Helping Out The Dish For 2026
There are just a few days left if you want to subscribe at the current low price. Please do.
This year marks the 5th Anniversary of The Weekly Dish, if you can believe it. It’s been an incredible ride — and none of it would have happened without you. Many of you have been there for us since the beginning, and many more have joined these past five years, for which Chris and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We’re especially grateful given how routinely I piss you all off, on all sides. That says a lot about why Dish subscribers, in our view, are the coolest on the web.
I’m also going to save string on my faith memoir until we’re done with Trump, and devote my energies to you through 2028. I’ll be researching and sketching the book, but not at the expense of the Dish and Dishheads. We started this journey together in May 2016 and I feel an obligation to see it through with you to the end. It’s that simple. I hope you’ll keep me and Chris company.
Which reminds me. We haven’t changed our price for five-and-a-half years, even though inflation has eroded 25 percent of the value in the interim. So to keep up a bit, we’re raising the price for new subscribers — to $6 for a monthly plan and $60 for an annual. No current subscriber will be affected — so don’t worry.
But we’re not doing it till the New Year!
That gives all of you who keep telling us you mean to get around to subscribing a golden opportunity. Here’s your chance to lock in the low current price before it goes up. We really, really hope you do.
If you’re a longtime subscriber and have the means to help us keep up with inflation, we’d also be deeply grateful if you choose to increase your sub. It’s easy to do. Just click on the “Upgrade to founding” button at the very top-right of this page, and pick a price higher than $50 a year. Or, if you’re reading this page over email, click here to find the “Upgrade to founding” button. (If you don’t see the button, go here for quick instructions.) Upping the price only takes a few seconds, since your payment info is already loaded as an existing subscriber.
Here’s why we’re asking. The Dish is a special place in our view: I’m biased but the Dish is balanced. We’re not purely on one side or the other; we air dissents every week; we’re in no one’s pocket; we’re ad-free; and we’re devoid of the toxic excess of so much else online today. If you think that’s worth supporting in today’s toxic media climate, please help. These are not the greatest times for liberal and humane values, and even tougher for a sane and moderate conservatism. If you want to help bring brighter days for both, subscribe!
You’ve got till January 1 to lock in the current low price of $5 a month or $50 a year. So don’t wait or you’ll miss the window! And if you’re already subscribing, you can also help out by increasing your current price by becoming a Founding Member.
Happy New Year from me, Chris, and Truman. With love. And Dishness.
