Summary

Bit of a reminder — our contract with Wondery has ended, which means the ad support that kept the free podcast feed running has disappeared.

While we work out the next steps, we’re releasing The Patreon Tapes — a special run of 5 episodes that will never be available for free anywhere else.

These episodes are our way of keeping the pod alive while we rebuild — and they’re only available to our supporters on Patreon.

👉 Join us here: patreon.com/distantpod

We know not everyone wants to sign up for a monthly tier, so we’ve also made it possible to buy individual episodes from our Patreon shop — no subscription needed.

💸 Get The Patreon Tapes 4 (and all the others) now — and keep the lights on at Distant Pod Towers.

You’ll also find:

🛍️ Our brand-new merch store – https://sdsb2025.myshopify.com

🎟️ Tour 2026 tickets – on sale now at distantpod.com/live

Thank you so much to everyone who’s supported us, subscribed, bought an episode, or picked up some merch — you’re the reason this show still exists ❤️

🛍️ NEW MERCH ALERT

We’ve launched a brand new merch store — mugs, hoodies, prints and more!

If you fancy supporting the pod that way, head here 👇

There might be another Patreon tape coming because we're still in the middle of meetings. So I'm not sure as the honest answer. By we, Steph means Steph. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. We're got one at 12 o'clock. I can't wait to be told what we're doing. We are up to our eyeballs. We really are. We are snowed under the meetings. And we got to work full-time as a lecturer. We did some good lectures yesterday, though, didn't we? In fairness. Fair play to us.
