Introducing: The Word of Kayse Newsletter!
Because I know you just can't get enough of me.
I have been so honored to grow with this community of freethinkers and free spirits over the past couple of months (and some of you have been tuning in for even longer!). The Kayse Melone Show officially launched its first podcast episode on my 33rd birthday, February 9, 2025. Since then, we have connected with so many thoughtful, brilliant, compassionate people across so many platforms. And it’s time to take the next step.
Starting TODAY (Easter Fucking Sunday - She is risen!), I am transitioning The Kayse Melone Show to a new format, and I wanted to take a second to explain that. You see, I’ve been dabbling with livestreaming about the topics you’ve known me to cover pretty consistently: deconstruction from Christianity, challenging institutions and ideologies, etc. And I’ve found that interacting with my audience in real-time is super impactful and generates a lot of great conversations.
Which is why The Kayse Melone Show is now going live as a daily broadcast! Every day at 7am CST, you and other community members can tune into either YouTube or Twitch to catch up on the headlines of the day, history lessons that are more relevant than ever, and general heresy that you know I can’t avoid. ;)
If 7am CST isn’t a great time for you to tune in, though, don’t worry. Each day’s segment will still be uploaded here in podcast format to Substack as well as YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Pocket Casts, and Overcast.
So, basically, The Kayse Melone Show BROADCAST will be the daily live show on YouTube and Twitch, and The Kayse Melone Show PODCAST will be the recorded segments available anytime.
What This Means For You
I can imagine you’re thinking that daily emails about uploaded podcast episodes sounds overwhelming to say the least - and I agree! Which is why the format of this newsletter is changing slightly, too. Instead of receiving alerts every time an episode is uploaded, you can relax and just wait for the weekly Sunday emails.
I’m really excited about this because my weekly email newsletter to you will now be reverting back to traditional written style content. Yay! With that in mind, I’m rebranding the newsletter itself (again, I know) to:
The Word of Kayse: a newsletter for freethinkers and free spirits.
This will appear as a separate section on The Kayse Melone Show website and will have more personal, engaging articles delivered right to your inbox. Expect to read about deconstruction from high-demand religion, secular spirituality, political commentary, historical context, and other topics related to the human experience.
(Plus, of course, the weekly round-up of all of the previous podcast episodes for you to enjoy. You’ll never be rid of me!)
You don’t have to do anything to participate in this transition, by the way. I’ll take care of everything.
Want More Engagement With My Work?
Don’t fret! I’ve got just the thing.
Because I don’t do anything by halves, I’m ALSO launching the Kayse & Friends Discord alongside the new broadcast to spend even more time with freethinkers and free spirits like you. Join the free channels to stay engaged and in the loop.
When you join, you’ll notice that many of the channels are locked/private - like the monthly book club, the theory/philosophy discussions, and the “ask-me-anything” channel. That’s because these are only available for paid YouTube or Twitch subscribers. Head to either of those platforms and sign up for your own exclusive access to even more of me (only $4.99/month!). I know, how exciting.
Whew! Okay, I think that about wraps it up for new things. Of course, all of this is subject to change at the drop of a hat, but I’m feeling pretty good about the direction we’re moving here. I hope you are, too.
Oh! One more thing. If you’re just dying to support my work here on a more material level, I’ve set up a donation link for those of you able to contribute. Anything, even just buying a coffee, is much appreciated.
You guys are why I’m here. Many days, it feels like you guys are why I’m even alive.
Thank you again for tuning into The Kayse Melone Show, in whatever way you have. I can’t wait to continue evolving right alongside you.
See you soon.
