54. The Genius of Phantom Planet w/ Steve King

In this episode I'm joined by my good friend Steve King and what begins as a bit of a moan-fest about how hard it is to advertise comedy shows in this day and age turns into quite an insightful chat when Steve brings up the way the band Phantom Planet (remember The OC's theme?) use their patreon page to engage with their community. This part of the chat blew my mind and immediately changed how I saw the platform of patreon. It's a great listen if you're a fellow struggling creative, and I hope a good listen if you're just a podcast fan!Find Steve online @humblekingdom on Instagram, and once he makes his patreon I'll post it here too.Steve's show Aloha Infinity in the Dunedin & Nelson FringeYou can visit MY patreon here too!My show Panic!
