What is The Missive?

The Missive began as a monthly email newsletter that ran from 2014-2019. I’ve brought it back to life. Each email contains a personal essay and a collection of links to things I’ve been watching, reading, listening to, thinking about and doing. If you’re interested in music, tech, history and things that make you ponder your place in the world, you’ll probably like it.

Over the past 15 years I’ve been a writer, a musician, a zine maker, a podcaster, two different kinds of journalist and Extremely Online. Social media platforms and online publications rise and fall, but email lists are forever1.
