So a lot of you know that I have a Patreon. If you didn't, uh... you do now? I originally launched it for my comics, but it kind of transitioned to being mostly focused on my Witchcraft podcast years ago -- because that's where I had extra content I could give folks -- but it's overall just for "me" in general.
Anyways.
My goal for the last year has been to increase the "value" for Patreon patrons, with all paid tiers getting access to a copy of Super Awesome Action Heroes, and the five dollar and ten dollar tiers getting access to my novels (at different times -- the five dollar tier patrons get them on a year delay).
For a while I had been doing Patreon exclusive "vlogs," but those didn't last just because I literally ran out of things to say in them. I mean, I'm boring. The only eventful stuff in my life is the eventful stuff happening to all of us right now. Back in April, I think I came up with something fun that I've now done two months in a row.
And that's record reaction videos to episodes of The Pagan Invasion.
You see, for the April episode of BS-Free Witchcraft I did an episode on the structure of Satanic Panic propaganda, and used the first episode of 1991's The Pagan Invasion as the example to illustrate my points. For that episode I needed to, obviously, rewatch that first episode for research.
Rather than just watch it in private though, I recorded my rewatch as a commentary and reaction video and posted it as a Patreon exclusive video. And even though the podcast has moved on from the topic, folks asked me to react to episode two... so I did that last week. I fully intend to review the whole series on my Patreon now, and each one of my videos ends up being like two hours long. I don't know if I'll get a chance to do one every month, but I plan to get through the whole series.
Honestly I'm not sure why I didn't think of doing something like this before.
So yeah, we're doing fun stuff there. Oh, also, before I forget to say something -- July is the annual Q&A episode of BS-Free Witchcraft, and I need listener questions. If you have something you want me to respond to on the show, just send it in via the show's contact form by July 11th 2025.

Heh, so this is a case where Terrence will see a dude asleep in the video room and attempt to wake him up rather rudely just to show his power.
When Terrence comes to, we find out that the dude was active special forces and was only in the room to keep his GF company while she finishes her video room shift.
Ran a con near several military bases, So it was drilled in to all staffers that if you see anyone asleep in con space, to get the head of security. The above is a true story of one of our enthusiastic security grunts who thought he was the Terrence.
I got 20 bucks on assaults a homeless m as n and 10 on gets himself shot and blames ruthl
ooh this is going to go so well…Can’t wait to see how Ruth has to handle dealing with dudebro’s sorry butt when he goes to harrass some attendee/or staffer off shift to “control the chaos” that doesn’t exist at 4am because everyone is either asleep, or in the drunk tank having a blast being drunk.
Why am I thinking of the Coneheads right now?
I’m sorta thinking Ruth/security starts getting calls about some weirdo harassing guests…
Oh joy, loose cannon alert…
