As you likely know, The Writer’s Almanac has ended as a podcast and as a radio program. We thank our listeners for nearly 30 years of support — the 25 years that the show ran on public radio and the podcast version since 2018.

It is indeed the end of an era, and we are truly sorry about that. But here’s the good news: you will now be able to access Writer’s Almanac “anniversary editions” on Substack. 

These versions feature the historical highlights from the particular date years ago, and each will have a link to the audio of the poem for the day. Note: these will be presented as they were way back when — not updated, edited, or corrected.

So welcome to Substack and a new path to repeats of TWA highlights and daily poems. Enjoy — again.
