It's The Second Ever Moonshot Patreon Drive!
Happy April, Moonfools!
The Moonshot Podcast Network is hosting our second Patreon Drive, running from April 1-30. We’re slowly renovating the Moon Base into a novelty beach resort for an upcoming special event (wink, wink), so put on a tropical space suit and join us as we gear up for summer!
Our goal with the Patreon drive is to increase monetary support from listeners, which helps us maintain our whole catalog of shows, from long-running classics like ARGonauts to limited run and seasonal shows like We See Saw. Moonshot pays for hosting for all network shows, and offers financial assistance with recording equipment, podcast art, royalty-free music and sound effects, and other needs. Funding can also benefit our charity livestream events, which cumulatively raised over $10,000 last year to benefit Trans Lifeline and Corewell Health Children’s Hospital.
Put simply, more funding helps us upkeep equipment and keep producing shows and streams you love, bigger and better all the time.
Over the course of April, our Patreon will host a variety of bonus shows for listeners looking for an extra reason to join up. For $1, new patrons can get exclusive or early access to podcast episodes, including:
Two episodes of “Once-Missed Wonders”, the Patreon-exclusive movie podcast where Moonshot hosts get around to classic films they’d never seen
A special Interstitial 2e tabletop one-shot set in the universe of Moonshot produced actual play “Interstitial: Infinity”
Other exclusive actual plays including In This World, Dialect, and even MORE
A new episode of “Bath and Butler Works”, a Patreon-exclusive show where host Juliet wakes co-host Riley Hopkins up early in the morning to discuss philosophy and literary theory
The fun doesn’t end once the drive draws to a close. Moonshot patrons can expect regular content by donation level, including:
$1 per month: Early episodes of Pokemon tournament bracket podcast “Champs in the Making” as well as Patreon-exclusive shows including “Once-Missed Wonders” and “Office Hours”, an unstructured talk show featuring various network hosts
$3 per month: Early episode drops of tabletop actual play podcast “Riley Hopkins & their Amazing Friends”
$5 per month: Access to the Moonshot Minecraft server (come join our village built around a huge, ominous tower)
We’re once again hoping to gather 30 new or upgrading Patreon supporters by the end of the drive, for a total of 134 patrons overall. By becoming one of those Patrons, you can get your name printed on our Patron of the Day calendar, which runs throughout the month on Moonshot’s social media accounts! Also, if our monthly funds reach $500/mo, network hosts will commit to recording a special “Once-Missed Wonders” miniseries dedicated to watching every Fast and the Furious movie. Yes, including the spinoffs.
The Moonshot Patreon Drive started on April 1st, and will run for the entire month of April. The Moonshot Podcast Network can be found online at https://moonshotpods.com/ and on Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/moonshotnetwork.

Show Spotlight: Unnatural Selection
Unnatural Selection is a monthly podcast about film adaptations of books, the weird choices Hollywood makes, and what actually constitutes a “good” adaptation. Each episode is hosted by Emma Shannon and a rotating cast of special guests.
This month, Emma and Jacqueline (of Unwise Girls and Dead Teen House Party fame) stepped into Area X for a deep look at Jeff Vandermeer's Annihilation, and its 2018 film adaptation. Listen along as they dive into the creative use of repurposed visuals, the differences between a biologist and Natalie Portman, and overlooking scientific curiosity in favor of the military.
That's all the moon news that's fit to print this month! See you next month for...well, if you've been here for a while, you know what we do in May. Stay tuned! B)
