Good morning, PV Guide readers! I’ve enjoyed delivering recommendations, reviews, and interviews to your inbox over the past two months, and now’s the time for the next step: PV Guide is going premium next week.
Subscribers from the beginning know this has always been the plan – since losing my job with Polygon in May, I’ve been looking to continue doing what I’m good at and enjoy, and I’m pleased that hundreds of you have been interested in and enjoying the newsletter.
What this means: Moving forward, some of my reviews, interviews, blogs, features, and special projects will be behind a paywall. The weekly weekend watchlist will remain 100% free, always. I am looking for sponsors for that feature, so if you or your business are interested, do reach out!
What you’re getting from subscribing: All of my interviews, recommendations, reviews, projects (like my annual Best of the Year series), a voice in what I cover, and a smug feeling of satisfaction from supporting independent media.
What you’re supporting: Algorithmic-free & actual human-made recommendations, my dream to continue doing this work, my goal to move off Substack to a different platform, and the possibility for bigger, cool projects.
Anyone who signs up for an annual subscription between July 8, 2025 to July 8, 2026 will be added to my founding supporters list on the About page. Exact price points and tiers will be announced next week.
Thank you for reading and supporting PV Guide!
