FOR SUBSCRIBERS: in July, I’m going to start experimenting with a couple of things, the first being a occasional podcast, featuring some interviews and additional material.

After travel settles down, I’ll get back into my normal rhythm of posting once a week for everyone, and once for paid subscribers.
