I would appreciate that added feature because it would allow me to listen while doing other things when needed. Thank you for being responsive - and all that you do!

I like to read. It's quiet and I can scan and skip. No offense.

I vote no because I understand material better when I read it. However, I know there are many people that find the opposite true. If you have the time it would be a nice addition for people that have that preference.

The only thing I'd ask is that if this does become a regular feature, you continue to make transcripts available for accessibility reasons. Thanks.

I love the idea of an audio version and I would be a more consistent consumer of your Substack! I realize it takes more time investment on your part but it would be great.

I listen more than I read. Wish they all did audio versions

I prefer to read, but sometimes need to listen in order to fit in all the things I'm doing. So, I'd definitely use this feature!

I listen to Cleve.com's Today in Ohio, having no alternative. BUT I find that unless I'm reading the transcript while listening, I tend to go off and delete emails, etc, and lose track of the spoken word. If I have something visual -- either an article/transcript OR a video -- I pay attention. My problem seems to be finding something to look at while I'm listening that doesn't detract from the content. :-) Perhaps I should take up crochet?

Appreciate the new feature, I'll use it. Since Trump inherited a good economy that he wants to hammer with 25% tariffs and mass deportations of a lot of agriculture workers...lets keep a watch on grocery prices. Because truth is under attack.

Audio doesn’t work if you’re hearing doesn’t work. Just saying….

I like the listening option! And I really appreciate the Grocery Index. People forget Trump's campaign promises/lies and the public needs to be reminded. Constantly. Thank you! Meidas Touch Network is also keeping Trump's lies front and center.

Great study to do and follow. Thanks. I often don't have time to sit and read. Listening while I do chores, walk, drive, etc. is a bonus and helps me absorb.

I prefer to read. I don't comprehend and retain audio in the same way. Likely it's related to my ADHD. Reading is my ADHD "hyper-focus" super power. Audio is for music only.

Thank you, David. I'm sorry I'm not in much a position to contribute financially, but I find your work AND your art uplifting in these dark times. Peace, Paul
