    Is Substack the Future of Journalism?
    May 13 2025
    Andrew chats with Substack co-founder Hamish McKenzie for a conversation on how Substack became one of the most consequential media platforms of the last decade.

Hamish also opens up about what it was like working at Tesla under Elon Musk, how Substack responded when Musk tried to buy the company (and later tried to "nuke" it), and where the platform goes from here (hint: it’s not just a text-based platform).
