Ep 199 Introducing Our Subscription Service for Listeners - IA Patreon | Sarah Graham & Mischell Christmas

Episode 199 hosts Sarah Graham (Registered Nurse based in Kaiapoi, New Zealand) & Mischell Christmas (Registered Nurse based in Charlotte, USA) In this episode we do something a bit different by inviting on two of our long-term listeners. We explore where they are into their injecting careers, why they joined our 'IA Patreon' and how they have benefited from it. If you've never heard of Patreon, it's an online service that allows creators like us to connect with their listeners and provide bonus content. This is done via a tiered subscription model, with each tier accessing more benefits.   We started IA Patreon around 6 months ago and at the time of writing we now have 132 injectors subscribing from all corners of the globe (a subscriber to Patreon is called a Patron). The purpose of our IA Patreon is very simple - it provides support, education and a community for injectors anywhere.
