Will there be transcripts? I have a hearing loss so tend to shy away from podcasts but love it when there's a transcript I can read. And before people suggest automatic captions, those really aren't the same. Thanks!
Yes, there will be transcripts for every episode! And for your question below — nothing is going to change about this newsletter; this is just an expansion
There's a slight discrepancy between the amount quoted above for CS subscribers and the rate listed in the email link. Happy to pay the extra few $, but you probably want to update this post.
I *also* just caught this — it definitely should be $3/$30, so I'm going to figure out how to refund anyone who already paid the extra little bit. As you can tell there's a lot of moving pieces in trying to get this together on Substack and I'm so grateful for everyone's patience today!
Have had this issue too; tried unsubscribing and resubscribing and it's still listed as $5. Thank you for attending to this --must be a total pain! Will sit tight / patiently in the meantime and really looking forward to the new podcast. :)
Bless you for bearing with us (really it's just me, I'm the one whose mental math thought that 30% off would bring us down to $3, face palm). If you go back to Culture Study Promo email and click on it, I've modified the promo so that it should be correct.
Yes! If you go to the top right of Substack and click on your picture, select "Manage Subscription," and then scroll down to "Private podcast feed." Click "set up podcast" and you should be able to open it in your preferred app, or you can manually enter the RSS url. You can also listen to the bonus content right in the Substack app!
I had to put in "Culture Study Podcast" in my Apple search for Anne's podcast to show up. If you just put in "Culture Study" the only result was another podcast with same title.
re space for creative work. Because of caregiving responsibilities any sort of time and space for creative writing is impractical, but honestly even if I write five minutes at a time on the google docs app on my phone I’m so happy! Luckily this little hobby has managed to stay in the space of feeling lucky I can escape into my imagination, and has been a lifeline during a time of extreme stress. This is unlike me, as I tend to take hobbies way too seriously, creating stress about the hobby (which is counterproductive) so I’m hoping my brain has learned something useful!
Hi! I subscribe to your newsletter and I don’t seem to have the podcast promo email. I would love to listen to the extended cuts, any idea how to fix this problem?
Oh I'm so excited for this, and also having that bittersweet feeling as so many of my favorite newsletters and creators I pay monthly are creating extra new brackets that are behind paywalls. I totally understand- my costs are up, things are tighter than ever- but it also is starting to feel like the few people I'm able to support are all retreating higher and higher behind paywalls. Idk why but I thought I read somewhere if we pay for Culture Study we wouldn't have to pay for the podcast.
Like I said, i completely get it! Podcasts are expensive, I want the employees to be paid, the guests, AHP to make a living wage. And at the same time, every month I'm having to cut more and more things, and so many of my favorite creators are making extra tiers I can't afford. (Not that this is crazy expensive. It's just the latest/straw on the camel's back for me.)
All this to say, I love this community, and I'll probably pay for this bc I love good pods, and also my heart is getting really heavy about feeling like at some point I'm going to have to pick- like- 2 newsletters max. I just can't afford to do more. I hope we can figure out some way of doing Substack bundles or something, bc just individually it is getting so so much tighter.
And I am rlly excited to listen to the free preview! I hope this show is a smash hit. <3
The hard reality is that people are moving to this model because the ad model is unsustainable - I tried making a “free” ad-supported podcast (through Crooked) and even though it had a large audience it still wasn’t enough to sustain itself - because advertisers pay less and less. So what are the solutions? No pod or newsletter or whatever....or listener and reader supported. I’m glad I can still offer the free version (which, like the newsletter, is not truncated in any way and stands on its own) but without enough paid subscribers, the whole enterprise becomes unsustainable. I know there aren’t perfect solutions at this point, but we are trying to find a workable one.
for sure, I completely understand. and I am so glad the podcast is happening! Much better to do it listener supported than not to do it all. That's a great way of looking at it.

Amazing, thank you SO very much 🦻🏼
Or if not, will the newsletter continue? 😬
SO EXCITED FOR THIS!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!
I am not even a podcast person as a general rule, but I'm excited to support this new venture and your work!
Thank you Mimian!!
VERY excited for this!
UPDATE: It's fixed! Thank you!

Hmm. Still showing $5 for me, including with a cancel and then fresh click though that link. So sorry you are dealing with this headache!
email me at annehelenpetersen @ gmail.com and we'll figure it out together (aka I'll send you a direct link to it)
wooohoo!
i am so em-effing thrilled for this!
Is there an rss feed for the paid subscriber bonuses? So excited!
Yes! If you go to the top right of Substack and click on your picture, select "Manage Subscription," and then scroll down to "Private podcast feed."

Is the pod preview live now? I can't find it in either Overcast or Apple Podcasts.
It should be! When I search Apple it's here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/culture-study-podcast/id1718662839
Just popped up on Apple when I tried again, still not on Overcast (will try again there later today!)
Apparently Overcast scrapes from Apple so there might just be a delay!
I had to put in "Culture Study Podcast" in my Apple search for Anne's podcast to show up. If you just put in "Culture Study" the only result was another podcast with same title.
When viewing this page in a browser on my phone, the “more options” button includes Overcast specifically (but not in the Substack app)
I am not seeing it on Spotify except a preview and link to this page, via the Work Appropriate pod
It was finishing “processing” but should be up soon!
Same!
I just upgraded so I can listen to the pod episode about Taylor and Travis but I don't know how. Can someone help me?
No one panic, I figured it out 🫠
Hi! I emailed culturestudypod@gmail.com but got a bounceback - is that the correct email?
Oh bother, we tried to fix this across the site — it's culturestudypodcast@gmail.com (or you can always email me at annehelenpetersen@gmail.com). My apologies, finding and fixing now!

Hi! There should be a link in the latest episode post (search for “deal”). If you can’t find it email me at annehelenpetersen@gmail.com!
