Dear Gist Enthusiasts,
Let’s say you like staying informed. Let’s also say you like being the person at the dinner table who casually mentions the story about the Icelandic mayor who moonlights as a competitive whistler. You know—news that matters and news that delights. Now imagine both delivered daily, straight to your inbox, with that familiar Gist-y blend of context, curiosity, and a slight smirk.
Introducing: The Gist List.
It’s a brand-new daily newsletter featuring:
The context and data on the top headlines driving the day’s news
The quirky, the overlooked, and the “wait, what?” stories I can’t stop thinking about
A peek behind the Pesca curtain—a glimpse of stories I read in preparation for the daily show
A preview (and postview!) of topics we’ll be covering on The Gist podcast
Think of it as your pre-podcast primer or your post-podcast palate cleanser. Either way, it’s the perfect way to stay up to date without needing to doomscroll or decipher the latest euphemism for “the markets are nervous.”
The Gist List is smart. It’s quick. It’s slightly judgmental of lazy narratives. Just like you.
Hit subscribe (if you haven’t already), and keep an eye out for The Gist List—starting this week.
