Summary
We are thrilled to announce that THE ONCE AND FUTURE NERD is returning on January 30, 2022!
A few other important scheduling notes:
- We are switching to a monthly release schedule. Going forward, episodes will be released on the last Sunday of every month.
- One upside of that change is that we expect to release new episodes consistently for at least the remainder of 2022 and hopefully beyond.
- In line with this change, we’re switching our Patreon account to bill monthly, and also simplifying our reward tiers. You can find out all the details of that, or become a Patron at Patreon.com/onceandfuturenerd.
- Whether you already support us on Patreon or plan to start, make sure to select a reward tier before Jan 30, or Patreon will not send you your rewards!!
- All of Book One is now also available on our YouTube channel. We’ll also be posting a chapter of Book 2 on Wednesdays and Sundays leading up to the premiere of Book 2 Chapter 7. If you want to re-listen before the new episode and talk to other fans, you can post on social media using #TOAFNReRead
The full transcript of this conversation can be found here.
Thank you for your patience and continued support! We’ll see you on January 30th!!

| 0:00.0 | Hey everyone and welcome back to the once in future nerd. This is Christian. I'm here with Zach. |
| 0:15.4 | Hi everybody. Let's start with the big headline that you're all waiting for. The Once in Future Nerd is coming back, starting on January 30th. |
| 0:24.1 | From here on, we're going to be switching to a monthly release schedule. |
| 0:27.1 | Episodes will be on the last Sunday of every month. |
| 0:29.9 | The upside of this is that you will have new story content in your feed every month for at least the next year. |
| 0:36.4 | Yeah, obviously we did not intend on our break to be this long. |
| 0:41.7 | Part of it was figuring out how to record our very big cast safely in a pandemic, |
| 0:47.0 | and part of it was figuring out a schedule that's going to be sustainable going forward |
| 0:51.4 | because clearly the previous schedule was not. |
| 0:55.8 | We really think that this schedule will mean more reliable, consistent religiouses, which is, of course, better for everyone. |
| 1:01.5 | But in line with the scheduling change, we're also going to be making changes to our Patreon. |
| 1:06.9 | Yeah. So the short version of that is our patrons will now be charged monthly rather than per episode, but that will line up with our episodes being released monthly. We're also going to be simplifying our reward tiers. I don't want to get into all of the details of the reward tiers here in the main feed, but if you support us on Patreon or you think you might, and you care about |
| 1:28.6 | those details, all that information is available right now at patreon.com slash once and future nerd. |
| 1:34.4 | If you don't support us on Patreon yet, this is the time where we'd really like to make our |
| 1:39.0 | pitch about why you should. Yeah. So look, the Once in Future nerd has always been an extremely ambitious show. |
| 1:47.2 | We think that's part of what makes it special, and hopefully you agree with that. |
| 1:52.0 | But to put it very bluntly, trying to duct tape and bubblegum it all together at our current |
| 1:57.3 | funding levels has just not been working. |
| 1:59.8 | Right. Part of the delay we've had in |
| 2:01.9 | releasing these next episodes during the pandemic was this catch 22 we ran into where we couldn't |
| 2:07.8 | make any new stuff without cash on hand to pay the talent, but we couldn't raise cash without |
| 2:13.2 | releasing new stuff. So that really delayed our ability to produce during the pandemic, and we'd like |
