Retronauts Special: State of the Podcast, 2016
Added 2016-01-01 19:31:13 +0000 UTCHey folks,
In case you missed it, we released a brief end-of-year update episode on the main feed to inform you of the incredibly minor changes in store for the new year. Thanks again for the support, and please feel free to post questions below if you have any. Happy 2016!

I'm in the same boat in that the early 'exclusive' access isn't really worth much to me, I'd rather you just pushed the episodes out to everyone. Happy to back you guys either way though.

2016-01-18 19:36:35 +0000 UTCI just pledged after having it on my to-do list for waaay too long, and this episode reminded me to get to it. Found a useless recurring bill I could cancel and swapped it with Retronauts! Win-win. I found Retronauts when it was charting on iTunes, loved it, and am now a regular listener of the show and reader of US Gamer. When something's that big a part of your life, it's the least you can do to support it.

2016-01-15 19:23:34 +0000 UTCI've been listening to this podcast over in England for a long time but weirdly it was only after your announcement that the minimum pledge would increase to $2 that I decided to become a patron. For the cost of a steak pie this is some of the best retro gaming content available anywhere. Keep it up Retronauts!

2016-01-12 14:10:47 +0000 UTCLike Scott I just wait for the RSS feed to show me the new episode whenever it's ready. I don't mind either way but would use a 'Patreon only' feed if it was easy to administer for you guys... trouble is, how do you do that without having some secret password which could be shared outside of Patreon? Giantbomb do it using the username and password to their site which is fine as they administer it which is not the case here. I think most listeners would just want to get episodes without any faff, over exclusivity.

2016-01-02 22:06:18 +0000 UTCI think you all should consider a poll to determine if the backers want the "timed exclusive" podcasts, or if they would just prefer that episodes be available to everyone once they are done. Personally, I only listen to episodes once they hit the standard feed, or watch content once it's on YouTube. I have a podcast app on my phone, and it's how I listen to everything. Similarly, YouTube is where I go to watch content. I have no problem that non-backers get the content at the same time. I also am not interested in physical rewards - I support Retronauts because I like it, and it's continued existence is my "reward". Also, agreed that I have no problem if you all were able to pull a salary from the backers. I don't expect you all to work for free, which is one reason why I'm a backer.

2016-01-02 16:42:50 +0000 UTCI upgraded my pledge also, Kinda hard to believe that it appears the pledge amount has gone down since they posted this.....
Chase
2016-01-02 15:58:54 +0000 UTCI just upgraded my pledge (right word to use here?) to five dollars upon listening to this recording. You guys deserve every cent you get for making Retronauts the best retro game podcast ever. This is coming from a fan since 2007. Please never feel bashful for asking more. Wish you all the best.

2016-01-02 07:35:48 +0000 UTCDon't apologize for asking for support! You guys deserve it. I've been listening since the early days and I want to keep you around! Thanks for all you do!

2016-01-01 21:48:43 +0000 UTCIn my opinion, you both should be making money! When I purchase something, it comes with the expectation that the creators are profiting. This content clearly takes a great deal of effort to produce, and it shouldn't be the case that you both just scrape by in its creation. Happy to pay a little extra to support this great work.
