We're Working on Fixing Discord

Update: 12:44PM PDT - It seems like it's fixed. If you're still not in the Discord, log out and log back in to force a role refresh. If that doesn't work, shoot us a PM and we'll manually whitelist you. 


Signing in and out of Discord should fix the problem, but it takes the Patreon bot a bit to get everyone's roles set properly again. If it isn't working in the AM PDT, we'll pursue alternate solutions.

Welcome to you, the clever ones :)

Hi there. I guess this is our first patron-only post. I just wanted to tell you, the most loyal of Techpod listeners, that we hadn't exactly intended for folks to find our Patreon yet. That means a few things, like the actual content of the offers may change a bit before we announce the Patreon publicly. Feel free to keep subscribing, and we'll continue to pause payment until we're ready to launch. And thank you for supporting us!
