Episode 214 Transcript

Corinne

This is the episode you’ve been waiting for! We’re going to reveal our big news.

Virginia

Burnt Toast and Big Undies have moved to Patreon!

Corinne

We’re going to get into the how and the why, and then we’re going to answer some pretty juicy listener questions.

Virginia

This is very exciting. It's our first week over on Patreon. We’re still, to be honest, at the time of this recording, figuring out how to use Patreon? I would say?

Corinne

Virginia

We're still learning our way around, which I’m sure is the experience that many listeners are also having. Unless you were already a longtime Patreon user, which I think a lot of you were. I mean, I think a lot of us use Patreon. But it’s all new. It’s different. How are you feeling, Corinne?

But it was a really big question of how to move these businesses, how to do it without us losing big financially, and in terms of both of these brands till having our communities. We didn’t want to leave and have nobody follow us.

Corinne

Also, I think there’s an argument to be made that letting Substack turn into a Nazi-only platform is not useful.

Virginia

For sure, that has been my response for a long time, when folks asked. If we all leave, then only the Nazis remain. And that is a real concern. I think that’s what we saw happen to Twitter, for sure. So many people lef
