Hey there! Small update here on the frequency and format of the newsletter: I’m now testing a weekly email instead of daily one.
Daily is simply too intense at the moment as I’m building up and improving on various fronts. Also it makes more sense regarding the publication frequency of most podcasts and there topics of discussions. We’re not really looking at daily news here but more “evergreen” discussions.
Also, I’m slowing adding more podcasts and topics to my watchlist to bring you better content. They are organized in the following sections and soon you’ll be able to personalize which topic you want to receive and read about.
Have a great week!
