SUBSCRIBE TO CLUB PARSNIPS HERE
UPDATE! Club Parsnips is now available to subscribe to within Apple’s Podcasts app and also here via Acast. They’re slightly cheaper than the Patreon version as they’re audio-only and you don’t get a few of the extra bits that you do on Patreon. You can also get a SEVEN DAY FREE TRIAL on Patreon and Apple.
If you’ve subscribed or are considering subscribing to our Club Parsnips extra stuff thing on Patreon, here are some questions you might be asking…
What will I get as a Club Parsnips member and how much will it cost?
For £2.50 +VAT* each month, you get…
- Every episode of Athletico Mince, three days before non-subscribers and with all the adverts removed
- An exclusive episode* of our new spin-off podcast Athletico Parsnips each month
- Exclusive BenPics animations and studio footage
- An exclusive bonus compilation episode each month, covering a different Mince character/feature
- The entire Mince podcast archive, with all ads removed
- Advance notice/early bird ticket links for any future live shows we might do
- (*selected bits of Athletico Parsnips (NOT entire episodes) will eventually be released for all listeners but not until at least nine months after they’ve appeared here)
- (*cost may vary slightly depending on which country you’re based in)
When will I be charged?
You’ll be charged upon subscribing and then charged monthly.
What the hell is Athletico Parsnips?
It’s pretty much the same as a regular Mince episode but exclusive to Parsnips members, and with the addition of us answering some listeners’ queries and problems – if you have a query or problem, submit it to us via the message bit ONLY on the Patreon page. Queries directed at the characters from Mince are welcomed and will be considered.

How do I get the exclusive bonus episodes?
Once you subscribe you’ll get your own private RSS link which you can add to most podcast apps (but NOT Spotify or PodBean at the moment). You’ll only need to do this once and you’ll then get all the regular episodes as you do now, as well as all the bonus ones.
How do I add the private RSS link?
Most podcast apps (but not Spotify or PodBean at the moment) have a special area where you can do this. For example, in Apple Podcasts, go to ‘Library’ then ‘Edit’ then ‘Add a Podcast by URL’. If you get stuck, drop us a line at athleticomince@gmail.com and we’ll try our best to help you out.
I can’t find my private RSS link for the Club Parsnips podcasts?
You’ll have received an email with it in when you signed up. Alternatively, if you go to https://www.patreon.com/athleticomince/overview it’ll be there under ‘Audio RSS Link’.
I can’t get the RSS link in the Patreon email to work in my podcast player.
Check that your link starts with http://patreon.com – sometimes when you copy from the email, it’ll have ‘email.mailgun’ near the start of the link. Delete that bit. Best bet is to copy the link directly from your Patreon page rather than the email.
Can you recommend an alternative podcast app to Spotify or Podbean?
There are loads – for iOS, there’s Acast, Overcast, Podcruncher, Castbox, Pocketcasts, and loads more.
For Android, there’s Acast, Castbox, PocketCasts (, Podcast Addict or Podcast Go.
There’s also the Patreon app itself, which will have everything you get as a Club Parnsips member in one place.
Why is Overcast asking me to a username and password when I paste the Patreon RSS?
You need to click on ‘done’ rather than ‘use password’ after adding the RSS feed, but if you do get asked for them, leave the user and password fields blank and press ‘next’ to get past them.
Where will I see BenPics’ exclusive animations?
These will only be available on your Patreon page, either on the Patreon website or on the Patreon app. We’ll make them free for everyone to view on YouTube after nine months.
Will I be able to download the podcasts?
Most podcast apps allow this, yes.
If I don’t subscribe, will I be getting less Mince than I do now?
No – we’ll still put out the same number of Mince episodes as we do now – but you’ll be getting them three days after Club Parsnips members.
Is there a minimum period of sign up?
One month.
How easy is it to cancel if I don’t like it?
Very easy, just cancel your monthly payment via your Patreon account.
What about the VAT bit?
That gets charged by Patreon according to whichever country you’re in and in addition to your monthly charge (but all in the same payment) – it’s usually around 20% though.
I like it – how do I sign up?
Just go to our Patreon page, set up an account and subscribe!
I have a question that you haven’t covered here.
No problem – drop us a line at athleticomince@gmail.com and we’ll do our best to help.
