Season 6, Episode 14 – Technical Issues

Mike

Hi Everyone.
My apologies for the delay with the final episode of Season 6. It’s finished and ready to go, but I’m having some technical problems with my podcast host. There are a number of things I have to do between uploading it (done) and releasing it (not done), and I can’t because the usual controls I use to do these things have disappeared.

I’ve been in touch with customer services, so hopefully things will be sorted out soon.

Thanks for your patience.

U and F Season 6 Episode 11

Mike

Hey there! Sorry I’ve been neglectful of my website for a while. That business I mentioned in the previous post about Spotify is all sorted out now (as you probably know). It was down to copyright issues with the Amad Amma theme tune. Long story short: It had to go, and so it has.

I know, it’s a pity, but the internet isn’t run by humans anymore; it’s not like I can say to Spotify’s Help agent – as I did – that I have the rights to use the track, and then the agent pushes a button and Spotify stops red-flagging my podcasts every time I upload one. They can’t do that, at least not for a small fry like me. I’d have to go through the same red-flagging cr*p every time I posted an episode. So Amad Amma had to go. But hey, don’t worry, when the U&F TV series gets made, the record company will beg me to use the track and then everything’ll be peachy again … but don’t hold your breath waiting for that to happen 😄

But wait! What was that you said about a U&F TV show? you cry. I thought the whole TV show dream was dead. Well, yes, it was, but I’m going to have a second crack at it. Listen to Season 6 Episode 11 for details.

This latest podcast is a double episode in that it includes two of the original Patreon episodes of Underwood and Flinch: Underground. Huzzah!

It also includes the news that Patreon has recently updated how billing works for new members. Under the previous system, if you signed up near the end of the month — for example on the 27th — you’d get charged again just a few days later on the 1st of the next month. (Which is why I always had to advise you to wait till the start of the month before signing up as a supporter).

But now, Patreon uses a true subscription model — just like Netflix or Spotify. When you sign up, you’re charged that day, and then you’re charged again exactly one month later, and so on. So you always get a full month of access, no matter when you join.

Why, you could join up right now, and today would be your monthly billing day going forward. There’s no need wait to till the start of next month, you can just jump right in and start gobbling down the remainder of Season 6, Season 7, and the first 20 episodes of Season 8. Just be sure and sign up at the $3 level: U&F Listener or higher. Here’s a link: Underwood and Flinch at Patreon Check it out 🧛🏼‍♂️

That’s all for now, chums. Enjoy S6E11, and have a groovy day!

U&F Season 5 E14 – Delayed

Mike

Hi there. U&F Season 5 E14 is delayed. I’m trying to get a Patreon U&F podcast edited and it’s taking longer than expected. I’ll get to S5 E14 tomorrow.
Peace out (as the young folks say … or said … Do people still say that? I live a long way from hip talk 😄).
