Don't do this to us! Your paying subscribers shouldn't have to see half of the episode first and then get the missing pieces. Please release a full episode for substack only first and then do your free/short version later.
Got to emphasize this again, y’all are doing the whole release of episodes backwards! Release the full episode HERE FIRST! I’m happy to pay for it, I really value it, but I hate the new procedure and getting chopped up bits of show days apart.
Is the paid version one long version? On video? Is the paid version video at all? I don’t really want to pay to watch useful idiots in random halves every week - please just have one long, complete episode for subscribers.
I figured you all quit Rolling Stone so that you could move the podcast over to Substack and get paid more. Follow the money. Seems pretty straightforward. Greed.
Also, I like listening to this podcast to hear your takes on the news and listen to interesting guests. I’ve already put down money for Matt’s content. But I find this extended, toungue in cheek banter about your employment situation to be insufferable. Just my opinion.
Two days and still no Substack only version? Guys, please... If it is a matter of production capacity give the stuff to me and I cut it in 24h. Both versions. And the audio stuff just as an extra export as well. C'mon guys! No shenenigans anymore...
Hi guys, I enjoy your podcast very much (which is why I subscribed and am happy to send money your way!) But definitely agree with the general confusion/mild agitation present here regarding the manner episodes are being posted. I was looking forward to hearing more, and especially the four food groups, so it's a bit of a bummer to not find them here!
Anyway, still love your show very much and hopefully you take on-board the feedback and bounce back like a plump Yemini child!
Ugh, this new format is terribly confusing. Also: I'm a Taibbi subscriber but I'm guessing that I need to be a UI subscriber in order to get full episodes? I make less than $15/hour, so I'll have to choose which subscription is more important to me. (And, no, I don't waste money on Netflix and such so please don't tell me I can afford another subscription!)
Signed up and paid for the full show -- not confusing teasers -- Wanted to hear Noam Chomsky, the lead attraction indicated in the subscriber mail, stop wasting my time, creating disappointment and resentment for unfulfilled promises seen as bait and switch.
^what everyone else is saying. It's not that hard: 1.) Intro and howdy do 2.) Four food groups 3) brief pre-guest misc. editorial 4) guest interview pt 1 (free) 5.) Guest interview pt 2 (premium).
Stick with the winning formula! And NO "reaction vids" watching ppl watching you, making half the show about your own petty dramas.
As much as I like Gandalf Chomsky, his take that AOC will help Progressives in any such fashion shows me just how much this guy's cheese has slid from his unsalted cracker.
Matt, I am a committed super-fan and a subscriber, but I am also tiring of the tongue in cheek banter about your exit from RS. It is interesting in the context of your excellent MSM censorship and woke editorial room reporting, and a little transparent revenge might be fun to witness, otherwise it's just a distraction. Name some names, kick some asses out into the sunlight, as you do so well on other issues, and let's move on. More constructively, I am reading Lasch, but I am blown away by Ernest Becker's "The Denial of Death," (1974 Pulitzer winner) and the related 2005 documentary "Flight from Death..." by Patrick Shen. These mine Terror Management Theory and Mortality Salience Theory in attempting to better understand how humans and their cultures interact (too often poorly, especially today in so many ways). If you are unfamiliar, give them a go. You'll love them. BE

I stopped reading Rolling Stone around 25 years ago.

Zac and Gavin from the Vanguard podcast have been cranking out consistent, quality content for a while now.
I hate when I throw a kid on the ground and they don’t bounce 😓
Already heard the whole thing, great job! Waiting on the Seymour Hersh Episode.

- w much love and all due respect :)

I love the 4 food groups, when do you show that? I agree with everyone who wants the show to be complete.
