Introducing: The Rest Is Entertainment Club

0:02Now, hello everyone. We have very important news for you. It's not important news really. I mean, in the context of our relationship with you, it's important news. So many people have asked us about having an ad-free tier, and that is what we want to talk to you about now in this advert. I'm aware that's ironic, because now is your chance to join us as we welcome the first ever members of our The Restless Entertainment Club. And the benefits of membership are really rather lovely, aren't they, Richard? Well, you would expect so. We would expect that. They're probably not going to shock listeners of other podcasts who have ad-free tiers.

0:33No. I mean, we haven't broken them all, but for starters, you will get all the shows ad-free. So we know the ads which support the show are not for everyone. So if you'd rather not hear them, we're going to have a membership level just for you, which we call our VIP club. And like all VIP clubs, there are about five levels above that as well. So you go in the VIP door, you're like, oh my God, there's like another door. Yes, and our VIPs will also get early access to our questions and answers episode, which will be available the same time as the main episode on a Tuesday. And here is something exciting.

1:01our VIP members will also get early access to live show tickets, about which we may have some news fairly imminently. We've never done a live show, though. That's a hopeless thing to have, unless we decided to do one. Unless there's something coming down the slipway. Much against our better judgement. To do something crazy. You will be able to get priority tickets to our shows a full 48 hours before the general public. No waiting online in queues. The best tickets guaranteed. That's if we do a live show. Not saying we're going to. If something is about to happen. I'm not saying we've been bullied by all the significant people in our lives to do one.

1:35Plus, you will also get access to all of our newsletters, including those from previous weeks, which mean you'll be able to check out all our recommendations for TV, movies and books. So that is our VIP level. And hopefully that will work out nicely for many of you. I know lots of people have asked. However, that is not all. Told you. Yeah. If you would enjoy bonus content, including episodes dedicated to single subjects, really deep dives by two obsessives, there is another tier of this club just for you don't tell me vip plus it is oh my god it includes everything you get from vip membership and much more uh it is called uh i'm reading this for the first time but it's okay access all areas but will it be well i bet there's another tier above that when you go to like a gig and they give you like triple a and you go oh my god i'm triple a and then you see someone else with like a golden thing you're like oh god i might as well have like a piece of toilet roll around my neck it's called access all areas yeah yeah can i just say you've done this before haven't you yeah i have yeah it's called access all areas and we'll be providing regular extra shows marina will start us off on a deep dive in to say the life and work of steven seagal yeah i'm i'm going to talk about steven seagal at some length exactly uh then you know i'll do something on what would i do richard you might do a special on your favorite spielberg movie jorts or i might do something actually what i'm more likely to do is a series of specials on the movies of Guy Ritchie.

2:56I'll be right here for it. We might team up and do, because we talked ages ago about doing an episode on It's a Royal Knockout. But what we're saying is we will be doing extra podcasts on areas that we love, like deep dive into stuff that we care about. Listen, they might be niche. Some people might find them esoterica, but we will really sell them to you. To reiterate, VIP, you get ad free, you get access to tickets should we do a live show, you get the question and answers episode early as well. And for that, access all areas there will be extra bonus content as well. They're both good deals.

3:27And for details of them, please go to therestisentertainment.com. That is therestisentertainment.com to join our members club. It's going to be a huge amount of fun. It is going to be a huge amount of fun. And by the way, you do not have to sign up. You really don't. We will continue doing everything we always do and the advertisers will pay for it and you can enjoy it exactly where you want. This is just, if this is something you would like to do, if it's something that you'd like extra staff or you'd like no ads, anything like that, do it. But you do not have to. we will still be doing the podcast exactly as normal.

3:55I'm not saying it's not compulsory. We would never force anyone into anything. It's just a lot of people have asked us about this. So it is now being offered. Visit therestisentertainment.com
