I Might Be Wrong is adding audio! But dropping soccer. But staying free!

What a time to be alive

Hello! First, I’d like to say a sincere “thank you” to all of you who have read these columns, passed them along, and even shelled out for a paid subscription even though a paid subscription currently doesn’t get you diddly shit. When I started this thing, I didn’t know if it would establish itself as a thing, but this thing is now a thing.

And the thing is evolving! Extensive market research has revealed that there is something called a “pods-cast”, and apparently everyone who starts one gets rich. So, starting now, audio versions of recent columns will arrive on Wednesdays (usually), and I’m also releasing a few today as kind of a really-pathetic grand unveiling.

Here they are! They’re on YouTube, too! Please share with your illiterate friends!

The audio version includes the occasional riff on newsworthy things and the absolute hottest in copyright-expired intro music. I think it makes good put-it-on-while-cleaning-the-bathroom fodder. I plan to eventually add interviews and other stuff, but one thing at a time.

You have been signed up to receive audio against your will. If you don’t want to receive audio, go to I Might Be Wrong and unsubscribe from the “I Might Be Wrong audio” subsection. You’ll still get all the written stuff.

The other change I’m making is that, unfortunately, I’m dropping soccer. I’m sorry, soccer fans: The market has spoken. I’ve really enjoyed covering the Burgeoning Era of American Soccer Dominance — which does include far more losses to Panama than I anticipated — but at this point, my political audience is much bigger than my soccer audience. I hope you’ll stick around, but regardless, I’ll still be watching all the games, and maybe sometimes I’ll tweet out player ratings so that you can call me a moron for old-time’s sake.

Finally, I Might Be Wrong is staying 100 percent free for…I dunno, a while longer. I’ll monetize eventually, but I’m not there yet. In the meantime, I really appreciate you passing along the articles and spreading the word in other ways — that, in a way, is “payment”. And, of course, actual payment is really payment, so thank you again to those of you signed up for a paid subscription.

That’s it!
