Did you know that the Gardeners of the Galaxy podcast has a Patreon? It’s one of the main ways that my rocket boosters can support the show financially, and give me more time to work on it.
My Patreon supporters get sneak peeks of what’s going on behind-the-scenes, early access to most shows and exclusive Patron-only episodes and content.
At the moment, there are xx bonus episodes.
I’d really like to spend more time producing episodes and bonus content, but for the moment I have to focus on paying the bills!
So if you’d like to hear more, please consider chipping in via Patreon, or signing up for the paid version of the Gardeners of the Galaxy Mission Report newsletter.
Thank you!
