The Pilot's Club
The Whatnauts Pilot’s Club is a podcast all about the pilot episodes of television shows and the many reasons why they may or may not be worth a watch. Every month we pick a different pilot episode to watch and then discuss it here on our show.
We release these episodes first and foremost to our Patreon supporters on our $3 tier and above. Then, two years later we release these episodes to a wider audience on a public feed. So if you wanna catch up on two years worth of episodes, our Patreon is the place to do that.
Check out the FREE version of the Pilot's Club. Episodes are exclusive to our Patreon for two years before becoming free. So if you enjoy these episodes, there is still two years worth of episodes to catch up on.
