Welcome to the Spon Chunks, episode number 32, recorded Monday, November 4th, 2024.

This is a podcast all about Minecraft, available across all of your favorite podcasting

platforms, including the video version on YouTube. If you're enjoying the show,

please consider subscribing wherever you're listening to this. My name is Joel Duggan, and joining me, as always,

is my friend Johnny, better known as PixelRiffs, on the interwebs. Hello, sir. Hello, and if you're

interested in hearing what I've been up to this weekend, went to a costume party. There are

pictures for our patrons in the Discord, but since we don't do the

Patreon pre-show in video form, you're going to have to maybe sign up and take a look at that.

We also talked a lot about what it takes to put together a costume for something a bit more

professional, convention appearances and stuff like that. We talked about a few more of our

nerdy interests, my getting into tabletop,

and a mutual love of the way Jonathan Frakes comes across in interviews. If you're interested in all of that,

that's patreon.com slash the spawn shunks. That's where you can sign up to support the show,

and our patrons get access to a Discord, along with a calendar of events that run all year round.

We have our next monthly Minecraft hangout coming

up probably November 30th this month. It's usually the last Saturday of each month. And our

quarterly hangouts where we go into the behind the scenes, facts and figures of the podcast,

the next one is likely going to be early in 2025. While we're here, I'll also point our

existing patrons and anybody who's interested in signing up to episode 315.5, which we did an exclusive Patreon hangout that's going to be on the Patreon RSS feed that points you to some changes coming to the new Apple Patreon app.

And if you're thinking about signing up, note that you won't be able to sign up to support us through the Patreon app. We recommend going through the browser version of Patreon until we get that figured out because Patreon is making some changes to fall in line with regulations on the app store. And now effective November 24, they will be suspending signups for anybody who rolls out

subscriptions on a per piece of content basis, which is what we currently do. We're looking

to change that in early 2025. So hopefully normal service should resume after that, but stay
