It would rule if you’d forward this along to anyone who might dig our podcast. New episodes are out every Monday, plus Untethered minisodes on (most) Wednesdays, and we’re on all the podcast platforms like Apple Podcasts + Spotify + Castbox + Google Podcasts.
We have merch! Get yours here. We now have a hoodie! And a crewneck sweatshirt! Plus several tshirts, a unisex tank top, and a dad hat, each in a few colors. And a mug and a sticker.
If you have any feedback or ideas you want to hear us cover, or if you just want to say hi, you can reply to this email and it’ll come straight to us. We’re also on:
email + tiktok + youtube + twitter + instagram + facebook group + read with tether facebook group — next book is The Wager by David Grann. We’re meeting up online next Wednesday, February 28, around 7:30pm Eastern to talk about it.
