Inaugurating the launch of their Patreon and merch projects, Alec and Nick discuss their ambitious "mise en place" for a new year of podcasts, guest appearances and exclusive publications. "Mise en place"—the french culinary term for "putting in place" or "gathering" an array of ingredients—serves as a way of framing these new Patron benefits. On the menu: The "Editorials & Opinions" sub-series, focusing on hot takes on the topical music issues of our times; The "Politics & Poetry" sub-series, focusing on kitchen sink discussions of current events and various subjects of human interest in music; and, the "Study Group" sub-series, focusing on close readings of classic musical texts & works. Patrons will also receive The Flavortone Review: monthly assembled PDF documents surveying the materials discussed in the episodes. Additional benefits include annual free merch gifts, supper club invitations & more. Bon appetite, arrivederci, and happy new year!
