Hi everyone. This is Alexander Jane Ewell, CEO of Rusty Quill, with a short announcement about some changes we're needing to make regarding how we run our Patreon.

As you know, we like to take the time to personally thank every patron who donates at least $5 a month with a shout-out at the start of every one of our shows.

This support has been a huge factor in allowing us to grow the way we have, and we could not continue to produce

the content you know and love if it weren't for people's amazing generosity. Unfortunately,

it takes a surprisingly large amount of administration to ensure we thank every single person

on every single show, and, as our popularity has increased, so has the number of people that we

need to thank each episode. At this point,

we have to concede that this reward is just not sustainable in the long run. As a result,

from Friday 13th of March 2020, we are going to be discontinuing the reading of new patron names

at the start of episodes. To be clear, we are still going to honour every eligible patron who has

already supported us up to this point,

and we guarantee that their shoutouts will be read on all our current shows.

However, any new patrons who choose to support us after this date will not be eligible for a shoutout.

We understand that some people might be sad to hear this, but this change allows us to devote more time to improving our other

Patreon rewards, such as working on more bonus content, new merchandise, and releasing a full

six-part dark comedy series, which will be exclusively available to patrons later this year.

We'll be giving out more information on all of these in the coming weeks and months.

As always, we are incredibly grateful for everyone's support,

and we are going to continue doing everything in our power

to provide people with rewards that reflect just how much we value them.

That's all for now, apart from saying one more time,

we couldn't do this without you.
