Last Call and Save the ‘Speakeasy’ Date!
Just a couple more hours for our half-off special + info for our next Speakeasy
Please take advantage of our best price ever for just a couple more hours — half off the annual membership for the first year.
If you miss it, don’t worry. I extended the 25% savings as well. We are growing rapidly, and it’s a very exciting time to be a part of a transition in media — we are forming a community of trusted voices here at Substack and your dollars are supporting an alternative to the corporate media system, which continues to profoundly fail those they are meant to serve.
Save the Date!
Our next ‘Speakeasy’ zoom salon guest on Sunday, July 16, 4 pm PT is Dr. Michael MacKay, and I am deeply grateful.
MacKay has been exposing Russia’s invasion of Ukraine for more than nine years, and those who read these pages, are already familiar with his insights. He has been a frequent guest on RadPod — here is our latest interview with him:
MacKay is a Canadian academic, who received his PhD in political philosophy from the London School of Economics and worked as a lecturer in Ukraine, where he was also an election observer. MacKay is one of the reasons I won’t leave Twitter — I met him in 2019, and his work is a lifeline — he cuts through Russian disinformation with piercing facts. I encourage you to follow him at “mhmck” on both Twitter and Mastodon. Like our Speakeasy guest Monique Camarra, MacKay breaks news daily about the war and is a vital source of truth during these days of grave deception.
This is a terrific opportunity to ask him questions about Ukraine and what we as a community can do to help the people of Ukraine.
Here are three articles highlighting his valuable insights:
Look for the registration link on or before Saturday.
