📢 NEW on Substack: Podcast Sponsorships
On Substack, podcasts like Split Zone Duo, The Fifth Column, and The Dwarkesh Podcast are building communities that extend beyond the podcast feed, and using paid subscriptions to support their work.
Now, we're building sponsorships as another way podcasters on Substack can support their ambitious work.
Today we're sharing a preview of that vision, and inviting podcasters to sign up for early access.

Foursquare was acquired last month. The outcome was disappointing. It's taken me a while to write this, but I think I'm finally done grieving it. Here are some thoughts on our final years, an effort to honor the team who helped build & maintain FSQ's legacy, and my attempt to finally get some closure. teendrama.substack.com/p/som…

If it isn’t already obvious that Substack is the best possible home for a podcast—monetization, distribution, community—then it will be very soon.
Now we start telling people.

I’ve had my arm twisted to join @Substack - do join me over at open.substack.com/pub/alexho… where I’ll talk more about life on the railways and adventures in transport.
Happy to hear any (polite and reasonable!) suggestions on topics too.
📢 NEW on Substack: Metered Paywalls
Sometimes the best way to encourage a free subscriber to go paid is to give them a taste of what they're missing.
Now, you can give your free Substack subscribers access to a set number of paid posts each month. You control how many paid posts free subscribers can access, and which posts are included.
It's one more way Substack makes it easier to turn your podcasting, writing, and video into an independent income.
White bread might seem like the most boring food on the British breakfast table. But behind the humble loaf is the story of “a productivity miracle” in the early 1960s that reshaped the UK’s food chain. @EdConwaySky shares the story from his latest book, Trade World: edconway.substack.com/p/the-…
✅ An ad-free community for your biggest fans
The most enduring podcasts are built on community. Substack Chat lets you bring your listeners into conversation, in multi-threaded conversations with rules defined by you.
You decide what's free to everybody, and what's paywalled exclusively for your paying subscribers.
Rather than piecing together a hosting platform, advertising marketplace, independent website, and community platform, podcasters can get the full package on Substack.
Reach more listeners, make more money, and help us shape what comes next. Request early access here: on.substack.com/p/introducin…
