$5/moSussudio - MemberThe core Sami Shah membership.News Weakly remains free and ad-free. Your membership helps keep it that way—and gives you access to the writing, research and unfinished business surrounding the finished work.You’ll receive Behind News Weakly each week, plus columns, essays, fiction, works in progress, recommendations, archive material, polls and discussions.
$10/moA Groovy Kind of Love - SustainerEverything in Sussudio, for people who want to contribute a little more toward keeping News Weakly independent and supporting the rest of my writing and podcast work.This tier is deliberately not twice as much material demanding twice as much of your attention. It provides the complete core membership, advance news about upcoming work and an invitation to a quarterly online group conversation with me.
$30/moDon't Lose My Number - ProducerThe closest-supporter tier, limited to a small group of people who want to make a substantial contribution to the work.You receive everything in the other tiers, an optional producer acknowledgement, and one private 30-minute online conversation with me each year. We can talk about writing, comedy, podcasting, journalism, books—or why you have made the financially questionable decision to support me at this level.
