- 2016-02-06 A code in the Comment field of ID3 tags of the MP3 file (episode#68, guest Jim Crawford) lead to the Museum of Jurassic Technology event.
Patreon
Two ARGers have chosen to support the Red Pages Podcast on Patreon, and as part of their reward, occasionally receive a physical item in the mail. Justin has stated on his twitch stream that these items are important.
Items appear to be numbered by fractions of twelve, but come in out of order.
Jul 2016 - 3/12
A postcard. The back included the message "Help I'm a bug", and the fraction "3/12".
Aug 2016 - 11/12
Theeyeshaveyou letter
Sep 2016 - 4/12
A letter with just "The", styled like an essay from SpongeBob animated television series. 4/12 is in the bottom-left corner of the second sheet of paper.
Oct 2016 - 9/12
A laminated book excerpt. It appears to be a quote from Writing Machines by N. Katherine Hayles - 2002
November 2016 - 1/12
Fake latin generated with a lorem ipsum generator (probably lipsum.com) with some other words blended in. 1/12 on the backside. The paper was torn into quarters, different backers got different pairs of quarters.

December 2016
A hand-drawn QR code that links to a jsfiddle page with some numbers. No x/12 fraction this time. The numbers can be decoded from base36 (1036 is a hint for that) into:
NO TH1S I5 N0T 4RG R3L4T3D HAHAH4HA JK IT IS JK 1T 1S NOT JK 1T1S jk
We don't know yet if those extra 1337-sp34k characters are decoding into something too, it's an open line of investigation.
