Thank you for the episode title -- I played the eponymous track on a continuous loop for half an hour as I walked home through San Francisco after fainting during my covid vaccination, and feel much better now.

I can't attach an image here, but this is how episode 218 and all other episodes have always been published with these settings.

Well the episode isn't "missing" - I just haven't published it yet. But anyone who donates $5 and up should see the one here.

There is indeed an issue. I'm subscribed at $5/month (US subscriber, so no exchange rate issues) -- the bonus material for 218 is available, but the main episode shows up as locked, asking me to join to unlock. Episode 218 is also missing from the public (non-Patreon) RSS feed.

Nothing has changed as far as I know. Maybe exchange rates? Not sure.

I think something changed this week, possibly only for non-USD patrons. I used to get both episodes at once (early, I presume) and this week only the bonus episode showed up. My pledge was $4USD – I don’t remember if that was custom or not. I just updated it to the standard pledge level which is £4.50GBP and the main episode instantly showed up in my podcast feed. I think non-USD pledge levels are a relatively recent addition to Patreon, so maybe something was lost in translation? Either way, happy to bump my monthly payment a little to keep receiving both shows as soon as humanly possible. Hope this is a useful data point.

All standard patrons see it in their feed. If you don’t it must be because you’re contributing below the standard level. But that doesn’t mean we don’t still love and appreciate you! Because we do! You’ll have to wait to receive it like our non supporting listeners, which will be on Monday.
