Some of you joining us on locals may be current or former supporters on Patreon.
For clarity, we will continue to post on Patreon. Patreon has its own reward levels, including me answering your questions, the music downloads, etc. Patreon charges you per video we publish (16-18 per month)
Locals is a totally different structure. It only has two levels: Subscriber and Premium Subscriber. All paying subscribers can directly interact with each other, and post content. You can watch all our episodes ad-free. Premium Subscribers can DM me directly. Locals charges you a fixed amount per month. You can subscribe at the $8 level, or any amount above that. (And yes, we'd love that.)
We plan to continue to post here on Locals and also on Patreon.

China has quietly launched its invasion of the US. But it's not flashy. It starts in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, or CNMI for short, which is just to the north of Guam. And in particular, Saipan, where a major World War 2 battle was fought.
