Thank you for this! I listen to podcasts over my hearing aids when I do my morning walk, so this is perfect!

When I go to the Substack app and tap on HCR, I get both versions to choose from; the transcript like I get in my mail, and the audio version.

They both appear in a dated list and I can choose the version I want that day.

Easy peasy.

Keep the audio version! Your own voice adds immeasurably. Thank you HCR for these daily letters although sometimes they scare scare me to bits but always grateful for the historical perspective!

That was an insightful podcast - Thank you

Please keep the audio - Listening to your ‘Letters’ while driving in Western Australia is stimulating.

The Conservative Action Project (CAP) memo from August 17, 2023, is about U.S. House Republicans having an inquiry to impeach Biden after the August break. CAP is a program of the Council for National Policy which is funded with tax-exempt monies.

On January 20, 2022, the Heritage Foundation launched its new Oversight Project to investigate Biden and the Leftist Regime. The information uncovered was to be shared with federal, state, and local conservative politicians. Why have Democrats not asked the two lead investigators and Kevin Roberts who commented in the news release to testify under oath if they are the source of the witnesses and information Jim Jordan and James Comer refuse to disclose as all their "facts" are found to be untrue. Can Jordan and Comer stop that from occurring?

Are these actions by the CNP and the Heritage Foundation, a clear breaking of laws that govern what 501c3s can and cannot do? If so, will there be an investigation by the IRS if requested by U.S. Representatives or Senators?

Whatever happened about the Family Research Council having the IRS change its status to an "organization of churches." Forty U.S. Representatives asked the IRS to provide an answer for why this nonprofit that has been deemed a hate group by the Southern Poverty Legal Center? FRC's ministry "Watchmen on the Wall" a website for pastors is extremely political and partisan.

Your Letters from an American is essential daily material for me. I LOVE the audio version - I definitely hear the information a little differently - and appreciate all that you do. Many thanks.

I can’t seem to get the audio through the Substack app (followed the directions but got a message that I can’t change “Letters” settings in the app) and the only thing I find on Apple podcast is the 10 min talk about heading the audio version. Frustrating!

I could only turn on the podcast from Substack.com; didn’t seem to be possible from the app. I finally figured this out and turned on the audio.
