Just a reminder for new patrons
🕑 Added 2021-08-03 19:58:11 +0000 UTCIn case you missed the "Note" in the about sections when you signed up for the patreon, and to answer this question for new patrons (because it comes up often), I'll answer it ahead of time. Hope this helps! Thanks for all the support!
Question:
"Why aren't all the old episodes Ad-Free?"
Answer 1:
Did you add the unique RSS feed url to iTunes?
If Yes, then you may be listening to older episodes. Here is a quote from the About section on the patreon page when you sign up:
"Note: Ad-free episodes started with 5x15. Additionally, all bonus content prior to 6/14/2021 was contained in a separate episodes. All of these previous episodes are still available to download on their own with your unique RSS feed, or on the Patreon app/website. To make things a bit easier for new patrons, beginning with episode 6x11, all of the weekly half hour bonus content will added to the Ad-Free, extended editions of the regular free episodes."
The Ad-Free episodes were a new addition that I didn't know I was able to do until Feb earlier this year after speaking to my network contacts at Audioboom.
Answer 2:
If No, this link should you get the correct RSS feed in your iTunes app so that you can listen to the episodes directly from Patreon instead of the free regular feed that's already available on iTunes: support.patreon.com/hc/en-us/articles/360041347732--How-to-use-your-custom-audio-RSS-link

Could I possibly get the link to the discord server? Can't figure out where to find it. Thank you! This is my favorite podcast of all time!!

I’m still having trouble with the RSS link.

So I had to play around myself a couple of times with the RSS link to finally figure it out. One of the "key things" that I had to do was make an account on whatever podcast app I was using the RSS link on. I use Pocket Casts. The other thing is some podcast apps do not support RSS Links. Spotify is one of them! Remember that email that everyone including myself got with the custom RSS link when we first supported LNM? This is very important! If you havent already deleted the email, then find that first email that Andrew sent out with the RSS link. There should be something along the lines of "About RSS Links". Click on that and depending on if you have an iPhone or Android is what podcast apps are going to be supported. Spotify is NOT supported on iPhone OR Android! I thought I would save everyone new and old the trouble lol. Hope this helps!!😀😊

Thank you! I’ll give that a try! 😊

Hello! She advised me to not listen via the email link that I received which I was doing. Is that what you are doing? Once I get the email and know a new episode is available I go to Spotify immediately since it seems to get the regular episode first or go here to Patreon later to listen to the full version. The email link is “weak link”. 🤷🏻♀️ I hope this helps.

@musicforjen-Can you tell me what your daughter advised? I’ve been having the same issue. Thanks!
Musicforjen
I called my 20 year old daughter and she straightened me out. Thanks Andrew! Just continue producing your terrific podcast…💕
Andrew Tate
So, these are technical issues that I honestly wouldn't know where to begin in helping. My suggestions and advice is the same as in this update. Outside of that, that would be a technical issue to contact patreon help services. Sorry about that, I have no idea why that would happen. I just make the podcast and pray patreon works!

I just joined and am having the same issue of the episode turning off when the screen locks on my iPhone. I’ve only listened on Spotify in the past and am not clear on any of the above terms.
MandyM
Sometimes it pauses for me when I lock it but usually, the play controls are on my screen so I just hit play again and it works. I'm using an iphone.
Andrew Tate
I'm not sure what way your referring to. The Custom RSS Feed, on the Patreon website, or on the Patreon app?
Joe Fry
Is this the only way to listen to the content? It keeps shutting off if the screen locks etc .. it’s rubbish

I thought I smoked to much before listening sometimes, I stg.🤣 😂

I believe that story has been removed. I can't remember the reason but it was either at the request of the author, some kind of missing information, or a deleted reddit profile. There are a number a reasons why a reddit story sometimes has to be removed. This is why I do not include reddit stories anymore and avoid this. sorry about that.
Carissa Kennedy
Can anyone please tell me what episode “The Bag Lady” is in?
Andrew Tate
Is it just me, or does patreon add in extra spaces between words sometimes?
Raquel Viviana
