NEWS: Patreon Is Live - Giving you more history, more science and more mind bending facts about naked chimpanzees (us)

The moment that the world has been waiting for has arrived? No, I have not solved nuclear fusion. I have not created world peace in fact, I haven't even made your clothes fold by themselves. However, the shockwaves of what I'm about to announce will reverberate across the universe.

Children around the world will be cheering in the streets. Farmers toiling. The soil of their land will have tears in their eyes and generations to come will smile when they remember this momentous moment.

On this day,

Monday, the 17th of November, 2025 of the common era

I, Samuel Webster Harris. I'm Whoa, whoa. Okay. Um, wrong script there. Sorry about that. Um, that's embarrassing. Yes. What are I announcing? . Okay. Um, I am launching a Patreon. Woo-hoo.

Hey. Hello?

Um, Sorry. It is a few weeks late

but for the price of a cup of coffee a month, which is the standard unit that people go with,

you can support me on the journey and

I'd love to show you a bit behind the scenes if you want to become a member

right onto the serious questions.

[00:01:24] What do you get?

what do you get for sending your hard earned money? To me, a freeloading, independent podcaster without a job.

Well, as every episode takes me two to five weeks to research, write, rewrite several times, and then record, edit, et cetera, et cetera. well, you might feel a warm, fuzzy feeling as you contribute to this very difficult task that I have set myself.

Is that not enough for you, you say,

What else might I give you besides warm, fuzzy feelings? Well, from the

books, interviews, journals, and strange pages of the internet that I read for each episode.

, There's a lot of notes and silly bits of research that go completely unused

Questions like, did marry Antoinette really say let them

eat

Cake? Turns out to be completely fake news.

And if you want the full details about that story, I'll explain it in the membership. . Anyway, every single history episode will have an accompanying bonus, extra content episode and what's more members can ask me questions about each episode or whatever big questions they have on their mind, and I will provide answers

sounds pretty good, doesn't it? Hey,

[00:02:33] What you DON'T get

I do have to be upfront with you though around my promises here

So to be very clear, premium membership will not guarantee you world changing abilities.

Sadly, you might not become the next Einstein or Elon Musk, and it's possible that you will not bounce beyond Beyonce into the leagues of public success and fame.

However, you will build a slightly deeper understanding of this little planet that we're floating on, the human species, and of course, innovation.

[00:03:02] Analogy about DVD's - remember those..?

I would think of this premium feed like this. When you used to buy DVDs back in the days when people had DVDs, , you of course got the actual movie which has thousands of hours worth of work going into producing it. And it's a whole complete thing that exists as a complete package.

This I feel is like this main podcast here. It is free forever and a complete work of art that I have no intention of cutting bits out of and hiding behind paywalls.

But when you used to buy A DVD, you might have received some extra scenes, not in the movie or interviews with the actors and writers on set, , maybe some other content going deeper into the story. those little extras are of course fantastic if you love the movie and want to geek out a bit more.

So essentially the premium membership is just extra fun stuff if you are into the main show.

[00:03:54] Episodes will be interviews[00:03:54] Join the club

So with that, if you're interested, you can support me on Patreon by clicking the link in the description and going to patreon.com/change the world pod or searching for how to change the world on Patreon. And when you're there, you'll be able to ask me questions, engage in extra content and posts, and access private episodes , in whatever podcast player you use.

. If you don't have any money and you can't afford it, , but really want to join behind the scenes and listen to the extra ideas, then you can send me a message at change the world dot com.

I'm pretty friendly and won't bite and totally understand if you don't want an extra monthly subscription. But if you can afford it a small monthly contribution of support does go a long way in supporting the show and keeping it going.

As Warren Buffet said, price is what you pay. Value is what you get. And with that, I hope to see you on the other side.
