Not because of the pattern perks, really, but because his Speedrun explainers are just so good. They consistently high quality, informative, and you can tell there’s a lot of work that goes into them.
Jon started his own online radio station after years in radio, seeing great music getting no love.
His passion for music is worldclass, and he has decided to share that passion with the world.
This patreon helps to support a commercial free SOCAN licensed broadcast of ad free rock music. This is an amazing resource to connect with what is happening in rock that no one else(or not many) is providing.
All songs are 36 months old or newer.
He is based out of Victoria BC where he was a DJ on 91.3 theZone for 10 years before striking it out on his own.
Apps are available for both iPhone and android WWTR Android
He puts out a lot for free so I feel more than justified to send some money his way - his teaching has been instrumental (heh) for my progress and understanding of music.
I gave Pateron a try awhile back, unless you’re in it to donate to your favorite artist it’s not a very good business model, and because they take such a cut it’s not even that good for donations either. It’s a shame because on paper it sounds like it would be awesome, but what instead ends up happening is that people take content they would have posted for free and paywall it, only to post it a half year later anyway.
Dwarf Fortress and Pukebeard are my two patreons to point at.
I have gotten more hours of enjoyment out of Dwarf Fortress than any other video game… and I think funding small creators helps spur innovation in content. Find some niche creator doing something you love, give them 10/video or whatever their medium is, help them go independent.
Holy hell, DF somehow never dawned on me when I was deciding which patreons I should support a whileback. The amount of fun that game has provided is insane for something free.
Context: I used to work onboard ships, 5 weeks at a time, with really shit internet. And once I’d exhausted all the media I’d downloaded while at home, DF was what kept me entertained for four years.

Liberation Martial Arts for a leftist understanding of martial arts
And half a dozen (mostly NSFW) artists
Might just be a me thing, but this guy puts out a new wallpaper almost every week and they're all amazing. The higher tiers allow you to participate in choosing the next wallpaper, but they're mostly for 1080p, 1440p, and 2160p. Buying in once gets you the whole lot of everything he's done until now.
The site is very reminiscent of early 2010s Cracked. Plus they have three associated podcasts that are fantastic and just so delightfully insane.
Much of the rest of the Cracked greats are doing… great things! Soren Bowie writes for American Dad and Daniel O’Brien is a head writer on Last Week Tonight… and they have a podcast called Quick Question.
Alex Schmidt and Katie Goldin do Secretly Incredibly Fascinating. Cody Johnston and Katy Stoll do Some More News. And then there’s king of the bastards, Robert Evans ;)
It’s such a unique view at parts of society that others would never look at or take the time to even acknowledge. Putting themselves often in extremely sketchy or even illegal situations for the sake of the story. Real gonzo journalism you just don’t normally see these days. Andrew is a modern day Hunter Thompson.
