Bit of a reminder — our contract with Wondery has ended, which means the ad support that kept the free podcast feed running has disappeared.
While we work out the next steps, we’re releasing The Patreon Tapes — a special run of 5 episodes that will never be available for free anywhere else.
These episodes are our way of keeping the pod alive while we rebuild — and they’re only available to our supporters on Patreon.
This week’s episode is Patreon-only.
Our contract with Wondery has ended, which means the ad-supported free feed is on pause — so for now, The Patreon Tapes episodes will never be available here. They’re exclusively for the amazing people who back us on Patreon.
👉 To hear the full show (and the next ones), join us at patreon.com/distantpod.
We’re even offering 25% off your first subscription with the code ACD83.
