We launched a $10 ad-free tier

Hey Besties supporters!
Since we launched our Patreon, we have heard the same request: launch a totally ad-free version of the show. For many complicated and tedious reasons, that wasn’t possible. Until now.
Today, we’ve launched a $10 Patreon tier that includes everything from the $5 tier, plus every episode of the show ad-free. All in one feed. As with many things, we’re borrowing the model from our friends at Blank Check.
If you don’t subscribe on Patreon, you’ll still get every main feed episode (with ads) each Friday.
If you subscribe to the $5 tier, you will still have access to that main, ad-supported feed, plus access to a Patreon feed for ad-free bonus episodes.
And if you subscribe to the $10 tier, you get main Besties episodes and bonus episodes, all ad-free, in a single feed. (Patreon also lets you break them out into two different feeds if you prefer.)
Thank you so much for making this show possible. It’s been a challenging year for a variety of reasons, and we’re so grateful to have The Besties as a stable, fun, and exciting project to continue for many, many years to come.

Not seeing a combined feed option - is that not a thing?
