Members fund the work, so the only thing we sell is the next story.
Most of what we read online is either too long to finish or too short to trust. We wanted something in between: a story you can read over a coffee, written by someone who did the homework.
So we set ourselves one rule. Every weekday, one story, on anything people are curious about, from the price of rent to the sound of a frozen lake. Each one has to answer a single question clearly, with sources you can check.
Two years later the rule still holds. The team is still eight writers and two editors, and the inbox is still read by a person.
Writers
Eight writers, eight beats
