The by-far-most requested premium service for paid subscribers turns out to be… regular Ask Me Anythings via Zoom. I’m going to make it happen.
During these AMAs, I’ll happily take off-the-record questions on any topic. No recording; candor guaranteed. My plan is to do roughly three events per month. AMAs will normally run 30-60 minutes, depending on demand.
To accommodate readers’ varied schedules and global locations, I’ll schedule the first three meetings at very different times and see what works.
The first three AMAs will be:
August 25, 4 PM ET
September 1, 9:30 AM ET
September 10, 11 PM ET
Here’s the permanent link for the AMA schedule.
Everything you’ve been getting free will remain free. (Gratis is not great, but it has its place!) To repeat: Any problems you’ve had with commenting on archived posts is purely a Substack glitch, and they’re still working on a fix.
Thanks to everyone who already paid to subscribe before any bonus features existed. I’m sincerely touched by your enthusiasm. If you’d like to take part in the first AMA, just turn on paid subscriptions by the morning of August 25 to receive the Zoom URL.
I’ll also include the Zoom link in the welcome email for premium subscribers.
P.S. While you can obviously ask during the Zoom meeting, you can also feel free to post AMA questions here in the comments below.
P.P.S. I’m also giving Founding Members a personal Zoom meeting and up to five free autographed books per year. Founding Members, please email me whenever and wherever you want to exercise these options and I’ll make it happen ASAP.
P.P.S. If you previously pledged support and haven’t been upgraded to paid (or founding!) please email me so I can sort things out. Especially for anyone who pledged at the founding level.

Might have to go premium for this... also love the image you chose.
Q: I can’t seem to find the definition of the word “asymptote” the way you use it. Would you please explain?
