Summer ALSSI News
June/July2026
Hello Summer Vacation!
We did it! Season 11 is done! Our season of ‘Big Ideas’ and the ‘What Do You Say?’ episodes have been boxed up and packed away. Our summer break has started but already we’ve been texting each other all the projects we’ve been up to—painting, organizing, and family events. So I guess we’re on podcast break, but not life break. That train always seems to be flying full speed ahead.
We will be back in a couple months, but here are a few ways to still connect with us during the summer—
Upcoming:
July ? - Ep. 269 - July Bonus
Jul.10 - Friday Live Chat | 10:00 Mtn (canceled)
Jul.16 - ALSRI Book Club, 7:00 pm Mtn
Jul. 21 - ALSSI Live Event, Salt Lake City 🥳
Aug ? - Ep.270 - August Bonus
“It’s the audacity to face the demands of this world and proclaim,
‘We will not be owned.’”
—Cole Arthur Riley
We won’t be having any Friday Chats on Zoom for July, but we will still be around for our robust chat room on the Substack app. To avoid trolls, we keep it behind a paywall, but please, shoot us an email if you’d like access but can’t swing a paid subscription right now. Zero questions. Community is everything!
“We don’t need missionaries, we need permission-aries.”

We’re going to pack in a bit of fun in just two hours. Both of us will speak, then we will all get to play ‘What do You Say?’ And of course, we will have cake and some merch. All are welcome—guys, gals, and non-binary pals!
Come to our virtual book club!
Who doesn’t love good fiction in the summer? Our summer book club meeting will be here in a matter of weeks. Attendees voted at the last meeting, and Lilith, by Nikki Marmery, is our next selection for July’s discussion.
Whether or not you get a chance to read the book, we hope you’ll plan to join us for the conversation!

Happy Summer!
