Hey everyone!
In August I launched a Patreon for JUST ONE EPISODE, a podcast from me and Jackie Johnson of Natch Beaut that is, essentially, a brand new podcast every single week. Different genre, theme song, cover art. We truly had the best time doing it, and we just released episode 8 (the musical episode!) which is also our season finale. It’s not goodbye forever; we hope to be back with more episodes in the future.
Doing JUST ONE EPISODE with Jackie made me realize that I have a lot of amazing friends in the podcasting world who have other things to talk about besides the topic that they have chosen to talk about on their shows.
And we all know that the second you go on a tangent about something unrelated to your show topic, you start getting emails from people being like, “Excuse me? You spent two and a half minutes talking about the stuffing recipe your aunt makes at Thanksgiving? And I came here to hear about product recommendations? And I don’t even LIKE stuffing….?? I used to really like this show but I don’t think I’ll be listening anymore.” Yes, it happens.
So I reached out to my friend Nora McInerny—who hosts a podcast about death and grief and loss—and asked her if she’d be interested in talking about, oh, I don’t know, early aughts reality television? She was emphatic in her response.
Our second show, NOBODY ASKED: Revisiting The Early 2000s Reality TV That Shaped Our Lives, is hosted by me and by Nora McInerny. Our first two episodes about “Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica” are available to listen to right now for just $4.99/month. We record every Friday and release episodes over the weekend. We’re watching “Rich Girls” next.
The Patreon has now been renamed “Gee Thanks! and Friends” and my hope is that it can be a place where lots of your favorite hosts from lots of your favorite podcasts can create new shows with me.
Here’s how pricing works as of 10/3/2021:
$2/month: Support tier. No access to episodes, but a way for you to support the creation of new Gee Thanks! and Friends episodes. With support, we can continue to make new shows.
$4.99/month: Access to NOBODY ASKED with me and Nora. Request the shows you want us to revisit!
$8/month: Access to JUST ONE EPISODE season 1 and NOBODY ASKED.
I am really excited that we’re doing this, and I really hope you’ll join us for the ride!
xo,
Caroline (and Jackie! and Nora!)
