COMMUNITY
Our Patreon originally launched in 2016 with a handful of folks pledging to cover site and equipment costs, and this effort has since grown into a thriving community, meeting virtually and in person! We’re grateful for the ongoing support as our patrons fuel the continuing growth of both our content and our community. We’d be honored to have you join the fold, too; there’s always room for one more in our nest. We truly appreciate any size pledge! And if $5 USD is still too much for you to give each month, please reach out. We’d love for you to take part in our Discord community with whatever size gift you’re able.

Opportunity to participate in occasional community events.
Listen exclusively to our monthly bonus podcast, The YOBaLOGUE.
Receive regular invitations to 60- or 90-minute Zoom video conference calls (“Zoom Rooms”) with Tom, YOB contributors, and fellow patrons! We generally meet the 2nd and 4th weeks of each month on various Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 8-9pm GMT and 8-10pm ET.
We take the first part of our time together to check in with one another, along with meeting any new patrons, before diving into a deeper discussion topic for the rest of our call. These topics generally follow our most recent podcast episode.
Calls are available to 18+ males with a traditional sexual ethic. Join us for any/all of our time together!
Join us also to hear about any upcoming YOB news and content before anyone else, and get priority placement with any podcast suggestions!
