The BBC used to have a long reads section like this and at some point stopped updating it. Finding this sub has made me so happy because I really missed it! Thank you for all you do x
Obviously not as engaging as a podcast, but I’ve started listening to dry, educational nonfiction books on audio to fill the long form void. If the book manages to hold my attention the whole way through, I buy the print version to reference later.
Yes kudos to the moderator and the community. I also follow r/indepthstories and the stories there often get limited if any comments making it feel like a ghost town.

Thank you. It's uplifting to read this because it often feels like moderation goes unnoticed. It takes many hours a day to keep spaces well curated.
If anyone wants to help, please message our mod team; we're looking for mods!

Agreed! I miss the longform podcast so much. Maybe we can draw in some AMAs...

this is one of the only subs I'll discuss politics on. idk if it's the lack of bots or if arguiing with well-read people is just way less stressful.
