[What A Day is moving | Starting Tuesday, August 12, your daily dose of news, chaos, and coping will be delivered via a new platform: Substack.]([link removed])

[Due to technical gremlins, an earlier version of this email linked to the wrong page. In fact, our Substack page isn't even live yet — so there's nothing for you to do. We'll send the right link when we go live next week. Meanwhile — have a great weekend!]([link removed])

[Why Are We Doing This? (We Get It, Change Is Scary) | Substack is an online platform that makes it easy to publish newsletters, podcasts, videos, and more—and as it becomes a key space for independent journalism and progressive voices, we want to meet our audience where they are. | At a time when independent, progressive media is more important than ever, Substack allows us to build a stronger, more connected home for What A Day and everything Crooked stands for.]([link removed])

[Here’s what you need to know | You’ll still receive What A Day from [email protected], but now you’ll also have access to an easy-to-navigate hub where you can revisit past issues, catch up on other Crooked content, and stay connected—even if you miss the email.]([link removed])

[Here’s what you need to know: Tuesday’s newsletter might get sent to your spam or promotions tab. If you don’t see What A Day in your inbox by Tuesday night, check your spam folder, promotions tab, or wherever your email hides the good stuff. To avoid this in the future, add [email protected] to your contacts or mark us as “not spam.”]([link removed])

[The newsletter will look mostly the same. | Same news, same voice, same semi-unhinged commentary on the day’s events—but you might notice a few small design changes as we settle into the new setup.]([link removed])

[Why we’re making the switch: On Substack, What A Day becomes more than just an email. You’ll be able to: • Revisit past issues without digging through your inbox • Read, listen to, and watch other Crooked content • Upgrade to get paid subscription-only content & other perks, directly through the platform | Basically: same newsletter, easier to read, revisit, and share. We’ll see you—and your inbox—on Tuesday. — The WAD Team | P.S. Still have questions? We made this handy FAQ just for you.]([link removed])

[You’ve Got Questions, We’ve Got Answers | Do I need to sign up for Substack to keep getting What A Day? Nope. If you’re already subscribed, you don’t need to do anything. You’ll still receive What A Day in your inbox just like always—no new login required.]([link removed])

[Will the newsletter look different? | Not by much. The content and tone will stay the same (read: smart, sharp, slightly unhinged). You might notice a few small design tweaks thanks to the new platform.]([link removed])

[What’s different about reading it on Substack? On Substack, What A Day will have its own page, so you can: • Read current and past issues in one place • Catch up if you miss an email • Share links more easily • Discover other Crooked content]([link removed])

[What if I want to listen to What A Day instead? You can! The What A Day podcast will still be available on all your favorite podcast platforms—nothing changes there.]([link removed])

[Will the emails still come from the same address? Yes—they’ll still come from [email protected]. If you don’t see us in your inbox on Tuesday, check your spam or promotions folder and add us to your contacts.]([link removed])

[What if I accidentally unsubscribe? It happens. Just head to crooked.substack.com and re-enter your email to subscribe again. No judgment.]([link removed])

[What’s the benefit of having a Substack account? If you do create a free Substack account, you’ll be able to: • Bookmark past newsletters • Comment and interact • Get push notifications via the app • Upgrade for bonus content]([link removed])

[What’s the benefit of having a Substack account? If you do create a free Substack account, you’ll be able to:]([link removed])

[Is this just a way to make me pay? Absolutely not. What A Day remains free, just like always. But if you want to support our work, you can upgrade to become a paid subscriber. Paid subscribers get access to ad-free audio and video episodes of your favorite Crooked shows, plus exclusive bonus content. You can learn more about subscription benefits on each platform at crooked.com/friends. More importantly, your support helps fuel our mission as a progressive media company—something the world needs now more than ever.]([link removed])

[What if I’m already a Friend of the Pod? Amazing—and thank you! If you’re already a paid subscriber through Apple Podcasts, Supercast, or Youtube, you don’t need to switch anything. You’ll still get access to all your ad-free shows and exclusive content on the platform where you originally subscribed. While Substack offers a new way to become a paid subscriber, there’s no need to move your subscription. We’re just glad you’re here and grateful for your support.]([link removed])

[Will I still get What A Day at the same time each day? Yes. We’re keeping the same schedule—weekday evenings—so you can still wind down (or rage-scroll) with us.]([link removed])
