How to access ad-free episodes and bonus episodes
Added 2024-07-30 19:32:28 +0000 UTCWeird Scout and higher members can access their ad-free episodes and bonus episodes through any podcast app (except Spotify) using this link: https://open.acast.com/public/patreon/fanSubscribe/1766401
Support for Spotify may happen later, but the way the app works makes it complicated.
If you have any problems accessing your feed, please message us and we will be glad to help.
edit: Thanks to Atron in the comments for this concise instructions on how to use the link: Click the url, allow Acast to link to your patreon account, copy the RSS link from the site and use it in your podcast app to connect to the new feed.

Hi there, those are our "intros" to tell everyone about what is going on / new with Night Vale. We keep these on for the most recent 6 episodes and remove them later.
Welcome to Night Vale
2025-02-05 22:30:05 +0000 UTCHello, I'm on the weird scout level and have been enjoying the ad free episodes. But it seems from 185 onwards it's started to get ads at the start again? I primarily use podcast addict but tried the others also, is there a way to rectify this?

2024-11-27 01:10:51 +0000 UTCLooks like it is an issue with Acast and we are reaching out to them to resolve it.
Welcome to Night Vale
2024-11-26 18:28:02 +0000 UTCWe post the episode artwork (now combined with the Director's Notes) on Patreon every time a new episode is published and will look into whether we can update the image for the ad-free feed.
Welcome to Night Vale
2024-11-19 19:53:13 +0000 UTCIs there a way to see per episode artwork on the ad-free feed? In Apple Podcasts it’s just coming up with the regular WTNV art on all episodes, but if I view the regular (ad-heavy) feed, I see each episode has the correct individual Jessica Hayworth art for each episode.

2024-11-18 22:45:08 +0000 UTCHi Bernice, if the above instructions aren't allowing you access to episode 256 then please try the below. If that doesn't work then please reach out to patreonsupport@acast.com and they will be able to assist you. If you are currently subscribed to a Patreon RSS feed for your creator’s show, unsubscribe from that feed in your podcast app. Click the link to access your unique feed from your pledge confirmation page, in your confirmation email or in the My membership tab of the creator you’re pledging to. You may be prompted to sign in with your Patreon login and to authorize Acast. You'll then be presented with the option to select your preferred podcast player or to copy your private RSS feed.

2024-10-16 15:49:30 +0000 UTCHi - youtube has blocked downloading again, so cannot get the file there (I listen on an ipod so RSS feeds are no good). So I'm another person who'd vote for a return to how you did things originally, so we can download and listen when we cannot access rss feeds. Also, I can see ep 256 on youtube, but not on patreon - what am I doing wrong?

2024-10-15 09:17:53 +0000 UTCthere are a number of free podcast apps available. I recommend Podcast Addict if you are not on an iphone device
Welcome to Night Vale
2024-09-17 16:43:38 +0000 UTCI guess I have no chose but to go back to the ad filled episodes since the only podcast app I had access to was google podcast and they got rid of it. I don't get why the ad free ones were never added to the youtube page under a membership paywall.

2024-09-17 16:10:02 +0000 UTCno, any rss feed based thing will require something to read that rss feed. I guess in theory you could get a text based rss reader and then download from there
Welcome to Night Vale
2024-09-09 17:42:20 +0000 UTCAny way to listen that doesn't require a podcast app?

2024-08-29 17:32:36 +0000 UTCBeen a fan for a few years now but just now Starting to listen to each episode from episode 1 so may take awhile!🤣 amazing to see how far the Audio quality and Cecil’s acting skills have improved over the year

Welcome to Night Vale
2024-08-05 18:02:32 +0000 UTCFigured it out. For anyone else that is struggling: Click the url, allow Acast to link to your patreon account, copy the RSS link from the site and use it in your podcast app to connect to the new feed. HAPPINESS!

2024-08-01 17:39:28 +0000 UTCHi Astrid, it works on our end and all the feedback (other than yours) has noted it is now working for everyone who was having issues. Just in case you haven't tried this yet, trying logging out and logging back in. If you still have an issue, I would recommend submitting a help ticket to Podcast Addict and see if it's an issue on their end.
Welcome to Night Vale
2024-08-01 17:28:57 +0000 UTCMy Podcast Addict feed had been throwing an error and wouldn't load any episodes. Using this new RSS link, it's successfully validated in-app, but now *only* shows the two new episodes (Detours and the Hey There Cecil bonus) but no backlog :( Btw, thank you Joseph for the Podcast Addict recommendation, I've been loving the app for all my podcasts 💜

2024-08-01 12:18:38 +0000 UTCMine had broken, but going through that link to get a new RSS address worked, thanks!

2024-07-31 00:25:03 +0000 UTCNo, it's the same link as before. If you're not having problems, no change needed
Welcome to Night Vale
2024-07-30 21:00:56 +0000 UTCIf we are not having issues with accessing them currently, should we subscribe to this new link?
