The relaunch/podcast feed is great for the cohosts! Bigger audience for Tay and our TTSS/Taste of Taylor fam. More listeners should mean more ad revenue for the biz 💛🎧
Nicole
Woohoo it’s pinned! Hope this helps 💛
Taylor Strecker
Hi Cindy - There's not much change for subscribers, as you'll still get 5 shows a week. The shows are also at least an hour, so you won't be getting any less content. We made these changes to streamline the brand and also we're now able to share portions of the show outside the paywall which will help us grow the show and community. For now, part of the deal with Dear Media is that we'd include the ads on Thursdays. Unfortunately it was a non-negotiate to get the deal done, but we fully intend on all days being ad-free once we prove to keep the numbers up! The Friday show is only on Patreon. Let us know if you have any other questions!
Cindy Wagner
Hi—been a fan and daily listener from the cosmo/ Victoria days and a day one subscriber on Patreon. Will continue to subscribe and listen daily, but not sure I understand the upside of this change for subscribers. We get less content, shorter shows and one day with ads? Can someone please explain to me what I’m missing. I’m not going anywhere, love Tay and love the show, but don’t get the upside of this change to anyone but Taylor who can double duty her content. Ok, new ‘ art’, but so what.
Nicole
Suggestion - you may want to pin this post. Some people still have questions about the changes with the relaunch and maybe didn’t see this yet 🤓
Leanne Parker
Really Harry? That's all you understood from my comment?
PMH1202
Commercials one day a week… whatever will we do. 🤦🏼♂️
PMH1202
Please!!!!!
Taylor Strecker
It will be released at midnight EST and you can still listen on Patreon !
Em
Question - will we still get the Thursday episodes at midnight, or will those only live on podcast apps?
Saron Olkaba
Well done tay tay
Sheri
As long as Dr.Wider doesn’t go anywhere either will I. Love ya Tay!
Emily Ryan Clement
I absolutely love combining the 2 all in one place. The more, the merrier and things can switch up. I have to toggle between. Ya’ll will find a good balance. All the Tator Tot Fans in one place. OG since 2006…bring Kenny in for Fat Kid Friday segs. Even if it’s only once a month. I love me some Matt Ryan too! Change will mean growth and most of us know ur ready to leap! We’ve gone through several as OGs and things have only gotten better!!!! Live in TX please!!! Dallas but Austin would be 😘😘😘
Emily Ryan Clement
Same!!!
Joe
Bummed we are losing an hour with the cohosts. I would definitely pay more if you introduced a new tier with bonus episodes! 😇
Taylor Strecker
That's correct!
Ericka Arbour
Question….so Thursday will be the only weekday that won’t be typical cohost TTSS format, correct?
April Small
This!! 💕
April Small
Congratulations!! I’ve been listening since 2006, I’m not going anywhere! I love you and all the cohosts so much!
Darrell and Sherrita Hawkins
Congratulations! I can't wait for your live shows, they are always fun.
Hayley burrows
Please please can we make sure Chris in on weekly gosh I love his hour!!!!!! Xoxoxo

Brittney Osborne
So so excited for you. And so excited that it will be easier to share you with my friends. You seriously deserve all the success in the world. You've been fame adjacent for so long like.....why not YOU?!?!
Cori Zastera
Listener since 2007 and I am soooooo fucking proud of you!! Slay the house down boots Taylords!!!!!
Rebecca Levine
Go Tay!! So happy to see you growing your business and thriving. Joined in 2020 and will always be a lifetime listener cheering you on!
Jessica Doyle-Rudin
I am just deeply disappointed, after being a paid listener the entire time. TS & TD people struggle financially and this was my escape and this is just sad for people who have supported you and paid to listen to you. I haven’t been able to work for over a year for health issues and you were my escape but now this. Also, saying if we cancel we have to pay you more to come back. What happened to you? Heartbroken and I have met you in person and really looked up to you. So many people supported you after you got fired. Consider supporting your loyal followers.
Tricia
Excellent! On board! You got this!
Lindsey Clancey
This is going to level up the show so much!! ❤️❤️
Taylor Strecker
😘
Taylor Strecker
Radio BFF is my new fav thing!

BRB SOBBING 🥹❤️
Ali M
Congrats! So cool to see how much you’ve done in the last year. Can’t wait to see you take it to the next level!
Sue
You got this girl!!
Ginna
Taylor looked a little nervous delivering the news and that kinda hurt my heart This is exciting and we are all here because we love and believe in her! Go, Girl, Go!
Michelle
I agree! It’s basically shrinkflation which is pretty common. I am with others who said they would pay more for more content 😊 it is a business at the end of the day.
Rebecca
All sounds amazing!! Congrats to you both!!! I have always loved Taste of Taylor!!!! Now if my radio BFF (my nickname for you going back to the radio days) will come do a live show in San Francisco!!!!! 😘 to you both!!
jelica
I have a consulting firm and would happily give TTSS the family rate 😘😘😘!
Jami McCaslin
I’m a true OG and have been listening since Cosmo/facility days. I have my “birth certificate” (those who know, know what I mean and I had a convo with you and Kenny back in the day.). People have choices and there are those that may decide to no longer participate in all of wonderful things you bring to us. Let them. In the meantime, revel in your past, current and future successes. You and Teddy are going places that you don’t even understand quite yet. Keep on keepin on!
Taylor Strecker
Thank you baby angel!
Taylor Strecker
I second that!!!
Taylor Strecker
Days may shift but Chris can’t get away that easy 🤣
Taylor Strecker
We might need to hire you as CFO after this post 🤣😘
Kyla Nitzke
I mean, it’s ad free everyday except Thursday
Lindsey Vaught
So first we went from 2 hour daily shows to 1 hour shows. Now we went from no ads to now ads for 1 show that is available free to the public (Thursdays). Yes, technically the price didn’t go up - but since the amount of content has gone down 60% since I joined (10 hours a week less 5 hours for the cut in half less 1 hour free to the public = 4 hours of content), the price did go up for what we receive. I understand it, but this is rather disappointing.
Sarah Welsh
Is Chris going to be a Fridays still!?! I LOL all the time with him. hey Biiiiiiitch
Barbara Vela
💯 perfectly stated 👏👏👏 I recently saw that “ a couple previously from RHOCc“ are at $25.00 a month for weekly only . ( no , they are not for me:)
Barbara Vela
I fully understand! Want to see you gain more and more visibility or whatever the podcast language is😊 so happy for you - since the cosmo days and Fridays McRib with Kenny ! Hope to see you with Stassi as well 👏👏👏👏
Nicole
Any chance we can get this post Unlocked so we can share with our besties? 📲
Nicole
What’s IHIP? $25 is good market research for the Tays to know 🤓
Leanne Parker
Yep
jelica
All of you peoples on here complaining let’s just talk about something Taylor won’t. It is expensive to run a business. Inflation has caused businesses to eat cost that before they wouldn’t have had to. We do not pay credit card processing fees - that’s anywhere from 2% - 5% (depending on volume) of her revenue. That's anywhere from $0.34/ transaction to $0.13/ transaction (for $6.99 tiers); or, $0.50/ transaction to $0.20/ transaction (for $10 tiers (which I’m sure you’d also complain about if it were included in your transactions)). Taylor does not have to pay them - they are choosing to not pass them on to us. Zero idea what Taylor pays her co-hosts - but let's say it's 10% - 20% of each show they do (or something like that for simple math's sake). Her take-home ends up being around probably $3.50ish - $7.00ish (depending on the tier per subscription). Other podcasts charge anywhere from $5-$25+ for one to four shows a week with some having commercials. So, in conclusion, please, stop with the drama theatrics and support her or get off the boat. This is a phenomenal show with content that is worth more than what you or I are paying for it. Hugs and kisses.
jelica
I agree with Nicole! I pay $25/ Month for IHIP. I WILL HAPPILY PAY THAT FOR YOU BISSSHH.
jelica
She said around 6mins that you can cancel before EOM if you’re not happy… so… 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
Aimee Sicuro
Yay Girl Yay!! 💓This is exciting!!!
Elizabeth Larson
Congratulations, I think this is an amazing change! I always forget to listen to taste of Taylor because this is such routine for me every morning since the facility, I just hope none of the cohosts are going away! :)
Nicki Parrish
This is great news. Teddy officially joining the show full time is the best decision and having her has been so great for the show. Change is coming and it’s gonna be sooooo good! I’m ready to change and grow with you!
Leanne Parker
Loyal listener since 2007 here. So if I'm getting this right, you are adding commercials, but we pay the same subscription fee. I *thought* I was paying for an ad free experience. Did you even consider that that we should maybe see our subscription fees reduced? You are afterall getting ad revenue and we aren't getting what we were paying for. But instead I am supposed to be grateful because you are not raising my subscription fee??? Never felt less appreciated for my patronage. Or more BSd /gaslit.
Marva Schultz
So exciting. Can’t wait for the live shows.
Mark J
Exciting! Curious to see how this may impact the conversations co-hosts are willing to have given the top of the episode (which is usually the best, most personal type of stories, updates, etc.) is no longer behind a paywall.
Taylor Strecker
😍
Claudia Sigala
Love it and love watching you grow! Here’s to onwards and upwards!
Meredith Chenella
Sad we are loosing a show a week. Love you and always want more!
Kelsey brookner
This is great news! Proud TTSS supporter since 2009!
Allyson Evans
So excited for you! The shows have been great since TD has come on board and you’re killing it Tay! I listen to another podcast that has daily stuff on Patreon that we pay for and then they have two weekly shows with ads in the regular podcast world. It’s not a big deal. It’ll all work out! Thrilled to see all these updates and changes!!! You look fantastic! I like actually seeing your face here! ❤️
Elizabeth Franke
Great news, congratulations on your improvements ! I’ve been listening to you since “ the facility” and I’m here to stay. Love seeing you grow and improve your brand!
Taylor Strecker
😍
Sarah stender
I think with inflation & the cost for Taylor to do business going up; one less show each week that is just for patreon subscribers and not raising prices is probably a fair deal. Plus now Taylor will have more time to be on other podcasts & do live shows. I love catching her stassi’s podcast for free.
Taylor Strecker
Love youuuu
Marge
Hire this girl! Marketing genius!
Jill Przymus
Congratulations! A little change can't scare me away! Keep up the great work!!
Sarah stender
So exciting!!!!! Cheers to you growing audience even more ❤️
Michelle
Oh shoot, I was hoping the cohosts would just be on taste of Taylor on Thursdays now. Hopefully that still happens from time to time! There are some guests I like on Taste of Taylor but some that are more promotional that just don’t do it for me. Most of them are good though!
Maria N
Congrats!!!!

Lise Mackey
Love it!!! Way to go girl! Hey girl, hey!
Courtney Smyth
Yessss!!! So exciting for you and the “BRAND”!! Can’t wait for what’s to come!!
Taylor Strecker
No Thursday is the only thing that is changes from what you know TTSS to be!
Nicole
💡3rd Patreon tier with additional podcast episodes please and thank you! Let’s get you a raise, girl! Solo, the fab cohosts with room for even more, TD, friends, family, business contacts/peers - I need more & WANT to pay you more💰 I’m thinking $19 each month with an additional 3 episodes a week? Some can be scheduled to release on the weekend They can be more evergreen so wouldn’t need Tea in Three unless it really fits that day - like a same-day record, huge news, etc. Could call the 3rd tier something clever like “Chef’s choice” or “Extra toppings” & could deep-dive into a topic, learning even more about your cohost, discuss a movie you both love, anything & everything you want to chat about. Pretty please 🙏🥰🎧
Brianne Krakaur
If I can handle the Tia days with music in between, this is nothing! Congratulations 🍾

Sara McConnell
Congratulations girl, congrats!!
Chrysaff
Thank you for explanation. Does not feel like a rebrand from a marketing perspective. Feels like a merger and decrease in your overall output. Which is fine, but charging same amount for what was 10 hours of content, decreased to 5. A change in time on Mondays to an afternoon release and now the podcast on a Thursday rather than the ‘daily’ show- there should be a decrease in cost to subscribers.
Michelle Kottmann
Not me crying when you talk about keeping the price the same 💕 stupid hormones
Lise Katz
Makes so much sense!! Congratulations 🥂
Anna watterworth
Let’s fucking go !!!!!!!!!!!! You deserve this amazing step up in your career and we are all along for the ride :)
Lali
YES!!! Love seeing you continue to grow and succeed and taking us along for the ride! Can never get enough of our little cup of espresso. You and TD are the best team! I’m so happy for you! Ads don’t bother me a bit. Btw you are positively glowing & stunning in this video🤩
Shayna Pham
Congrats Tay! I've been listening since 2012, and I'm excited to see you take your business to tthe next level!
Kate Hergott
1 - this is all so exciting!! 2 - idk if it’s all the Agatha All Along clips I’ve been seeing, but I feel like we can add Kathryn Hahn to the list of people you look like! And I know you literally just said to not tell people who they look like, but she’s beautiful so I’m going to say it 😆
Gillian Froelich
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Lisa A Martin
Omg love it!!! Totally makes sense. Duh!!! And LOVE « Taste of Taylor ». I completely co-sign this!!!! Congrats!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Rob Andrew
I believe so Thursdays is going to be the interview show. So we still get 5 shows a week just one less day with a cohost.
Randa Parker
Congratulations! So proud of you!
Emily Knoll
So, so happy with how you guys are growing the show!! The change may be an adjustment but as long as we get our 5 days of Tay I’m happy! Congrats!
Michelle Masilon
Congratulations! I cannot wait for the live shows!!!
Rob Andrew
CAN NOT WAIT!!! This is so exciting! Been listening since 2013 and Taylor you are such a talent and the future looks bright. You know a spot is going to open on the TODAY SHOW, what do we gotta do to get you that 4th hour gig?!? We are all here to help you and TD secure that bag.
adrienne Barnes
Congratulations Taylor!! Can't wait to see the show go even further than it has! Excited for you!
Catie
Okay exciting and wonderful and I’m so on board BUT I COULD HARDLY FOCUS CAUSE I CANT GET OVER HOW GOOD YOU LOOK!! HOTTT MAMAAAAA YESS MOTHERRRRR. That outfit just makes your eyes POP and they’re GORGEOUS.

Raychel
This is fantastic! I hope this brings all the eyes and ears your way and they can see you and the other cohosts shine like we get to each day!
Bitsy Prudhomme
Excited for you, Tay! It’ll take a lot for me to unsubscribe. Such a smart idea to combine. This next chapter will be amazing!!!
Lindsay McGhee-Dingman
ChChChanges..... I love it and I am so happy for the Tays. I'm along for the ride and wherever it takes me.
candicenoelle2
So excited for you!! Such a perfect next step!
Michelle
Congrats! The only thing I don’t understand is the cohost situation, are we losing a day of cohosts for interview type style or Stassi type guests on Thursdays?
Jody Pradelski
So happy for you Tay!! Will there be any changes to the daily cohosts aside from Thursdays?
Molly Beatty
This is amazing!! Sooo happy for you and all these big boss moves

Congratulations! This is exciting and I’m so inspired by all your hard work! Hopefully the cohosts, cohosts mashups, Awards, etc. all stay the same 🙏!!
Stefanie Rosenzweig
Genius!! Combining the brands makes so much sense! Was surprised about the TOT name, but already getting used to it. I see how it makes more sense from a marketing and ad perspective to keep with that name for sure! Go TD for being a supportive partner and super smart. Congrats TS on this growth in life and business!!! See you at a live show! Stefanie from WC 😘😘
Christina Caldwell
Girl, please! I hope you don’t stress too much over our reaction. Do you realize all the changes that have happened over the years (I’ve been around since 2008)?! You’ve presented us with changes in every aspect of the show and your life, and they’ve all been for the best. I’ve loved following ALL of your journey. Being it on!
Nicole Hoffman
Love this for you and all of us loyal listeners! 🎉
Jessica
I’m a bit bummed it’ll be one less day with a cohost…I prefer them to most of the guests on the pod :/
Kate
I adore you, and I love how much you care about your girlies 💗 You should be SO proud of yourself for making these changes, doing what makes sense for you and TD and of course we’ll be right here supporting you!! Get it, girl.
Safifii
This is exciting!! It takes some courage to make changes and props to you and TD for going for it!!! Success incoming!! 😍😍
Melissa Husenits
I will follow you no matter what you do! You look amazing!
Kim Jackson
Literally been a listener for 14+ years so fully invested at this point! Congratulations and love this journey you are on. So deserved!! 💪🏻🥰
SarahAnn Goldnau-Vogt
I mean it all makes sense… but I’m bummed that every change means less content. Went from 11 hours a week to 6, now to 5. I’m glad you’re making changes that make sense for you - I’d rather a price increase than a content decrease.
Wendy phillips
Very excited Taylor!!!
Leah Terry
So excited for you!!!! And I'm very proud of you! Can't wait to see what's next!!!🥰
Janet McCartin
Wishing you so much success with the changes to your brand. I’m along for the ride wherever it takes us! You look gorgeous in this video!

10000% Taylor is gorgeous!

I hate change but LOVE everything you are saying!! So excited, congratulations 🍾

You’re killling it! I’ve noticed the show getting better and better over the past year or so. Bringing TD on board was the best decision. It’s also TS though - her happiness is radiating into the show

So smart! Can’t wait for live shows! We can handle commercials, get that bag!
Stephanie Okum
Will you still have the same rotation of fabulous cohosts?
