The Colin's Last Stand Podcast: An Update!

A podcast once a week would be amazing. I support at a higher level, and will always do so as long as your work is available!

Anthony Wright

Thanks for providing some rationale, it makes sense. Like I said, more of a quibble than anything. I just really wanna see this podcast happen. I love the focused nature of CLS and I definitely feel more educated from it, but I would also love to hear musings on random topics as well (games, music, etc). Either way, keep on teaching, Colin!

Jeremy Echols

This is a fantastic idea Colin!

Austin Tex Perez

Been a patron since day one. This is the best thing on the internet at the moment, and more of it can not hurt. My wife was introduced to you through Kinda Funny, as I have followed you for a decade, but she didn't care about the games. Keep doing what you are doing. As a current member of the Military (11 years in the Infantry), this channel gives me fuel for discussion, and helps me teach new guys some life lessons that they lack now days due to the liberal slant they have all be forced to take in since enlisting. You have helped me change opinions for the betterment of many new and young men. Keep it up Colin. My patronage is not going anywhere.

Hi Colin. I appreciate the open discussion of this idea. Personally I'd like to see (or in this case, hear) you put out a podcast whenever you are able, regardless of hitting a 5k patron threshold. The threshold seems a bit odd to me because it is not like going from 4,999 to 5,000 will really afford you more time to be able to do it - as from the sound of things it seems you're already flat-out making the content you've proven to deliver on a regular basis, as well as engaging with the community. And as you've said over and over again it's not really about the money, so why connect back to that for this?

Voting with my wallet and now a proud CLS patron. Keep fighting the good fight Colin, can't wait to see what you come up with next!!

Tom

The content has been great, keep up the good work.

Brian Fagan

This is great to hear. I have missed your music input.

Chris Johan

Why a measure of patrons? Doesn't seem at all fair to people that want this and have the money to support it. A monthly dollar amount goal just makes more sense to me.

crispyn64

Fair enough. We appreciate the hard work you already do Colin.

Less content, less stress > More content, more stress. I won't say I'm speaking for anyone else, but I can imagine many of the folks on Patreon are here for a marathon, not a spring. Would hate to see you spread too thin across too much content. That said, random topic podcast YES please!!

Steven Camilo

Well, I didn't go with the dollar amount because I don't want people stressing that. The idea of going by sub count was to remove that barrier of entry, and to make everyone "even," as it were. Whether you give $1, or $5, or $10, or whatever, you're all contributing to the end goal. As usual, I cannot win, but I felt it was a nice idea, nonetheless. We'll see what the response is, and if the show becomes a reality or not. I'm always open to changing things, but I don't really see a better solution. Thank you for your feedback!

Colin Moriarty

Thanks!

Colin Moriarty

Yeah, I definitely don't have time to edit another video a week. No way. Sorry!

Colin Moriarty

I appreciate your feedback! Like I said, nothing will change for the video output, regardless of if we hit the goal. I've been consistent. I've done 39 episodes of the show since April 3rd, produced, researched, written, edited, and posted by myself. So yeah, you have a point, but the goal is what I set it to, and hopefully, we'll get to it.

Colin Moriarty

Seems like I share the same quibble with everyone else, which is the 5000 subs mark. God knows how much I want a Colin M podcast, but I'm already subbed - not much else I personally can do to help. I think that, if we were shooting for a dollar amount, that would be a more realistic ask, as I would be willing to bump my pledge up a notch or so to get us closer to our goal. I can (and do) share your vids with my ppl, but I don't have any control over whether any of them sub or not. At least, with a monetary goal, I could help more than I am now, you know?

Jeremy Echols

Audio only version of the podcast? So we won't get to "see" you talk?

Dan117

Well said.

I have a feeling that the idea of requiring 5,000 patrons every month will end up losing subs to you. A lot of people probably subscribed again when you announced the podcast. If the goal isn't reached and no podcasts come out then the people who came for the podcast will just leave for good. People like consistency. Your fans, including myself, look forward to seeing a video come out every Monday and Thursday. How many faithful fans would you still have though if there was the threat of no videos even coming out if not enough subscribers paid for it? Posting this video to Patreon is also kind of preaching to the choir, it should be on YouTube. The work you put into your videos is incredible. The prospect of doing the podcast probably feels like stretching yourself too thin and I get that. I love you and everything you do. That's just my two cents on the matter.

Matthew Hudson

Me too!

Colin Moriarty

Thanks ma! Call you this weekend.

Colin Moriarty

Well, good?! =)

Colin Moriarty

Sounds awesome! Really hoping it all comes together.

I'd love this to happen. Fingers crossed. And...ah, a flamingo! Oh yeah! Memories... 😘❤️😉

BettyAnn Moriarty

That is way better than anything I was thinking.

Someone recommended Colin's Last Cast, which I kinda like.

Colin Moriarty

You'll get some game discussion right off the bat.

Colin Moriarty

Sounds great! I'm curious what the name of the show will be.

Me too!

Colin Moriarty

Thank you!

Colin Moriarty

I truly think it will be.

Colin Moriarty

I have no idea. I don't pay close attention to the ebbs and flows anymore.

Colin Moriarty

It'll prove there's an audience, and it'll convince me to add even more hours to my already insane work schedule. I think it's fair.

Colin Moriarty

Was it the Charlottesville's episode that dropped us below 5000?

Misty

Not sure how I feel about the 5000 patron gate for the podcast. I hope it happens.

The Podcast sounds like it's going to be awesome.

Cameron Paterson

Really looking forward to the podcast, Colin! (and hopefully some video game discussions every now and then :D)

Really looking forward to this. I hope it works out.

Hopefully it will happen. I'm sure it will be a great success Colin. 😁
