The first episode of 2004: The Year Indie Rock Broke drops today, and you can listen to it here. Our weekly episodes are free, but we wanted to give the fans who want even more a couple of ways to go deeper, because honestly, there's so much that didn’t make it into the episodes.

First up: upgrading to hear more. When we sit down with these artists, we end up with way more tape than we can ever fit into an episode. Full conversations that run long, tangents that don't fit the narrative but are still great, stories that got cut for time but that we didn't want to lose. Upgrading gets you access to that — bonus, exclusive interviews with the artists and weekly newsletter missives from the executive producers with stories and interviews that didn’t make it into the show. It's basically the version of this show for people who, like us, could talk about 2004 indie rock for an infinity more hours if given the chance. You can upgrade here.

Second: merch. We put a lot of thought into making stuff that actually looks like the show feels — warm, a little worn-in, like it belongs next to your old CD collection. If you want something to wear that says "yes, I too remember when the Shins were still your little secret," this is that. Shop is right here.

Neither of these is required, obviously — we're just glad you're listening. But if you've got a few extra dollars burning a hole in your pocket and you want to support the show directly, we would appreciate it.

Thanks for being here. It means a lot.

Courtney E. Smith, Melissa Locker, and Jordan Kurland — the executive producers of 2004
