Welcome to the first ever episode of Uncomfortable Conversations that has two versions of it,

a premium and a regular ad-supported version of it. This is the regular one. You know,

it's still fine. I'm not going to poo-poo my own product. This is a perfectly adequate,

perfectly serviceable episode of the show. Now, if you are a primo subscriber, or in fact, everyone who subscribes

and submits their email to my substack is currently a primo subscriber because I'm giving

everything away for free for two months. But if you've done that and you're hearing this,

then something's got horribly wrong and the fabric of the space time continuum has ruptured,

or we have just neglected to inform you properly about how to subscribe to the premium feed you should have received a welcome email

from substack regardless of whether or not you went for a paid option or just a free option there's no

credit cards initially or you have to do is just put in your email address.

And then you should have gotten a welcome email that has a link at the bottom to set up your own individual premium uncomfortable conversations feed, which is just yours for you alone.

Now, if that didn't happen, the workaround initially would be to go to uncomfortableconversations.

or substack.com slash listen and that way you'll be able to generate your own

premium podcast feed if you're logged into your substack. If that's not the case and you're just

here happily going about your life and you haven't bothered to sign up to the substack yet,

well, what the hell are you doing? You should be signed up to the substack yet, well, what the hell are you doing?

You should be signed up to the substack. It's not hard. All you do is put in your email and then

you're on the mailing list. It's not like we're going to spam you or sell the mailing list or

something like that. You don't need a credit card. We're not going to auto transfer you onto some

large monthly subscription that you can't get out of.

All that means is everything happens exactly the same,

except you get a lot more stuff for the next two months,
