Welcome to the Spawn Chunks episode number 51 for Monday August 5th

2019. My name is Johnny, but the internet knows me as

Pixarifs and joining me as always is my good friend Joel Duggan. Hey Joel

Hello hello hello. And it is Patron Appreciation Day. It is the first day of the first podcast of the month and so we always like to extend a bit of thanks to our patrons especially now we're moving into a full year of the show.

There are people who've been supporting us for nearly a full year on

patreon and we want to tip our hats to those people especially and anyone else who's

coming to support us. Also while we've got our hats off we may as well come to you hat in

hand and remind you that for

as little as $1 per show, which is about $4 or $5 a month, you, dear listener, can support the show and

get access to bonus content like the render distance, our discord community and other stuff we feel like road testing with our patrons.

Because we've been thinking about it as the year rolls on and as we've kind of been doing the podcast for longer and longer,

we've come up with a variety of patron rewards kind of been doing the podcast for longer and longer. We've come up with a variety of

patron rewards kind of on the fly that have been, they weren't necessarily offered when

we started our Patreon campaign to begin with. So this is a constantly evolving beast

and I thought it was worth reminding folks as we as we move

into a year of the show that things are moving forward all the time.

Absolutely and and the forward momentum is very much influenced by the discord and by the people that are members of the sponge chunks because we always ask like, hey, is this a good idea?

Do you guys, what do you guys think about this? We have a couple of smaller chat rooms that are, you know, reserved for some of the people that support us to the higher levels to talk about a little bit more the technical side of things, but when it comes to rewards that are going to be available

for everybody, we always just post them in the general chat and be like, hey, so we're thinking about

doing this, what do you guys think? Especially when it comes to like the format of the show,

content of the show, because everybody listens to that, right?

And if nothing else, we get a nice update about what everyone's been doing in Minecraft lately.
