We reached a goal!

Folks! Beautiful Patrons! 

Thanks to your amazing support we've now reached our first goal of $800 USD per month, and that fucking whips ass.

Now one of the things we promised we'd do once we reached this goal was to get better microphones so our sound quality would stop sucking so much, but we already did that! We had enough support to get Shure SM58 mics for each of us and we figured sooner was better than later. 

We also already started doing some commentary tracks! Some people love em, some people don't (judging at least one withering assessment given as a reason for dropping a subscription). We'll keep doing them every now and then but we certainly don't want to make it a primary form of bonus content. 

So for these reasons, I'm thinking that we need to redefine our tiered goals. We already started doing stuff from the first tier, and I'd like to start doing stuff from the second goal now! We want to start doing some video content, and I also want to add a secondary pledge tier for $10 a month: Lover Of The Show. 

Beyond the obvious benefit of being officially recognised as an intimate lover of each member of the cast, I'm looking for your input on other benefits you'd like from a "premium" subscription tier, like stickers, a monthly newsletter or whatever else you desire.

Please pound off in the comments and let us know what you think, and again: thank you so much for your support, it kicks a pile of hot ass.

Some sort of live interactive feed with the patreonies, a twitch stream or something so we can hear it live but also comment/heckle/insult along with the show. Mostly so I can go WHATS THIS ABOUT CELLPHONES HURRRRRR every time you talk about people self-owning. Basically be more like Q&A.

Shirts? Socks? Live episodes? I'd be keen on most of these

Honestly stickers are pretty aces, so more of those would be 👍🏻👍🏻

I want a deep tissue massage from a podcast host and/or guest of my choice, the length determined by the value of my contribution. Also I want a handwritten note.

I didn't think thank you messages could be sexy but you've only gone and pulled it off, Andrew. What about running some sort of patron competition to lyricise the wonderful BVSC theme song?

a pretty typical premium tier extra other shows offer (like Do Go On) is giving them the option to vote in special surveys on what topics and guests should be prioritised, and even handing over control of some or all of the episodes' direction to premium members

I think this idea could work really well as we're usually happy to get a bit looser with the bonus episodes and would be more than happy for topics to be nominated for us! - Andrew

I think that at 1000 dollars per month, you guys should publicly promise to eat Uluru in its entirety.
