Most podcasters use Patreon to help create revenue in addition to their free shows. Joe Budden hopes to change all that with his model. After parting ways with Spotify, Budden is taking his popular podcast to Patreon. The former rapper and popular podcaster is also joining Patreon as Head of Creator Equity.
Budden and Patreon proclaim that the system for creators is broken and they are going to continue to fight for industry-wide change.
Budden fans now must head over to Patreon.com/joebudden to subscribe for exclusive access to premium content including bonus episodes of Budden’s podcast every month The first exclusive episode drops Feb. 8th. Budden’s memberships will run from $5.00 to $25.00 per month.
Budden said, “I’ve seen firsthand that exploitation is everywhere in this industry – it’s become the status quo, and I’m tired of it. I’m tired of constantly fighting for independence and I’m tired of proving my value over and over again. This partnership with Patreon marks a new era for the creative economy: one where independence comes first and creators get paid – something that shouldn’t be revolutionary. Creators should get the biggest stake in their art and the system isn’t ready to do that, so we’re going to change the system. This is the new blueprint and we are the first.”
