I test out Substack's new live video feature a few hours after Substack announced that livestreaming is now available to any publisher with at least 10 subscribers (free or paid). Until recently, this feature was reserved for select, high-profile creators.

I also talk about how to go live from the Substack mobile app and why this is good news for creators. Plus, Angela Yuriko Smith of Authortunities joins me.
