THURSDAY EVENING WAFFLE POST - MORE PATREON DAYS OUT?
🕑 Added 2025-08-28 16:12:27 +0000 UTCEvenin’ all.
We’ve just recorded next week’s Bubblegun. And man… you are not ready. If you thought the Dalek one was weird, you’ve heard nothing yet…
We think we’re recording a couple of videos next week. I mean, we’re definitely doing our ghost hunt, but possibly another before then. That’ll be another city vid, in the ongoing, on-and-off, series. Which city? Wait and see! It’s somewhere I haven’t been to since I was 16.
We’re planning at least a couple of videos for Halloween – with October being ‘spooky month’ on the channel.
Now... having had a think, we’re not going to move any more videos over to the new channel. Doing so with the Lincoln one – though we’re happy to have the city vids all in one place – seems to have kicked the momentum out of things (at least in terms of views; subs are still climbing). Obviously, most of you had seen it already, and that seemed to have a knock-on effect with the algorithm. Instead, I’ve made them all public again on Digitiser, and we’ll just forge ahead on Paul And Sanja with new stuff only.
I’ll be honest, while it’s LOVELY to have a new YouTube home where – for the most part – people are enjoying what we’re doing (unless you come from Nottingham apparently; they’re very touchy about Robin Hood), it kind of sucks that we were left with no option but to start again.
Now it does feel like all those videos - that did so well, and we were so proud of - are outliers on Digitiser. With them stuck over there they’re not going to help the new channel grow, and we're all too aware that they're not what a big section of Digi subscribers want. I'd love to have all the content in the right place, but it feels like all that time and effort over the past couple of years was now a waste.
And we’re still getting comments on there like this:
And we had one on the Hellfire Caves video from someone saying something like all it did was make them want a Barshens video where they stay overnight in the caves! Can't post it here because I deleted it in a fit of pique.
But anyway. It is what it is, even though it sucks that we can't escape it.
We'll be seeing some of you on Biffo's Brain later tonight. And some of you in person for the ghost hunt next week. I was considering the other day that we should do more Patreon days out where we all club together and get somewhere to ourselves. Doesn't have to be another ghost hunt, but if you've any suggestions for locations - or group activities - that would make for a good video, let us know in the comments.

We will! But we’re not allowed to until we have some more watch hours…

You could do a playlist on the Paul & Sanja channel that collects the same-styled videos from the Digitiser channel so viewers new and old might more easily find them?

San shot first!

Here's an idea that I've totally not thought through in any way at all! Why not do some of your magic editing to make the old videos new again. A bit of choppy choppy here and some re-dub there, hell, even a bit to camera or message at some point to explain that these are old but different... and Trevor's your uncle; boom new video. Right? You could even go deeper and use alt takes, or some of the extras to (I don't want to say 'pad it out', but y'know) give a real difference between old and new. More work for you, I know. And I also don't know how you feel about doing a Lucus and fiddling with your old work?
