Early Summer 2026
Hello!
We’re sliding toward the end of Season 11, and we hope you’ve enjoyed our discussions about Big Ideas. Our summer break will arrive just in time to give you an opportunity to pick up any episodes you missed! We’re looking forward to some down time to refuel and plan our next moves. If you’re wondering whether there will be a Season 12 … the answer is yes! No precise date yet for when regular episodes resume, but watch this space for updates and bonuses over the summer.

One more shout-out for our Substack Chat:
What’s our Substack chat? It’s a dedicated conversation space for paid subscribers—full of amazing ALSSIers—where we talk about everything. Our chat is available 24/7! We’d love to add you to the group—you can find info about subscribing here. (A paid subscription is also a great way to support the podcast!)
Two Fridays per month, we host a Live Chat on Zoom. We talk about episodes and/or other timely topics. These conversations are recorded for chat members to enjoy later if you’re unable to join us.
Questions?
Want the community, but can’t afford to subscribe?

Now … about that Live Event—
An Evening with At Last She Said It
Tuesday, July 21
Time: 7:00 - 9:00 pm
3301 E Louise Ave, Salt Lake City, UT
This time we’re planning something a little different from our previous events—C & S will do some of the talking, but mostly we want everyone to come prepared for an evening of cake and conversation! There’ll be plenty of time for catching up with old friends and making new ones (hint: we’ll be playing What Do You Say).
Watch for registration info to hit your inbox about 2 weeks from now.
And what about At Last She Read It?
Our summer book club meeting will be here before you know it! Attendees voted at the last meeting, and Lilith, by Nikki Marmery, is our next selection for July’s discussion.
From Goodreads: “Lilith is the story of the first woman, who was expelled from Paradise for disobedience. In this retelling of the Hebrew myth that justified and explained woman’s subjection to man, Lilith will have her revenge—however long it takes. In the Garden of Eden, at the beginning of time, an outrageous lie is born: that women are inferior.”
Whether or not you get a chance to read the book, we hope you’ll plan to join us for the conversation!

Many thanks!
We asked for donations, and you came through! No surprise—this community rocks!—but as always we’re humbled by the generous response. A thousand thanks for every form of support you provide the ALSSI project. We hope we return the favor by providing something you need, whether through the podcast, the voices of Say More, or the online conversations.
Happy Summer!
Warmly—or hotly, depending on where this finds you, ☀️
