NotACast Patreon Revamp and Welcome to our High Lords and Ladies!
🕑 Added 2019-07-29 16:00:03 +0000 UTC
Hello patrons and non-patrons alike! Today, we come to you with great joy which is to all people: we are revamping our patreon!
We have been blessed by so much support from people as we've gone through A Game of Thrones. In the 20 months since we started our project. Just to give you guys some stats. As of the end of July, we've had nearly 700,000 downloads of our podcast, 2500+ followers on podbean, 381 ratings on Apple Podcast and 864 patrons here on patreon.
All of that is not intended as a brag. Rather, we are overjoyed and floored by the support you've given us. From bottom of both our hearts, we thank you for everything you've done for us these past 20 months. You all mean the world to us, and we're excited to bring ACOK to your asses very soon! (Phrasing?)
Here on patreon, we've aspired to provide not just content but community. And we're thrilled that you all have made our little community what is here on patreon. And it's in that light that we have revamped our patreon to better foster our community.
So, how have we done that? Let's talk!
Creation of a brand, new tier: The High Lords and Ladies at $20/month
We've been honored by our Kingsguard patrons, and much as we updated our "Lords Commander" patron tier some time ago, we are promoting our Kingsguard to "High Lords and Ladies!"
And what are the perks of this brand, new tier? I'll tell you!
- An exclusive slack available for High Lords and small council patrons
- Our new behind the scenes patreon-only track where you get Emmett and me talking about Emmett’s cats, my daughters/the joys of parenthood and once in a while … hot, new TWOW gossip and rumors -- this will also be available for our small council too!
- 3-day early release for all general episodes, 2-day early release for all patreon episodes
- You can create special titles that we will shout out at the end of every episode!
But wait, what about your kingsguard? You can't get rid of the protectors of the realm (and podcast), right? Right, you are! Our white cloaks shall remain with some new benefits!
- Kingsguard patrons will go from $20 to $15 month
- You'll now get regular episodes 3 days early and patreon episodes 2-days early!
Just as an FYI, for those current Kingsguard who wish to remain Kingsguard, you will need to manually adjust your contribution level down to $15. Otherwise, you’ll automatically become a high lord!
But wait, there's more for everyone else!
- All current tiers will get episodes one day earlier than before, because …
- Poor Fellows will now receive episodes 1-day early! So, every regular NotACast episode will come out for you all on the Sunday before the general release date on Monday!
Finally, we have heard your cries and lamentations, and merch is finally coming!
We have spoken with friend of the show and all human beings Mallory AKA Sanrixian, and she is currently mocking up T-shirt designs!
Our plan is to present all of you with the designs and then have you all vote on which one you’d like. The winnning design will become a shirt that will be shipped to our Small Council, High Lords, Kingsguard and Sworn Swords at no cost beyond your patronage.
For all others (including non-patrons!), the T-shirt can be purchased through TeePublic!
Thank you again for your kind patronage and support for us these past 20 months. Many of of our patrons have been with us since the beginning. And even if you’ve just joined us, we love you all the same! And if you're a non-patron and reading this, we love you all too! Truly, we have been blessed by having you all as listeners, supporters and friends. And if you want to check out our patreon and its different tiers, don't be shy! Come on by!
We look forward to many months and years to come with you all.
Onto A Clash of Kings!
Much love,
Emmett and Jeff

Aw, that's just about the sweetest thing I've read today. Thanks Lone Stark! And (Jeff here), if you ever have any questions on what to send in a care package to your son, I'm your huckleberry!
Lightning Lord
Just upgraded sworn sword from poor fellow. Absolutely love the analysis you two bring. You make the car rides to and from work a joy. Keep up the amazing work and cant wait for more STANNIS!

Gentlemen - As I just upgraded to Sworn Sword patron, I now lay my house sword Bevo at your feet in token and pledge of my fealty. Seriously though, you guys are the best. Jeff, you remind me so much of my son who is currently serving in the Marines: all tough, disciplined, military man on the outside, all sweet, sentimental boy on the inside. And Emmett, you are brilliant and lovely and a joy to listen to and learn from. Thank you for all the time and effort you both put in to bringing the ASOIAF community stellar content. I look forward to bombarding you with questions, and I can't wait for my Sanrixian-designed t-shirt!
Bonnie
So quote shirt that says "you're wrong and ugly" I hope

Congrats on your current success! I cannot wait for the next book and the arrival of the one true king as well as what new surprises lie ahead. Best of luck in prep for ACOK prologue!
