There should ALWAYS be a transcript, too. I can read a lot faster than I can listen, and bet you can, too.

I think that ultimately Substack is going to prove to be for eager aspirants the publishing equivalent of the old bromide about the quest for stage stardom: "For every light on Broadway, there are a thousand broken hearts."

Hello Bobby.

I don't know how long I have been on here but it's been LONG. I was so excited to be here.

Every single thing in the USA turns into a 'money oriented' enterprise!

Welcome to people earning a living. Money is required for life. So people work.

No one has any right to the output of someone elseтАЩs efforts. Pay if you want, donтАЩt if you donтАЩt. But donтАЩt whine about people earning a dollar.

This is, after all, America, where we have capitalism.

Not whining at all. In fact, I can't believe how much content we get on Racket News. But I just thought I would be able to click onto hear talked about what the headline said. Nobody's fault. But, poor presentation.

I apologize. I'm new to helping and didn't realize this alert would cause that issue. It's a really good interview and I'll see what I can do.--K

As usual people don' read properly.

How does one KNOW what a new substack is like IF you can't read it without paying!

If someone told me they KNEW I'd like James Patterson's books, I don't feel like I need to go to Barnes & Noble and read an entire book to decide if I want to buy it or others. Sometimes I take someone's advice.

And some people don' spell properly.

I am not talking about reading an 'entire book!'

I am talking about substack posters giving people ONE free post!

Of course you go AWOL
