Dissect – A Serialized Music Podcast has three exciting announcements!

Announcement #1: Season 2 Premieres August 1st!

We’re very excited to announce that Dissect Season 2 will premiere on Tuesday, August 1st!

You’re probably thinking, “Ok, great, August 1st. But what’s the subject of Season 2?” Well, after much deliberation, I decided that the subject of Season 2 is….

Yeah, sorry, you’re gonna have to wait for the premiere for that.

But if you’re the type of person that doesn’t like surprises, there’s a way you can find out the subject of Season 2 right now. More on that in Announcement #3.

Announcement #2: “The Blacker the Berry – The Book” now on Kickstarter!

Dissect has teamed with artist/Dissect listener Hannah Sellers to create a book called The Blacker the Berry. It’s a visual exploration of Kendrick Lamar’s song “The Blacker the Berry.” Hannah created beautiful graphic collages that accompany my analysis of the song, and it really enhances your experience and understanding of Kendrick’s message. Seriously, this thing is absolutely gorgeous, a true piece of art.

And what’s more, we just launched a Kickstarter! Right now, you can back this project by pre-ordering your very own copy. With your support, we’ll be able to fund our first production run of the book. We’ve also set a stretch goal, and if reached, we’ll donate $1 of every book sold to Social Works, a youth empowerment charity started by Chance the Rapper.

Support this project by visiting our Kickstarter!

Announcement #3: Support Dissect on Patreon

In lieu of advertising on Season 2, we’ve decided instead to create a Patreon account. Patreon is an online platform that allows creators like myself to remain independent and receive support directly from their audience. By pledging as little as $1 a month, you can help Dissect become more sustainable and ad-free.

As you heard me say last season, there is no team behind Dissect. I research, write, record, edit, mix, and master every episode of Dissect. It takes over 20 hours to produce a single episode, often more. And while Dissect is and always will be a passion project, there are fees associated with hosting the show that increases as the show gains a larger audience.

Visit patreon.com/dissect to find out more and make your pledge today. Again, pledges start as little as $1 a month, and there are some great perks available exclusively for supporters. And yes, one of those perks is an early reveal of the subject of Season 2, plus a sneak peak of the first episode!

Ok, let’s recap.

* Dissect Season 2 premieres Tuesday, August 1st.

* You can purchase our book The Blacker the Berry on Kickstarter.

* You can support Dissect and get a sneak peak at season 2 by becoming a Patreon.

I’ll talk to you again August 1st.
