More Patreon Posts? Maybe
FYI, starting March 1st, we're going to be in a new program aiming to boost discovery on Patreon. In order to do so, we'll need to include 3 - 4 public posts per week on our Patreon feed.

So, you may see some extra posts when the public version of the podcast goes live or posts for the group stream or the highlight videos Gabby's been making. It's all in the hopes that we ca...
