Jacob Sutton's writing is effortlessly funny and smooth. No matter what he writes about, it comes out as smart, fascinating, and hilarious.

Both Are True

By Alex Dobrenko

Funny, deep, relatable stories from a dad to two, husband to one, friend to all (free for all) + BATCAVE (workshops, cowriting, "community") for paid subscribers.

If you know how to do the reactionary action commonly known as a "laugh", then this is the Substack for you. So so so so so so funny.

JoeBlogs

By Joe Posnanski

JoeBlogs is where I write about sports, memory, joy, and the strange, happy ways they all connect.

I picked up Joe Posnanski's book Baseball 100 once, and 3 months later I finished it. It wasn't because I read slow, it was because every time I neared the end, I started over. Posnanski's writing is perfect - smart, funny, and informative.
