Thanks so much for doing this. I'm an AVID gabfest listener, and have thoroughly enjoyed your substack since you moved on from CBS. I vacillate between being sad you no longer have that meaningfully enormous reach, and delighted that we get a more intimate (and personality-filled) version of your reporting and thoughts. Thanks for what you do. Thanks for your commitment to excellent communication. And thanks for being a good citizen, a fine human by all accounts, and so regularly beaming into my ears and eyes to share your perspective. Well done, good and faithful journalist.
I enjoy whatever you do and found the daily edition more manageable Thant the weekly, but definitely appreciate the time required. I will continue to follow you for your insights and humor. Thank you and I look forward to the next Navel Gazing season.
I’m 82 and was caring for infants and toddlers when I first heard of you during that memorable political earthquake called Watergate. (Why don’t you look as old as me??? ) Ever since then I have made the effort to find out what you were thinking of any current govt upheaval and always felt reassured that the country would survive it. This year you and the rest of us standing slightly on the left aren’t so sure of our survival. My faith in your visions of our nation’s future is shaken. My future here is gravely limited but those former infants and toddlers now have their own children and grandchildren with huge stakes in the future
Thank you for STW. Doing it daily seemed like a big and demanding stretch. Frequency matters much less than quality. So do what you feel comfortable with. You have a lot in your plate!
Understand daily too time consuming. Will we still be able to read you on substack as do not subscribe to Apple Podcasts?...altho good for you for getting traction there! O
Your explanation about the experiments makes, of course, perfect sense. I'm glad to have been along for that ride and look forward to what's next! No matter the form, if it's from you, I will value it. Have a happy weekend!
Please don’t drink so much tea or dance too many sambas that you are unable to continue your analysis of our political predicament and a way forward for my descendants and yours. Your intellect and vision is so valuable to so many but especially to me!!! Mary L Crockett
John, I’m a long time Slate Plus subscriber & already enjoyed your weekly visits into my ears. I don’t remember when I stopped watching the local & network news shows, but it has to be at least since 2016, & I forgot how nice it is listening to you suggest subjects to which I should devote some of my limited attention in a tone that doesn’t make me want to set my hair on fire.
John, whatever you want to write about and whatever form you want to write it in, I'm there. I appreciate your ongoing concern for your readers. Thank you so much for your insights and research.

No worries John, we will follow you whatever road you take us down. As long as you continue in sharing your thoughtful pursuit of excellent knowledge.
Thanks for bringing us along on the experiment. Looking forward to future writings whenever they appear.
John, my friends and I will read or listen to whatever you choose to write and on whatever platform you choose!
Happy Friday, John ~
Thank you for all that you are doing! Any little "nugget" of information from John Dickerson makes my day better.
I hope you and Anne have a fantastic weekend!
Safe travels!
Peace & Blessings ~

It’s been a grand experiment, much appreciated, and I’m sure what follows will be as good or better.
Thank you

At least, not at first!

We’ll miss STW! But looking forward to the next project.
Work life balance is a real thing!
