All FREE subscribers have access to Dinner Table Digests and to any past content that has been pulled from behind what I’m calling Peter’s Support (Pay)Wall.

Substack also has the option of publishing smaller tidbits in a one-off manner, so there will likely be the occasional joke or two in the mix. If there is interest, I may also create video content.

What I do know is that I am grateful for your support, and your eyeballs; I look forward to producing interesting and engaging content in the future. I would be especially honoured if you would consider donating $5 per month so that I can continue to create more excellent work in the future. If you would like to donate $3.50 or $8/mth, you can do so at my Patreon page. And, of course, if you have any ideas about what you would like to see among the special content, I am all ears!
