April 2023 Patreon Update/Newsletter

Hey Skip Introthusiasts!

If you’re reading this, that’s because you are a patron! This channel would not be possible without your amazing support, and it certainly wouldn’t be as well-researched and in-depth.  Thank you from the bottom of my cold, empty heart.

Every month I try to put out a newsletter like this one, just to give you a heads up for what to expect and remind you if you missed anything!

First off, just want to say sorry for no Lil Skippy this week and for the mailbag being later than usual, I’ve been dealing with a stomach bug so just needed a couple days to get right.

My next video is going to be about How Network TV does Fentanyl, breaking down most episodes from currently active network shows that have done a fentanyl storyline over the past 5 or so years. I’ll be fact checking them (no, you can’t overdose from touching or looking at it) and then explaining how this kind of misinformation is dangerous. Technically going to be a copaganda episode but we got some medical and first responder dramas in there too. That’ll be out later this month.

How Abbott Elementary Teaches Us about School is doing very well, which is really validating. I’m really proud of how it turned out and that doesn’t always translate into views but it has this time and that’s just a great feeling—especially after getting roasted for my take on The Last of Us.

I’ve made a couple Lil Skippy videos which I’m having a lot of fun with. Check them out, subscribe, share them, do whatever! These are all going to be unlisted until I can get into a groove with them so for now they’re just being broadcasted to you special people, because I trust you! Don’t let me down….

The Live Mailbag for March is going to be this Sunday (4/16) at 5pm Pacific, as always there will be another thread for questions.

I’ve attached an updated Copaganda Reading List including all my fentanyl resources.
