I love your newsletter!

Particularly I love reading the most interesting headlines to the kids at the dinner table. Keep it up!

Btw, since you're subscribed already, do you mind me asking what you think about the $8/mo? I'd really value your opinion.

I would think about it for sure.

My comparison point would be a Patreon podcast membership that’s $5 a month for weekly bonus podcasts.

I would do this ASAP if you plan to. As in the “podcast” model you’re getting more than what youre used to receiving for free. Here you’d be restricting free content to something less than people have gotten used to.

Thanks, Doug, really appreciate that feedback! Yeah, I'd prefer to add value for the paid tier, I just don't know where I would find the time. This is really helpful, though, thanks again. I'll keep noodling on it :)
