Good news! Patreon back down on changing fees

As we mentioned in yesterday's episode (Mythos as Religion, part 2), Patreon recently announced a change to their fee structure, and one that would negatively impact all you lovely backers.
Well, good news! They've listened to the people and reconsidered!
At least I got to have a long and in depth chat with Javeed (a Paypal representative) last Friday about setting up alternative payment methods. I'm not sure I made a lifelong friend, but he was very helpful.
So anyway, it's back to business as usual. And as a little taster of things to come, I have Scott scheduled to come around on Friday to record a couple more Weird Whisperings. Long overdue I know...
Anyway, good news. Phew.

This is good news, it would be nice if Patreon let's backers know soon. If this kind of thing happens again could we have the Good Friends sing to Patreon? That ought to put paid to any daft ideas... right?
