Not getting access to the Long Form articles as read by Tom?
We have been getting reports that people pledging more than $2/episode are not getting the Tom read longform articles. Note that there is a difference between your pledge and your tier (oddly enough). Make sure your tier is at the $2 level even if your pledge is more than that. You may also be on a custom pledge which also means you aren't on a tier. It's essentially like requesting no reward but wanting to pledge.Here is a link explaining how to change tiers. Let us know if you have any questions. https://support.patreon.com/hc/en-us/a...
