Here's a mid-December update from Heather with some important CraftLit news. We're officially moving CraftLit off Patreon and onto Supercast, and while the transition took a lot of work, the result is a much easier and better experience for listeners. In this update, I cover: • 00:00 Why CraftLit is leaving Patreon and why there's no Moby Dick this week • 01:10 How easy the move to Supercast is (no extra charges, no double payments): *helper videos for the process listed below* • 1:20 Where to find *Christmas playlists* across platforms: all on Supercast, CraftLit.com/christmas has BOTH CraftLit.com and Libsyn playlists. • 2:30 What *Patreon Patrons* need to do: craftlit.supercast.com/patreons (check your email from craftlit/patreon) • 4:03 Help for *app orphans* who lost access to premium audio: craftlit.com/app-orphan/ • 05:49 *Discounts ONLY available through the end of December 2025*: craftlit.com/supercast/ • 07:35 How *gift subscriptions* work on Supercast: craftlit.supercast.com/gifts/new • A quick programming update (Brain Broke—no Moby-Dick this week) • 08:59 Upcoming holiday audio and a new spooky Christmas story over at @chillingtalesfordarknights ("The Portal"—NOT goofy—coming soon, written by Mr Chilling Tales himself.
