Hey, everyone! We have two pieces of news to share with all of you. First, after 10+ years and 400+ episodes, we’re going to have new podcast art work moving forward. It’s an idea we’ve been kicking around for a while and we finally decided to pull the trigger on it. Here’s the new design we’ll be using from now on…
The second piece of news is that we’ve signed on to be a part of Airwave Media. Airwave is a podcast network that’s home to other great history podcasts like The Age of Napoleon and History of the Second World War. We’re excited about partnering with Airwave. It’ll not only allow us to grow the show’s audience but also will give us the opportunity to tap into some of the ad money swirling around podcasts these days. That’ll mean a bit of extra income for us each month, but there will be a few ads included with each episode. It shouldn’t be at all intrusive… but nevertheless we will let you know that folks who are part of the Strawfoot Brigade (over on patreon) will still get all regular & members episodes ad-free as part of their membership.
