Ryan Broderick is the creator of Garbage Day, “A newsletter about having fun online.” He’s among the most popular journalists-turned-newsletter-creators out there. It’s clear by the numbers (68k subscribers, 3k of whom pay for premium content), praise from other creators, and the nearly 200 press clippings on his About page.
In this episode we discuss:
- 📰 There’s (almost) no difference between journalists and creators
- 🛋️ Why you need a Simpsons couch gag in your newsletter
- 🫵 Every American is a journalist (if they want to be)
- 🚖 Creators are Uber drivers for content
