Ken Hill Podcast Series

I recently subscribed to these podcasts and find them helpful.
I have a few gift subscriptions if anyone is interested hit me up.
 
So glad I subscribe to these podcasts. I’ll listen to this one later today.

I'm interested in the topic, but I'm equally interested in not being forced to subscribe and download the Substack app.

EDIT: to clarify, this isn’t a dig at Ken. I completely understand why he and others use Substack.

Totally get it. From my perspective, I have a few choices:

- Write and share what I believe is relevant information for free.
- Write and share what I believe is relevant information for a fee.
- Don't do it all

My podcast series has over 3 million listens. I have made less than $.001 from each one. Not that I was doing them for money, I was doing them to broadcast a different perspective on what I think is industry misinformation for my little corner of the world. With over 3 million listens - someone is listening, so that compelled me to go deeper than just a podcast - enter Substack.

With Substack, I get a proven platform to place my stuff. I have the ability to write, do video or podcast, as well as be connected to other motorsports platforms. This costs me money, upfront. Initially, I started Substack and left it free. It worked. Feedback supported there was another level that readers wanted, deeper and more detailed information. Awesome and quite frankly, I wanted to write about it. It's good for me as well as the reader, I learn more. But again, that costs time and money. So yes, I charge $39 a year to subscribe. With what I pay my editor, trust me, I am not running to the bank.

(My last article on trailbraking was the culmination of decades of learning, plus 2 months to write it, not exactly a great return)

Which begs the question. Is it worth registering and downloading an app, plus paying $39 a year worth it for my information? I don't know, that up to you.
