First official post!

Welcome to Mere Tradition

Good day, Ladies and Gentlemen.

This is my first “official” post on Mere Tradition. Of course, I have sent off a couple of posts before, but this is my first “real” post intended for this audience.

Rather than write a lengthy post about what this Substack is all about, I decided to record a quick podcast to explain what I am doing, and what things will look like for paid and unpaid subscribers.

Now, I understand that some will also want the information in a written format for quick viewing, so here are the Coles notes:

• Mere Tradition will act as a “hub” for all my work.

  • I have stuff in a lot of different places, so Mere Tradition will be where all that stuff comes together so you can keep up on my work, if that is your thing!

• There will be a decent amount of free content for unpaid subs, although I do encourage you to sign up!

• Paid subscribers will have access to the following goodies:

  • Early access to my podcasts (both video and audio), unless the content is something time-sensitive or “breaking” in which case it will go up quickly without a delay on my YouTube channel and to all major podcast platforms.

  • For now, two premium articles a month

  • The plan is to produce a premium long-form audio podcast with music, research, notes, etc., which is the goal over the next few months

  • Also, if you are someone who has considered supporting me in a “patron” sort of way, you can use this platform as a way to do that.

    • Substack is pro “free speech” (although I understand that unfettered free speech isn’t really a Catholic teaching, but you know what I mean) which means I won’t be “cancelled” like some people are on other funding platforms like Patreon.

Okay, that about sums it up, and I encourage you to listen to the audio recording for more information!

Cheers

Kennedy
