Very cool! I’m super happy that this exists, and I’m excited by this first issue. On the constructive criticism side, I think this is too long for a newsletter. I think it’s unlikely that I fully read future editions, and if they’re all this long, I might unsubscribe at some point. So consider this one vote for trying to make the newsletter shorter :)
We’ve decided to shorten the Substack version by excluding the interview. So if you subscribe on Substack, the issue will be approximately 2.5k words in length. The EA Forum version will include the interview and will be approximately 4k words in length.
That seems like a positive adjustment from my perspective! I think the interviews are valuable content, so I’d still encourage you to add a link to the interview, with the name and topic of the person you interviewed. That way interested Substack readers will still see it.
One option is to publish the newsletter more often, rather than include less content. We haven’t considered that but it’s something we could think about more.

Thanks. Yes, that is exactly our plan.
+1. Fwiw, I was going to subscribe and then didn’t when I saw how long it was.
Thanks, this is useful feedback.
