Let me cut right to the chase: The solo Remnant—or “Ruminant,” as some call it—is going behind a paywall. But only The Ruminant. The conversational Remnants—the ones that drop on Mondays and Wednesdays—aren’t changing, and will remain free. There will be the same mix of eggheadery, rank punditry, and tasteful nudity that there has always been.
But the Saturday Remnant—the one my wife thinks is an unhealthy sign of self-indulgence—is going to go behind the paywall, effective next week.
Look, I get it. I’m a podcast listener, too. I know the feeling of opening your app and seeing “subscribers only” on something you’ve been listening to for free for years, and going, “Well, screw that.” I’ve been that guy.
