You heard their comment about a researcher, they won’t pay for one until they hit some nebulous figure on patreon. They haven’t considered doing it themselves, which is ridiculous given Rosemary edits the podcast herself. They don’t actually need a researcher, they need to be less opinionated and better read on things that are not dragon porn or management books. She does the bare minimum and wants to be rewarded for it. The podcast is years old and it has not progressed at all. Guaranteed there will be huge gaps soon because they never bothered to bank any episodes.
