Just subscribed here because hiatus of ATO left me jonesing.
Was afraid I'd have to sit at my computer to listen but then I noticed the "listen in podcast app" feature, which worked surprisingly well -- I can listen on the podcast app on phone even though I'm not logged in to Substack on that device. Just had to open an email and click a few buttons. So now can listen while taking a walk, doing laundry etc. as usual.
