Happy 4th of July! Here's What We've Been Up to...

Hello patrons!

Happy 4th of July to everyone in America, and happy... Tuesday to all of our non-American friends! We're about to hit $6000 on Patreon, bringing us ever-closer to our next goal. And, thankfully, the brief dip every Patreon sees at the beginning of each month was barely noticeable to us. (In fact, it took barely a day to get us back to where we were.)

That said, here's an update about what we've been up to so far!

Recordings! We're working pretty far ...

How to Access Your Bonus Content Outside of Patreon

Hello Talking Simpsons Patrons!

We realize Patreon isn't the best platform for listening to our bonus shows. It wasn't really built with this type of content in mind, and while it's greatly improved over the years, lots of people want to listen to their Patreon podcasts using the same app/program/device that plays all of their standard podcasts. So, how do you access this stuff outside of Patreon?

It's actually pretty easy to set up, but the RSS link is easy to miss on a busy Patreon pag...

After a brush with death, Mr. Burns decides to name an heir who isn't a girl or a geek. He ends up with Bart, who trades his family for a Bob Mackie original. Look, it'll all make sense once you listen.

Hachi Machi! Our Talking Critic Goal Has Been Reached!

THANK YOU, all you wonderful patrons! Thanks to your support we hit our first funding goal super fast this weekend! That means that Talking Critic can begin in earnest and that we can focus on our next goal. So what does this mean right now?

- We're now going to start recording Talking Critic regularly. We want to get several recorded ahead of time before we start posting them to Patreon on a weekly basis, so don't expect the third episode until July.

- Talking Critic episodes will live ...

We're So Close We Added a New Tier!

Hey friends,

Bob here. Thank you SO MUCH for all the support you've given us this weekend! We're sooooo close to meeting our first goal, so if you could consider upping your donation by just one dollar, it would really help us make it to Talking Critic. (If not, no worries!

That said, we've just added a new, exclusive tier that's limited to just four lucky patrons. If you donate at...

Homer has a little too much fun in front of Bart's nosy camera, and he ends up going viral (or the 1990 equivalent). How will Homer fix things with Marge while also teaching Bart to respect women? Find out on this podcast!
