More investigative series, please. No need for interviews or chat shows unless it specifically benefits an element of your investigation. No AMA. Fundraise regularly for series: pitch three topics, subscribers vote, then produce the one that gets the most money. Engage subscribers with specific questions about news as consumer product vs contribution to democracy/politics. And... build on your record of fighting opacity and PR with research and honest investigation. Find organizers, academics, activists and professionals who depend on thoroughgoing journalism and work with them to demonstrate the desperately vital role of news reporting IRL. AND PLS PLS PLS DO NOT ENGAGE IN MERCH, ADS AND BRANDED CONTENT UNLESS REVENUE/PRODUCTION RATIO EXCEEDS 400%.
Could you please set up a Mastodon account for The Hatchet? There are Canadian servers available like mstdn.ca.
Also, a collaboration with It Could Happen Here or another Cool Zone Media podcast would be welcome and I'm certain would get you many subscribers.
The curated subjects you have covered have all been phenomenal. Could you also please consider coverage of harm reduction, homelessness, mutual aid, and labour issues in Ontario and Canada? Transit and transportation is also of interest, especially with Ford's Bill 212 and Metrolinx failures.
Thank you and keep up the great investigative journalism!
I have a format suggestion. I'm a huge fan of your usual documentary format, and I'm looking forward to learning more about Brookfield and the other upcoming topics you listed; but having a separate, more casual chat show is useful to reach new listeners (with less effort than your signature groundbreaking journalism). I doubt your audience would be interested in a purely vibes-based discussion, but there's an intermediate format that's been successful in podcasts like You're Wrong About. The host does research into a topic, and the guest shows up unprepared to the discussion. As the host tells the story, the guest gives their misconceptions about it (which is often the same as the audience has). That allows the host to debunk those misconceptions and maybe even trace where they came from. The guest doesn't need to be Arshy or Jordan, and in fact it's better to have a guest from another podcast with a small-to-medium audience so their audience learns about you

Big missed opportunity to call Jordan the Hatchette.
I absolutely love this
