Hey, Smarter News. I've got some exciting updates to share with you about our Monday Scoop broadcast, and I wanted to just take a few minutes of your time to fill you in. First of all, thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Without you, Smarter News is not a reality. And whether you've been with us since the beginning or you just found us, your support really means the world to us. We're always looking for ways to serve you better and take up less of your time while

giving you more high quality information. And that's why we're making some changes to our

scoop broadcast that I think you'll really love. We usually publish our scoop broadcast publicly.

This is a longer broadcast than our other ones after our private live Monday interactive broadcast

We're keeping scoop exclusive to our insiders, and I hope you'll consider joining us there.

Our insiders are more than just supporters of smarter news.

We consider them to really be part of our editorial team.

We say becoming an insider is like joining our newsroom

because you help shape the stories we cover. You ask questions. You create a space that encourages

curiosity. And we have people from all over the world with all different perspectives as part of

this community. I really believe it only exists here. Our exclusive Monday broadcasts are just one way that Smarter News is looking to

return news to a service again. And here's really the interesting part. You know, there's all sorts

of different subscription models. We just decided to price this as a cup of coffee. It's like buying

smarter news, a cup of coffee once a month. It's $4.99 a month to become an insider. You get direct

access each week to the news you need in an environment that's really thoughtful and engaging

and actually fun. Members of our community get to know each other. And it's really, it's a unique

way to both deliver and receive the news. Don't worry, though, if you love listening to our

Monday Scoop podcast episodes, we're not leaving you hanging. Our new quick hit episodes have been a huge success, and you can still

count on those Tuesday through Friday for your quick concise news updates in 10 minutes or less.

We really are enjoying those, too, and we appreciate your feedback on that. So if you want to
