Ostium Patreon Update
Patreon recently announced it’s changing its business model by having its creators pay the finance charges each time they get a donation, and having each and every one of its patrons pay for each and every one of their donation’s finance charges. The changes are expected to take effect December 18th.
There are a lot of us content creators and supporters who are very unhappy about this. If Patreon carries out these changes on the 18th, I will be closing the Ostium Patreon account permanently, and I thank all those have have supported Ostium.
I am currently researching alternate means to support this podcast that you and I love, and am leaning towards using our “Donate” option on our support page on the Ostium website. For your monthly support you will continue to receive or get access to bonus material such as exclusive mini episodes and much more. I am exploring how best to make this bonus content available to you, whether it be via emailing or granting access to a specific page. If I do go with this option, the support will be revamped with a breakdown of various support levels and supporters will have a much cooler name than “Patreon Patrons.”
If you have any thoughts, suggestions, feedback, or just wish to vent about this, please don’t hesitate to shoot me an email at ostiumpodcast@gmail.com.
Ostium Mini Episode: Season One Outtakes
You don’t always get it right on the first take. And sometimes you don’t get it right on the second, third, or fourth. Sometimes you say completely the wrong line, or something else that just makes no sense . . . but it’s funny. And sometimes you start having conversations about what you’re saying, which is also funny.
Fortunately, things are digital now and we don’t have to worry about how many reels of tape we’re using. So lots more gets recorded. Most of it doesn’t end up in the final cut. A lot of it is funny.
Here are the choicest outtakes for Ostium Season One.
Ostium now has a merchandise store, for all your holiday gift giving needs, check it out.

What are “The Ostium Files”?
For anyone who might’ve missed it, here was the recent announcement and info on a new mini episode series called “The Ostium Files” on our Patreon.
You can subscribe now for as little as $2.
Coming to the Ostium patrons during Season 2, in addition to more Enigmatic Mysteries of the Unknown, is . . . The Ostium Files!
When you became a Patreon patron, and showed your undying devotion to a very special podcast called Ostium, you were assigned a unique door number.
If you were to pass through your specific door, what would you find behind it? Where would you be?
More importantly, when would you be?
The Ostium Files answers this. In each installment of the Ostium Files, we’ll take a look behind one of these doors and see a piece of history, or perhaps a chapter of the future? A special event that was fundamental in the creation of our universe perhaps? Or our world? What about some of those important, pivotal moments in history? Wouldn’t it have been amazing to witness it, to somehow experience it . . .
Welcome to . . . The Ostium Files.

Ostium @ Podcon
If you missed the first big Ostium-related announcement this week, you can read all about it here.
In other big news, Ostium will have a presence at Podcon, the biggest podcast convention ever, taking place in Seattle on December 9 and 10. Our very own Georgia Mackenzie, the voice of Monica, will be there checking out other podcasts and, more importantly, spreading the word about Ostium.
She will also have a whole bunch of Ostium swag with her: a bunch of stickers, bumper stickers, and a couple of T-shirts to give away to Ostium fans. If you’d like to arrange a meet up to say hi and get a sticker, shoot us an email at ostiumpodcast@gmail.com.
Georgia will also have with her THREE copies of the new Ostium book, which she’ll be giving away to three lucky people. But you need to know the secret password to tell Georgia to get a chance to win one of these copies. Listen to the very end of this week’s coming mini episode, available November 19th, for the secret password. It’ll also be at the end of the mini episode available December 3rd.
Simply find Georgia at Podcon and give her the password and if she still has a copy, it’s yours! Again, you can email us to arrange a clandestine meet up.
See you at this year’s premier podcast convention!
