Talking Simpsons Patreon Audio FAQ!
🕑 Added 2017-06-16 16:51:24 +0000 UTC Bob and Henry quit their jobs and launched a Talking Simpsons Patreon!!! What new things will be offered there? What does this mean for the podcast’s glorious future? All of that and MORE will be revealed!--------------
Of course, it’s possible you have some questions about all of this, seeing as this Patreon puts us in a kind of unique position. For this reason, we’ve put together a brief FAQ that should tell you everything you need to know:
What about your cushy jobs? – Seriously, Bob and Henry have quit their boring-ass jobs so they can focus full-time on Talking Simpsons content. That’s why they’re depending on this Patreon to (hopefully) pay their rent and living expenses while they focus on more Talking Simpsons and podcast related content!
Are the currently free podcasts going away? – NO! No matter the results of this Patreon, the weekly installments of Talking Simpsons won’t be going anywhere. We’re doing this to support Bob and Henry doing this full-time and creating way more content on top of the weekly show! But Talking Simpsons will remain free for future episodes and available in all the regular spots.
What exactly will this Patreon offer? – That depends on what milestones we hit, but in general, we want this to offer MORE. We feel we’re just scratching the surface of being Simpsons historians, and we hope you feel the same way. At launch, we’ve already got the second episode of Talking Critic, a special interview with an Executive Producer on classic Simpsons video games, and a special video of the hosts watching the unaired Simpsons pilot!
What kind of Patreon exclusives will this arrive in the future? – We want to do a Talking Critic for EVERY episode of that series. We want to cover other Simpsons related shows as well, like Mission Hill and Futurama. We want more interviews more people involved in The Simpsons. We want to make in-depth videos about lost Simpsons merchandise and books. We want to do a show where we cover all sorts of animation in the same way as The Simpsons! And with your help, we think we can do all that and more!
What about the Laser Time Patreon? – As we mentioned on the big explainer podcast, Laser Time is its own separate venture that already supports other folks. It wouldn’t be sustainable paying Bob and Henry if they took some of that budget. Instead, we created the Patreon.com/TalkingSimpsons so Bob and Henry can work on this show full-time, instead of after hours at some crappy job. However, Talking Simpsons’ Patreon succeeding does mean that Bob and Henry will have bigger roles in the Laser Time franchise, so supporting this Patreon supports Laser Time as well. Just this last week, Bob and Henry appeared on multiple Laser Time podcasts and videos, and you can expect many more in the future.
What about the first season and the season wrap ups? – Those won’t be leaving the Laser Time Patreon, but they’ll also be living on Patreon.com/TalkingSimpsons just to make sure new listeners get everything in the same place.
Any more questions? Please, leave them in the comments, and we’ll answer you as soon as we can. We’re really hoping for the best for this Patreon, so even if you can’t give, please spread the word!

I didn't even finish listening--please take my monies. I've loved this podcast since the start, I've never regretted supporting LT for a second, and I'll definitely throw my hat in for this, too. (And like Henry, I'm guilty of throwing a lot of my earned Patreon money back at Patreon. It's such a good platform for supporting all the creators I love that it's hard to resist.)

Happy to support you guys, my favourite podcast producers. Would love some shorter anime like FLCL or Macross Plus, which wouldn't take too many episodes to cover. So happy to see you guys doing something you love full time <3
