Ghost Theory FAQ

How did Joe and Elliot meet and start Ghost Theory?

The answer to this deserves its own page: How Ghost Theory Came to Be

Where can I watch Ghost Theory?

Ghost Theory episodes are available on both YouTube and Patreon.

They also have a second YouTube channel: Ghost Theory On The Road.

Do I need to pay to watch Ghost Theory?

No. You can simply go to their YouTube channel and watch their many free episodes, with a new one available each Saturday. Don't forget to hit "subscribe" (again, free!) to follow their channel and be notified of new videos.

Why might I want a paid membership?

If you decide to become a member on YouTube, starting at level 2 you will be able to view all of their members-only videos. These videos share glimpses from behind the scenes of Ghost Theory's episodes.

If you decide to become a member on Patreon, starting at level 2 you will receive all of the same perks as on YouTube *plus* one-day-early new episode viewing each week.

How do I become a YouTube member?

You may sign up to become a member HERE. Remember to select level two if you want access to members-only videos.

How do I become a Patreon member?

You can get all of the same content, plus one-day-early access to each new episode, by becoming a member on Patreon here.

What's the difference between YouTube and Patreon? How do I decide which to join?

All the same content can be had via either platform; they are the same, with the exception of one-day-early-viewing (which is exclusive to Patreon). For a full breakdown of the differences between Youtube and Patreon memberships, including cost, view This Membership Guide.

I want to gift someone a Ghost Theory membership.

This is easy to do via Patreon. Simply visit HERE and click the three dots in the upper right, OR, select "gift" (depending on whether you are on mobile or PC).

Unfortunately the only way to gain a gifted membership on YouTube, currently, is to be awarded one (they are randomly assigned) while attending a live chat/episode premiere on Saturdays. These gifted memberships also default to the lowest membership level, meaning tier 1, which does not include access to members-only videos.
