Beyond the Microphone - Patreon Sneak Peek

We mention our Patreon at the end of every episode, but we never tell you about our weekly bonus episodes. The bonus episodes usually run about 30 minutes and are recorded the same day we post them, so they’re less edited and a lot more current than a standard episode. This week we talked about the recent passing of Hugh Keays-Byrne, so Julia thought it a good idea to give our regular listeners a taste of what we do outside of the normal feed.
