More stuff for Patrons in 2019!

Hello friends!

Ohhhhh geez do I have some big news. Thanks to your generous support, I’ve been able to bring you tons of LGBTQ videos, podcasts, and livestreams in 2018 -- now get ready for even more in 2019!

What’s Changing

Starting on January 1, there will be new rewards for every backer tier.

$1/month Patrons

There’s more folks pledging at the $1 per month tier than any other, and it’s the backbone of this Patreon! Everyone who pledges at this level ensures a sturdy foundation, and you’ve always had my undying gratitude. But now you’ll also get ad-free early access to my YouTube videos! Whenever I release a new video, I’ll send you a message a few days in advance, letting you watch before anyone else without any ads. I’ll also put your name on a special thank-you wall at mattbaume.com to recognize your contribution!

$4/month Patrons

You’ll get all the benefits of the $1 per month level, plus access to a brand new Patreon-only podcast! Available exclusively to folks at $4 per month and up, it’ll feature fun friendly conversations with me and my partner James about the entertainment that we’re obsessed with and that listeners recommend we check out. It’s a fun casual kick-back time, and you’re invited to join us for an affectionate podcasty chat about our favorite cultural comforts. Watch for episodes of Cozy Pants to launch on Patreon starting in January. 

$7/month Patrons

Not only do you get all of the benefits listed above, you also get an mp3 audio version of my book Defining Marriage! Read by me, the book chronicles the personal stories of people who fought for the freedom to marry over the course of forty years. And that’s on top of the new podcast, early ad-free access to videos, and your name on the thank-you wall.

$12/month Patrons

Starting at the $12/month level, you’ll get a care package in the mail with stickers, a postcard, a bookmark, and a temporary tattoo. Make sure you’ve supplied your address so I can send them! Those materials are being printed right now, and should be ready by the end of January. As always, I’ll thank patrons at this level and up in a YouTube video, and of course you’ll also get all the benefits listed above!

$20/month Patrons

At the $20 per month level, you’ll get all of the above -- plus a signed paperback copy of my book, Defining Marriage! I’ll include a little personal message to you (or let me know if you want me to sign it to someone else) and you’ll also get some cute one-inch Sewers of Paris buttons, the most fashionable accessory of the season. That’s on top of the care package, audiobook, a personal shoutout in a video, the podcast, early access to videos, and your name on the thank-you wall.

$50/month Patrons

At the new $50 per month tier, you get all of the above and you can sponsor one episode of The Sewers of Paris! I’ll read your name and a message of up to 100 words at the start of an episode (subject to approval). And of course all the other benefits -- the paperback copy of my book, the care package, the audiobook, the personal shoutout, the podcast, early access, and your name on the thank-you wall.

As we begin 2019, there are triple (triple!) the number of folks supporting the Patreon as there were at the start of 2018. I’m so honored to have so many of folks supporting my work, and I can’t wait to bring you even more in the new year.

Croissant!

Matt
