Aaron, thanks for all you're doing, you're filling a unique and valuable niche. Looking at the survey results, I notice you have a solid contingent from academia, but not that many students, which was surprising to me, since the survey shows you appeal to younger generations. That might be a neglected area of opportunity.

Podcasts are a really great medium for longer-form discourse, I get a great deal out of them, including yours, so I hope you will keep doing them. I suspect that the flat numbers are simply from the 'market' being saturated with so many new entrants.
In line with what many said in the survey, I have to say my favorite newsletter was the one on owned space, partly because the backstory on Doug Wilson's dad and the original strategy that went into choosing Moscow, Idaho was really interesting. But mainly it was because the bigger issue is really so central to what's happening across our culture: we're all getting turned into sharecroppers on some big, secular platform, certainly in cyberspace, but increasingly in the physical world, too.
Many are intuitively fighting back against that by returning to rural life, but that's not really a strategy for culturally thriving. So I agree with the others who want to hear about more examples of conservatives, and especially Christian conservatives, building broader communities. And I think your expertise on cities might help with that.
