We want to try a thing — Video podcasts update
🕑 Added 2021-10-26 16:48:42 +0000 UTCHey there! We've been talking about experimenting with something which will affect the benefits $5+ patrons receive.
Spotify recently released a new feature that enables video podcasts for people listening (and now watching) in the Spotify app. We decided to give this a shot, as they’re encouraging creators to try it and may help signal boost podcasts that use it.
This means our video podcasts are going to essentially be public, so we also thought we might as well release some of these upcoming video podcasts episodes on the Beyond the Screenplay YouTube channel. Our hope is that the added video element brings more listeners to the show and helps the podcast grow.
Obviously, all this means that video podcasts will no longer be exclusive to $5+ patrons. You'll still have exclusive access to our "What We're Watching" series, and we have plans for more shows after we finish Foundation (True Detective S1, perhaps?).
If this ends up being a permanent situation, we'll cook up a new fun benefit for you (if you have specific ideas or requests let us know in the comments!)
Thank you for supporting Beyond the Screenplay and helping our show grow!

I support BtS because I enjoy the things you guys create. I want you to be able to make more things. The tiers of benefits don’t influence me much. I *love* the monthly bonus episode/review. I’m ok with making video episodes public. (I hope the interactions don’t move over to Spotify as a whole, as I don’t use that platform. )
I am casting my vote to bring back the monthly Q and A episodes.

How about a "What we're playing" series? I'd love to hear more takes on video games from the team.
Personally I don‘t mind if you release the episodes public - I‘m paying for the content but if that helps to reach more people then that is a win for everyone in my book. True Detective S1 would be fantastic, one of the greatest seasons of TV ever produced and I haven‘t seen it since it released.
