Historians say the ancient Sumerians were the first to record bonus content for Patreon distribution, but it’s widely agreed the practice was not perfected until Insert Credit started doing so. Decide for yourself as you experience Frank talking comic book stores with Jaffe, the immediate aftermath of the Improv Zone’s return, and Brandon explaining which parts of Star Trek he actually likes.

I want to do this sooner than later, but don't want to do it without your input. So I want to ask you all a few questions as we revisit all this.
1) The largest group of people are in the $3 tier. We feel that as the show has grown over time maybe that tier should not exist anymore - it fe...
Thanks again to everyone who donated their games to the bundle, and all the folks on the insert credit forums for helping vet the games.

The show rarely ends up where it starts out. None of us played Dragon's Dogma (sorry) so we talked about the Spice Girls DARK PS1 SECRETS instead. It is a natural transition.

Hey, so we're about to be a part of this Patreon creators program they're doing. That means we are going to have to make 3-4 public posts per week, vs the private patreon-only posts like you're seeing now. They're going to be showcasing them on the front page and promoting them that way. The pilot program goes for 3 months, from March (very soon!) through end of may. They've only invited 200 creators to be part of this thing. It's intended to grow the show and the listenerbase - we'll see if ...
