Just gotta replace it with another patreon exclusive. I vote "Every Dreamcast Game Ranked by how Jelical they are"

It’s one of those situations where it’s too good of an episode not to share with everyone!

More of an overarching comment, but I generally prefer "patreon producer" esque content. Stuff like doing a Q&A with patrons but still publishing the episode on the main feed. This kind of content makes the special thing about being a patron is being part of the podcast in a way rather than the incentive being gated off content. Obviously there is no perfect system when money is involved, but that way everyone can at least hear all of the conversations and not feel like they are missing out (for example when interacting with others on discord). Regardless, I'll keep supporting - you have proven that your hearts are in the right place ❤️

I personally don’t think it’s essential listening to understand the Dreamcast but I also don’t really want anything to be exclusive so - release it!

100% in support with 300 votes?? I love this community. Release it for all! 👍

Dan O’Neill

I think you've overlooked the ethical dilemma of placing the Dreamcast behind a paywall. It needs all the support it can get. The public have a right to know! Release the tapes!

It's been exclusive to us for a while now, so I think we've been appropriately rewarded. I see no reason to keep it from public listeners considering the Dreamcast context it sets up.

Dakota Kipper

I love that we’re still at 100% yes at 264 votes. Also yes, this episode is fantastic and should be heard by everyone ❤️

Honestly one of y’all’s best episodes and I think everyone should get to listen to it

Cory Johnson

It’s a joyful episode, you should feel proud of being able to share it wider! A non-zero sum game that everyone wins

Callum Smith

I completely agree!

Jeffrey Atkinson

it’s a wonderful episode, I want everyone to be able to enjoy it ☺️ also, like other people have said, I’m a Patreon supporter because I want you all to be compensated for your time and efforts. I love the extra content, but if there are things on the Patreon feed you want to share on the regular feed, I 100% support that.
