Your Questions, My Replies

A new feature exclusively for our active supporters

Matt Goodwin’s Substack goes out to more than 18,000 subscribers in 133 countries. Become a paid supporter to access everything —the full archive, extended essays, unique posts, Q&A sessions, leave comments, join the debate, get discounts, advance notice about events, and the knowledge you’re supporting independent, contrarian writers who are making a difference.

We’ve been rolling out some new features lately —including regular video posts which have clocked up around 3 million views online, new graphics, a presence on YouTube, and a monthly opportunity for our more committed, paid supporters to ask me questions direct and access additional content like the video below.

I’ve always wanted this place to feel like a community, for me and for you —a place we can turn to for an alternative, different take to the madness unfolding around us! And it’s been great to watch and contribute to some of the debates in the comments.

This week, for the Q&A, I’ve picked out a few of your questions, including some which overlap. I hope you find my thoughts useful.

Each month, we’ll aim to pick different questions from different subscribers. If you have a burning question which I’ve not answered then do feel free me to e-mail me direct with the subject “Active supporter - question”. I might not reply immediately but as an active supporter I promise you I’ll get round to it.

Lastly, THANK YOU for your support - it’s supporting our growth, our reach, our influence, and our impact. Every time you see an improvement to the site, to the content, to the technology, to the graphics, it’s because of you.

Best wishes, Matt
