Thank you for this formatting “experiment.” Somehow, I feel less overwhelm as I can focus in on what is most relevant to my work and interests.

I enjoy your writing. I also like “just the facts and stats” on occasion. The source paragraph link is very helpful. Your efforts to find the rhythm that works

for most of your readers is admirable. John Dickerson’s voice reading a Dickerson essay is a luxury when time allows. Thank you for all your efforts.

We just like it all, John. *thumbs up*

Love this! I really enjoy listening to the podcast, but it's great to have this concise wrap up when the week gets away from me and I miss something.

I like this format so much better. Maybe start it with the beginning of the week at the top? Thank you!

Hah! I prefer it as a way to sum up/wrap up the week.

Agree on the chronological order. And if it isn't too time-consuming this is a nice backup. Enjoying the daily stacks.

If John's intention is to be more efficient we aren't helping as we just say "yes, please" to everything he offers...and we do and we will. We're greedy that way.

I like the summary at weekend with sources, if interested.

❤️ Stack the Facts!

I like this; see the headlines that happened each day and then click on the link if you want to dive in further. Thanks!

Impressive news summary. Latest listed first. Excellent. I appreciate the effort that went into this useful, succinct, format. Thank you all. John Ellis and you now head my First To Read list.

Awesome, your story pieces are priceless. But so are the source tags.

Still with the exploding fish? Otherwise great.

I love this! Personally, I would like it in chronological order rather than reverse-chronological—I generally listen rather than read, and I think chronological order will make the facts stick in my brain better—but either way it’s great.

Mary Lee Kopen's avatar

Yes, chronological order would be my preference too. Less confusing to this failing hard drive!

Maybe the weekly summaries could be called “Facts from Stacks”.

So here I am reading this on Monday after it was posted last Friday- that is how life is sometimes- What a great quick review of last week's crazy and a great source if I want to go back and do some further reading on a topic...really appreciate it all....
