Hello everyone! It’s been a hell of a week. I went to New York to attend the wedding of a dear old friend. I am working on long form stuff. And a very exciting guest and I recorded possibly the best episode of Reading in the Time of Monsters yet, which I will release in the next few days.
So, I don’t have reviews this week, again, sorry! But here’s what I do have: a sustainable idea for a reward tier! Those of you good enough to donate your five dollars a month or fifty a year have been very patient with me, and my badness at figuring out good monetizing. I just don’t have the subscriber base to restrict content, put some stuff behind a paywall, and I really don’t have the inclination to do so either.
What I do have is a pretty good Discord server! Discord, for those of you unfamiliar, is a chat service, where people can set up servers with various channels for text, voice, and video chat. Even a tech dummy like me finds Discord very easy to use. “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Peter” already has forty-odd members and fun discussion of all kinds of stuff — book, politics, games, pets, life in general — every day.
So, if you haven’t already, consider going into your membership settings here on Substack and subscribing at five dollars a month or fifty a year, and get access to a pretty neat community. If you’re already a paying Citizen and are not in the Discord, I will be sending you an invitation soon!
Mithra’s a member, but mostly lurks… and lounges.
Would be pleased to get an invitation!
Looking forward to listening to your mystery guest haha!
