I wrote about The Ringer/Spotify launching a series of Substacks, the lack of coordination and communication surrounding the strategy, and a failed odyssey of trying to get people involved to talk about it: defector.com/nobody-wants...

It appears that I am the only person on the internet who finds Nathan Fielder's whole deal absolutely insufferable. But y'all have fun with the weirdo Elizabeth Holmes thing.

Like Apple TV’s Small Prophets, these series mix the sublime and the everyday to powerful and moving effect. tinyurl.com/46eduxpa
