Welcome New Patrons! Here's Helpful Information On Subscriptions, Upcoming What A Cartoon! Episodes, And MORE!

Hi everyone! Henry here, and we want to welcome all the new folks who signed up this week, as well as thank everyone who's been a member throughout our existence! All your support has been incredible and empowered us to do this full-time with two new weekly podcasts in addition to Talking Simpsons awesomeness! You are all the best and we couldn't have done it without you!

But now that you're here, perhaps you have some questions about both the way Patreon works AND how Talking Simpsons' Patreon-exclusives work. Well, fret not, we won't leave you hanging any longer. Here are some answers to frequently asked questions:

1) How do I get these exclusive podcasts?

Once you sign up at the $5 and above level on Patreon you'll get sent an RSS link in the confirmation email for all of our exclusive podcasts, which includes Talking Futurama, Talking Critic, and all our interviews, as well as the week-early and ad-free episodes of What A Cartoon! and Talking Simpsons. If you don't have the email handy, you can also find the exclusive RSS link on the Patreon front page for Talking Simpsons. It's in the circled area below on the "Overview" section:

Just put that RSS feed into whatever you use to download podcasts and you'll download the files ASAP after we post them on the Patreon.

2) When are new episodes posted?

We keep a pretty tight schedule on things here at Talking Simpsons, but it has been adjusted some for the new era of shows. Here's the schedule currently:

Monday Morning - What A Cartoon!
Wednesday Morning - Talking Simpsons
Friday Morning - Talking Futurama

With various bonus interviews sprinkled in along the way, as well as our monthly community podcast, Talk To The Audience!??!! We're really making sure your support goes a long way!

3) Could you explain the What A Cartoon! Schedule, please?

Why, certainly! Unlike Talking Simpsons or Talking Futurama, where the next podcast subject is obviously the next chronological episode, the open nature of What A Cartoon! makes it harder to predict and thus harder for listeners to prepare for. So, every month or so we'll give you a preview of the upcoming subjects so you can watch ahead and prepare! Here are the next five episodes and what you should watch to be ready!

Steven Universe "Gem Glow/Laser Light Canon"
Ren & Stimpy "Black Hole/Stimpy's Invention"
Bobby's World "Swim By Me"
Dexter's Laboratory "The Way Of The Deedee"
Kill La Kill "Episode 1"

Dexter's Lab and Steven Universe are all easily found on Hulu (at least in the US), Ren & Stimpy is on sale on venues like Prime Video, Bobby's World is free with Amazon Prime memberships, and Kill La Kill is on both Netflix and Crunchyroll right now. You can also find some of these on YouTube or other shadier parts of the internet, so we hope these aren't too obscure.

Hope that answers all your burning questions for now, and if you have any other ansers, I'll be hanging around in the replies ready to illuminate! Have a great day and thanks so much again for supporting us on Patreon! We won't let you down!
