The whole conversation
Premium gets you the bonus segment from every episode, the last fifteen minutes or so after the mics usually go off, in an ad-free private feed.
$8a month
Renews every month at $8 until you cancel. Cancel online in two clicks and it stops at the end of the month.
What members get
The bonus segment
Every episode has one: Ruth Imani's pricing sheet line by line, Dana Okoro's numbers on a single loaf, the term sheet Noor Haddad turned down. About fifteen minutes a week.
No ads, in your own app
A private feed with every episode, minus the sponsor reads, in Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Pocket Casts or our web player. It arrives Monday night, a few hours early.
A live taping each month
Once a month Mara records a members' Q&A on video. You send the questions, and the best ones go to the next guest.
How the private feed works
- Join on this page. Pay by card, monthly or yearly.
- Check your email. We send a link that's yours alone, within a minute.
- Tap it on your phone. It opens your podcast app and subscribes. The bonus episodes appear next to the regular ones.
Spotify doesn't play private feeds, so members on Spotify use the web player or switch apps for the bonus. Each feed is personal. If one gets shared publicly, we reset it and email you the new link.

Why join here rather than inside Apple Podcasts? Apple keeps 30% of a subscription in its first year and 15% after that. Join on this page and about $7.70 of your $8 reaches the show, after card fees.
Plain terms
How do I cancel?
On your account page, in two clicks, any time. No call, no email to send. A monthly plan stops at the end of the month you've paid for.
Will I be reminded before I'm charged?
Yes. For yearly plans we email you 7 days before the renewal date with the amount and a cancel link. Every receipt has the same link.
Can I get a refund?
A yearly plan is fully refunded within 30 days of purchase or renewal. Monthly plans aren't refunded, but cancelling stops the next charge.
Do members still hear sponsors?
No. The private feed is the same episode with the sponsor reads cut. The listener deals still work if you want them.
What do you do with my email?
We send your feed link, receipts and the Thursday letter if you ask for it. We never give or sell it to sponsors.
Can I give Premium as a gift?
Yes. A gift year is $80 and arrives by email on the date you choose. It doesn't renew.
