(Sometimes, writing a Substack post feels like spinning the Big Wheel on The Price Is Right. You never know where its going to land!)
I’m still figuring out how this Substack thing works. But if you’re reading this, you’ve also been reading Switching Codes w/Eric Deggans, and for that I thank you. I’ve always tried to develop independent platforms where I can test drive ideas, hone my writing and trade concepts with folks who have the same passions that I do for pop culture, media, social issues, journalism and so much more.
So far, thanks to readers like you, I’ve been able to reach a growing and super smart audience. And because I’ve worked in non-profit media for decades, I don’t ask for payment to access this work unless you’re willing to donate it. So if you’ve done THAT, I thank you even more.

(And I would have gotten that interview with Scooby Doo, if it wasn’t for you meddling kids! LOL!)
All that said, I’m going to ask one more favor. Please recommend Switching Codes w/Eric Deggans to your friends and contacts to subscribe and read with us. If this were a paid publication, I could offer special benefits for folks who help in this way. If you have any ideas for cool things I COULD do for supporters that don’t include paywalling this site’s content, please let me know.
But for right now, all I can offer is my thanks. So THANK YOU, in advance, for spreading the word about a space that I hope will become more impactful as the posts accumulate and the subscriber list grows.
