Thank you All-Stars for your support and your questions! If you want to become an All-Star and submit questions for the mailbag episodes, follow this link and subscribe at any tier for early access to content and the ability to ask questions for the mailbags!

For these mailbag episodes, we want to feel the freedom to give experimental answers and test out ideas that may become future "lecture-style" videos. Because of this, we would especially like to hear your feedback! If you disagree, have anything to add, or want to pitch us to make a fuller treatment of a topic, please let us know! You can message us at [email protected].

These mailbag episodes will generally live on Subscribestar [early access] and on the podcast. If we want a topic to be covered on the YouTube channel, we will probably spend more time researching and writing a script for it to ensure clarity and precision. Even our more formal videos are always up for debate, but we want these mailbags to be even more freeform and experimental. Thanks for joining us!
