The Patreon Podcast - Episode 50 - BUTTHOLES

As a trainee therapist the sentence "I get to go to a place and I get to shit all my feelings out and leave them there for someone else to clean up" speaks to me on a deep level XD

Daniel Shenton

You know I would love it if you did a Patreon community Let's Play or something (on stream maybe?) Also you did promise one on The Ship 7 years ago...

Stan Gaskell

Dan. You literally have a Video playing Mercenaries 2

I really enjoyed the E3 content, probably because I could tell you were having good time with them too. As always, the best content is the stuff you have enjoyed making. If you want to go down the route of a news-like format, I'd be happy to watch them all. As far as a program format and schedule, I think TotalBiscuit had it right with his "Content Patch" series: produce an episode when there's either enough stuff to talk about or something timely has occurred, have a variety of content and put timestamps to sections in the video descriptions so fussy people can skip right past the bits they don't care for. Don't stick to a super-rigid structure if that doesn't help you (and I get the feeling you don't flourish in artificial constraints), and don't be afraid to cover things which aren't video-gaming news. If you want to talk about a board-game, or a movie, or a Lego set that has you excited, I would listen to your thoughts on it too. In short: just talk about stuff you care about, because I like listening to people who care.

Paul Turner

I agree with you on Jim Sterling. I think he's wasted on the videos he makes now. He's hilarious but he just makes basically the exact same video every day. It's gotten to the point that whenever he puts out a new video I genuinely think I've seen it before and it's just a reupload

Mathieu Marlaire

Also if the news stuff is gonna be all that goes up on the YouTube channel I think it needs to be more than weekly, but if there's miscellaneous weird and/or edited stuff mixed in then weekly would be great. Also also, a quick "how my day/week was" podcast sounds fun.

Narmatonia

I think with all the books he has to sign, Dan's wrist will be getting more use than before he met Rebecca!

Narmatonia

Dan is slowly turning into Steve and it’s great

Dean Chambers

The news sounds fucking amazing, also if we just heard about your day, I would be super happy. I love hearing about you and Rebecca and the dogs in a domestic life. It’s like a BTS but more and better.

Max Tal

I appreciate you asking for patience, but we were all ready to wait until early-mid next year at least. I hope everyone's getting enough rest.

Tom Chaney

I think short videos whenever something interesting comes out or is announced is a great idea! If you try sticking to a regular schedule, that’ll just result in worse videos when there’s nothing to talk about. As for Patreon, maybe daily is a bit too much, but I would enjoy more regular updates.

ICE Trance

Gave up all my social media a few years ago and it was one of the best things I have ever done. (Still stuck on Reddit though😀) Will the news vids be sort of like the old Dodger on Polaris style video? (Obviously not on camera though)

Gentle Grudge

making yourself a little positive island on youtube shouldn't be too much of a departure, seeing as your twitch channel is already filling that role!

"Old endgame lost of old, play and lose and have done with losing".

I Will watch everything you do, so more vids more often, even if its only 2 min long, i'll watch it!

Charlie harrysson

Only thing to be wary of would be burning out on the news stuff again. Remember soup with Nerdcubed?

Well Read Nomad

First of all, I just wanted to say it is great to hear you sound genuinely happy. I was a bit sad that you deleted all your tweets but after your explanation I understand why you did it and it clearly had a positive effect on you. I can't wait for the book, hearing you sound so passionate about it makes me even more excited. Regarding the game news style videos, I think it would be great if you did weekly 5-10 minute videos and if news about something you're really excited about comes out you could do a 1-2 minute video (something like OMGH videos on the Jim Stirling's channel but shorter).

Filip 'PhilTheDead' Kwasniewski

I had a problem with watch Twitch late, really disturbed my sleep patterns and didn't realise how much it effected my mental health in a negative way. I've limited it to certain hours now.

Kim Clarke

I'd watch a weekly update, daily would be far too much and you need to make it manageable.

Kim Clarke

Shit, I'll be at Cox Con in less than a month

Craig (CraigUntlNytTym) Penfold

I entirely agree with Theo Shepard here I would prefer weekly content but I think it would come out better If you were making it whenever you found something really interesting

I wouldn't mind a daily news video. BUT. I think you would probably do better segments if you had time to gather news items and really works on it. I think I'd prefer a weekly news video, like you did before, but I'm okay with daily too.

Bjorn van Rijszen

Hey Regan and I both had teeth removed this week, now I don't feel so much like the odd one out.Take all the time you need for the book I've waited this long, it can be my Christmas present to myself 😂

“I want you to not have to hide it when people come around.” It says fuck on the cover. There’s no way I’m going to hide it.

Arcade Cat

I know you were probably joking with the everyday thing, but I wouldn’t mind more regular engagement on here since you’ve pulled back on YouTube and pulled out of Twitter. I’m glad things are going well for you.

Anthony Phillips

I'd prefer a weekly news video than shorter daily ones.

Jellex

I'd also like to see some short videos where you take one of your Dr Who episodes and condense it down to a few minutes, leaving disjointed jokes and barely any plot that is hard to follow entirely voiced by you with sketches by rebecca (or even you)

a weekly dose will give me something to look forward to, but you just making news on whatever you find interesting whenever you want to make it feels more like you, which is why i watch you

Thanks, I needed this.

Jellex

Please sort out the file naming! It is murder to sort when they are titled DDMMYY >.<

Gotta love a good title

Night shift break is sorted!! Cheers guys
