How to Subscribe

Jarrod Lombardo (he-him)

This might work for someone who only uses patreon for this one show, but some people support tens of creators (I'm at over 50) so we can't use this workaround. I submitted on the Fireside website ~8 times and it never sent me an email until after I emailed Dan and then I assume he poked something because then I got an email without submitting the form again.

Also having issues getting the bonus episodes to show up and I’ve followed the instructions multiple times. I’m using Overcast, which wouldn’t accept the URL initially. I guess I will try resubscribing?

My feed repopulated with episodes in Overcast within the last couple of days, several days since my last attempt to fix the feed. Now I'm dowloading ~14 episodes. I've forgotten: as a patron, do I get the same version of the regular episodes as the general public? Are there ads ("sponsors")?

Oka I figured out a fix/workaround to the problem. Once you pick a tier and go to the website https://roadwork.fireside.fm/patrons and give it your email, the email you should get never comes. I cancelled my account. Registered a new account with a different email. Waited 24 hours for fireside to see the new account. Went back to the fireside link. Entered the new email. I finally get the correct email with the correct feed. I copied to OverCast and everything showed up. Relief!

Same

Yep, same deal here

Same for me. Still receiving the "For your member feed to work, you'll need to explicitly select a Tier on Patreon so they system knows which content to include in your feed..." message via email. The My Membership tab reports my current tier as Squadron Leader.

Edit: i got the URL in my feed but the OPML doesn’t load and says there is nothing in the feed. I have the URL from Patreon but it only shows the last bonus show as being from Jan 17.

I’m getting an error too. Still not working. 😟

Same here! :-)

I’m experiencing the same issue as Frank and I have screenshots to prove it ;)

Dan, thanks for bearing with us! I'm sure it's frustrating. I've selected a Tier (Squadron Leader), but when I submit my email on the Fireside page, I still get an email saying that I haven't selected a tier. I've tried switching tiers, canceling and re-subscribing, but nothing works. I still get the "You must select a tier" email. It seems like there's a disconnect between Patreon and Fireside. Is anyone else having this particular issue?

I think this is the way you do it with Apple Podcasts app: https://www.macworld.com/article/234395/how-to-add-a-podcast-by-url-feed-to-podcasts-app-castro-overcast-pocketcasts.html

Unsubscribing

Still not seeing bonus episodes since January. Followed all instructions. Using overcast. Why is this a problem?
