You may be the Ashley and Wynonna of newsletters, but you are the Lizzie and Jane Bennett of Substack!

Oh hey, you guys, I loved the audio newsletter and yes, I listened to the end! I don't have kids, but life gets better every decade, in my experience so far, so don't listen to those people telling you it's the best time of your life when your kids are little.

I think if your only criticism of Archetypes is that you don’t think Meghan is funny, that’s a win! I don’t think she’s in any way striving to be funny or have casual conversations. I think she simply wants to be heard. These are serious topics taken with the gravity and tone they deserve. I understand many won’t see it that way or even take her seriously, but I appreciate her earnest approach. Her conversation with Constance Wu in particular struck me as particularly honest (but only because I haven’t listened to her episode with Paris Hilton yet, which I’m reading is very good). I’m here for it! And it’s ok if not everyone is with me. Also, I love her intro music, I Am Woman by Emmy Meli!

Love, love, love The Spread--your recommendations, analysis and voice, so much so that I don't need to hear your actual voices! It's enough for me to savor reading (almost) every section and having immediate access to the articles/podcast links. I'm a reader who has grown children. Instead of revisiting "the best years of my life," I'm bingeing SmartLess thanks to you. At 71, happily I'm getting those promised laughs.
