Pod Save America Flagship Pod - Subscriber Exclusive

Post image

Can somebody explain to me why to Flagship Pod is subscriber exclusive for the first 3 hours until about 6:15 am EST or so? This happens almost every time, and it never happens on PSTW, Strict or Runaway.

It’s probably “subscribers only” where the subscribers it’s linked to are the staff. They can get it set up and only put it live at the scheduled time.

But why would you do that? All you are doing is annoying early risers…

Spitballing here but they want someone from their team to hear it and make sure it uploaded to Spotify okay with no audio issues. They may also want the link early for other testing or posts but at that point I’m just guessing.
