00:00:00.000 hello i'm adrian dob and i'm moira donnegan and whether we like it or not we're on patreon
00:00:19.700 so adrian this is kind of a new project for us we decided to
00:00:25.220 launch the Patreon for In Bed With The Right and give some of our listeners a little bit of more
00:00:31.680 exclusive content and see where we can take this thing. Exactly. So you might wonder, wait,
00:00:39.240 for 40 episodes, you didn't need to do this. Why now? Let me maybe back up a little and explain
00:00:45.300 how In Bed With The Right is actually put together. So I'm the director of the Clayman Institute at
00:00:50.360 Stanford and you, Maura, are the writer in residence, right? Our episodes are edited by
00:00:55.400 an amazing duo of producers, depending on basically who's available. It's Katie Lau and
00:00:59.800 Mark Yoshizumi. We love Katie and Mark. Shout out to those guys. We love Katie and Mark.
00:01:05.000 And, you know, they need to be paid for their work. And, you know, it was sort of a side project
00:01:10.600 for both of us. And we've loved making it and we want to do more with it. But, you know, I won't be
00:01:15.820 the director of the Clayman Institute forever. And you won't be, unfortunately, the writer in
00:01:20.000 residents forever but we do want to keep doing this so now as we like sort of look to the future
00:01:25.980 this like very uh perilous uncertain future that's definitely going to have a lot of uh
00:01:31.500 conservative gender regimes operating within it uh we're hoping that we can get a certain subgroup
00:01:37.720 of our listeners and there's kind of a surprising number of you out there it always like shocks me
00:01:42.840 yeah thank you uh we're hoping we can get some of you to subscribe for extra content which will
00:01:49.480 enable us to keep doing this thing yeah the idea is basically that the patreon episodes will
00:01:54.220 eventually pay for the main feed basically meaning research production editing and distribution
00:01:59.540 turns out that costs money too unfortunately um and we don't think it'll be too difficult the show
00:02:03.860 is not super expensive to make it's just we got to figure out a way to break even so which is also
00:02:08.840 i think a way of saying that if you don't have the money right now or you want to dedicate it
00:02:12.320 somewhere else please don't worry like i don't i really don't think the show is going anywhere but
00:02:16.520 If you do like the show and you want to support us, you know, here's your chance.
00:02:20.200 Yeah.
00:02:20.440 If you've got some, you know, change, bring a hole in your pocket and you like what we do, this is one way to pitch in and help us keep doing it.
00:02:28.120 So maybe we'll say a little bit about what the Patreon actually looks like.
00:02:31.760 We're going to do two episodes per month.
00:02:34.400 We're pretty sure we can stick to that.
00:02:35.980 We've got a bunch in the can already.
00:02:37.500 We're also starting a Discord, which I'm learning about sort of in real time.
00:02:43.580 But everyone says it's a good thing to do.
00:02:45.340 And it's exciting in some way, because I don't know if you've noticed this, but like part of, I think why we're often surprised by how well the show is doing is because we've actually not given people any way to get in touch with us. A lot of people. So there's a central email for the Klayman Institute and people have emailed that and we get it forwarded to us. I think this is for the podcast and people are reacting to our episode to our very confused, wonderful administrative staff who are like, this is cool, but like, I'm not the person to read this. And they'll forward it to us.
00:03:14.760 this like mighty but small gender studies think tank at stanford right like they're just some
00:03:20.840 the person doing admin for that institute is getting the feedback for our episodes and you
00:03:25.880 know what they don't need that but also we want to hear what you guys have to say you know we want
00:03:30.800 to get in touch with this community of listeners who are out there and who are thinking about this
00:03:36.840 stuff along with us so i'm really excited to have the discord just to like get to talk to people
00:03:41.680 and hear a little bit more of the thoughts of our listeners.
00:03:44.440 And the other part of it, of course,
00:03:45.520 is that due to the ongoing and shittification of Twitter,
00:03:48.060 we're probably not going to stay on X for that much longer.
00:03:52.240 I mean, it's just not very useful anymore, right?
00:03:54.400 If you actually want to talk to us,
00:03:55.620 if you actually want to find stuff that's interesting and useful
00:03:58.140 for folks doing this kind of work,
00:04:00.700 that platform that we were both relying on kind of a bit,
00:04:03.660 it's just not really the place.
00:04:04.680 And maybe this could be the place.
00:04:07.500 Yeah.
00:04:08.140 And then I should also mention the final part of this
00:04:10.340 is that there will be swag,
00:04:11.720 but we're still learning how to do that.
00:04:13.780 We're going to have such good swag, though.
00:04:15.320 It's going to be funny.
00:04:16.180 I think so.
00:04:16.880 It's going to be cute.
00:04:17.900 It's going to be iconic.
00:04:19.620 And you're all going to get a chance to grab it first
00:04:23.060 if you're one of our loyal Patreon subscribers.
00:04:26.220 Yeah.
00:04:26.720 So I think we'll leave it at that.
00:04:29.080 Don't want to take up too much of your time.
00:04:30.500 And again, if you enjoy the podcast,
00:04:32.800 but not enough to want to invest $5, totally fine.
00:04:36.500 We're not planning to reduce our clip of regular episodes at all.
00:04:41.940 So basically nothing will change.
00:04:43.400 It's just that there's another parallel universe where weirder, more experimental episodes
00:04:48.460 are dropping twice a month and where people are having, you know, conversations on Discord.
00:04:55.160 But really for casual listeners, nothing will change.
00:04:57.740 I do think that like one upside of the Patreon content is that this is really where we get
00:05:02.320 to let our freak flags fly.
00:05:04.020 This is me and Adrian nerding out, being maximally enthusiastic, maximally activated, I should say.
00:05:13.860 Messy. We're going to be messy.
00:05:15.100 We're going to be messy. We're going to gossip. We're going to say fuck a lot.
00:05:18.760 I think we actually do first on the main feed, but you know what I mean? 0.99
00:05:21.740 This is going to be like in bed with a right after dark a little bit.
00:05:25.400 Yeah. Oh my gosh.
00:05:27.620 And if you want to get the juicier content, this is where it's going to be.
00:05:32.900 there's gonna be things that only patreon subscribers will know
00:05:35.120 all right well uh so we hope you'll subscribe and follow us along on this weird wacky 0.93
00:05:42.020 unsettling journey we're taking into the right-wing gender world yeah as we're all getting 0.99
00:05:47.420 whether we like it or not in fucking bed with the right 0.99
