[@peternisbet-pn3qq]

I have only began this week watching your show. I must say it’s a great thing you are doing. The respect you show for the traditional owners of this great land is admirable and thats how it should be . More people should understand the facts of what happened to these beautiful people at the hands of early settlers. Everything about this show it amazing, the land the people the fishing and hunting. Well done. You have a good soul. 🙏

[@samdavis456]

These videos for the world for free. Behind the scenes / more unedited / less produced videos over on the patreon site. I follow a few patreons but they are all podcasts - what they do is have a free weekly show on Spotify or KZbin (like you do) however, their patreons are very different to yours so my input here might come from left of field. But they just film extra content and release a short patreon-only episode on the patreon website every now and then. Also, their tiers are very different - most of the low tiers are $3-5. One of them based in Australia has a $1 tier - and has thousands of subscribers to the $1 tier. So the wider access does add up $$$ You offer so much more on your patreon compared to other creators though - meet ups, giveaways, zoom calls, the whole lot !! So your tier levels are absolutely appropriate. It is just an idea, that having a very low priced tier level - which doesn’t include giveaways etc - just some extra footage - could open your channel up to many many more patreon subscribers ☺️
