Thank you, dear listener, for being here. And since you ARE here: did you know that we very literally could not make this podcast if not for the support we receive on Patreon? It's true: the ads you hear, even for national brands you know, make us negligible amounts of revenue. Without the Patreon, we would not still be here.
If you joined during our last campaign back in 2020, we're so grateful you did and that you've remained. And we love making podcasts for you so much that we want to do EVEN MORE. So we're making changes AND offering new stuff we hope will draw in listeners who still haven't joined us on Patreon.
A Bendy, Flexible Second Show!
We thought about how we wanted to offer more Podcast Stuff while keeping things relatively simple on Patreon and here's where we landed: a second weekly Extra Hot Great episode for supporters of the show!
We'll start with a lead topic. Maybe it's a second big show of the week or a season-end revisit; perhaps something thematic like Bad Wigs Week, or maybe we got transported to September 1996 and go from there. We'll then fold in Extra Extra Hot Great topics as extended Extra Credit-style segments.
That's the base of the show and where we go from there depends on you! The more support we can generate, the more we offer. Here's what on tap:

Not Quite Winners and Losers Of The Week Cherry-picked industry talk generated from the 20+ winners and losers we don't pick in the main show. Plus we'll toss in some servicey news to keep you in the loop on what's coming up in TV land.
Not Quite Top 11 Lists When we are recording in advance we'll swap out the above and get listy with our ourselves like the not quite top 11 list of Intriguing One-Season TV Shows Of The 1970s and 1980s I Have Not Heard Of Until Now.
