YES— it’s been awhile since our last blog entry.
Here’s why: Donna, as you may know, has a National Post weekend column; it often reflects the intent of Beyond Polarity — amplifying voices and ideas not typically featured in legacy media. Donna’s inquisitive essays are read across the country. That’s the good news.
We’re thinking of making a podcast. An ongoing series tentatively titled TWO PEOPLE TALKING. There’s so much more to tell, and that’s where you come in…
Yes, you.
Do you have time in your day to listen to stories — under-reported stories — that legacy & print media can’t handle? And, if so, will you subscribe to a digital stream (with a monthly fee of no less than five bucks)? It’s okay to say know. Your response will help us make a decision whether it’s wise to go ahead in a very crowded podcast space.
Why five bucks? With 100 subscribers, it’s the minimum cost to professionally produce & distribute an audio podcast with enriched content on a Substack website.
What’s the ‘content’ all about? That’s a question you can answer, as well. What do you need to hear that you’re not hearing? What about your friends? What do they talk about that we should investigate further? We’ve been prescient with Beyond Polarity, speaking to the overlooked stories in the news cycle. And we’ve been forthright in our reportage, sometimes drawing a circle around the unknown-unknowns to get a better sense of what’s missing.
You can help us understand what our next step should be by making a comment.
Thanks, in advance!
