This not the inaugural issue of The End. This is a tribute.

This is the inaugural issue (of a sort) of The End, the newsletter for fiction podcast fans who don’t like to wait. I say “of a sort” because this issue is really just a proof of concept. It’s designed to spark interest, get the pipeline flowing, and test out my chosen formatting. So yeah, mash that reply button and tell me what you think!

This particular newsletter has three main content sections:

1. A “features” section that highlights up to four shows. These need not be recently completed, serving as a way for me to highlight outstanding fiction podcasts regardless of when they were completed. There are some gems in the past I don’t want to ignore!
2. An “everything that’s newly complete” section. This is a text-based list that links out to the show’s website. My intent, assuming people actually start using the submission form, is to provide a complete dump of every fiction podcast that has been completed—at the season or series level—since the last issue was sent. An ambitious goal, I know.
3. A place for a sponsor. A straightforward ad for a network, an app, or something else relevant to fiction podcast fans. Letting people “buy” a featured listing sounds gross to me, but this seems pretty unobtrusive. (If you’re interested, let me know!)

Got it? Groovy. Let’s get to the meat so you can see how this puppy is going to look. Enjoy, and please send in feedback!
