Hi Folks:We think we’ve figured out a way to make sure those who want to receive the audio version of the letters automatically can get them without spamming those who don’t want them.On Substack the default setting is that no one will automatically receive the AUDIO letters. So if you don’t want the audio version, you’re all set. You will still get the written letters and you can ignore the information below.If you DO want to receive the audio version automatically every day, you will need to go into your Settings page at Substack. (You will find a link to the Settings page by clicking on your subscriber name at the upper right hand corner of the Letters home page, and scrolling down to “Settings”). On the Settings page, scroll down to click on your subscription to Letters from an American and then scroll to “Manage your subscription.” There, you will see an on/off button next to “Receive email for new podcast episodes.” Switch the audio version ON. If you do that, you will continue to get the written letters AND you will get an ADDITIONAL EMAIL, the next day, with the audio file in it (like this one).Please bear with us if there are glitches. Remember, the audio versions are also available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and wherever you get your podcasts. They are getting good reviews, but listening has fallen way off since the early days. I’m going to give it at least a few more weeks to see if they pick up again— my guess is that they’re a good thing to have out there, but we’ll see. Thanks for being part of this experiment.Heather Get full access to Letters from an American at heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/subscribe
