On the 50th Effectively Wild bonus podcast for selected Patreon supporters, Ben and Meg banter about end-of-year podcast publishing, a perplexing Christmas song lyric, and what they did over the holidays, share low-stakes rants about carrots and airfare, and then answer listener AMA questions about skipping episodes (and disabling notifications), New Year's resolutions, tripling their incomes at the cost of eschewing solid food, book recommendations (political theory-related and otherwise), and what Ben hopes his daughter grows up to do, plus musings on multiple movies they didn't enjoy, Ben's favorite musical discovery of 2025, and more.If you haven't already done so, you can add your personal, private feed for bonus episodes to your podcast app by following the instructions here: https://support.patreon.com/hc/en-us/articles/360041347732--How-to-use-your-custom-audio-RSS-link (If you have any issues, please contact Patreon support!)
