Original Ordinary Gentleman Erik Kain starts Substack, as does Freddie deBoer

(33)

Erik Kain has started his own Substack:

diabolical is a newsletter/blog hybrid about entertainment and culture with devilishly brilliant commentary by Erik Kain. It’s also a conversation! We’ll discuss movies, TV shows, music, video games, politics and art and whatever else we fancy.

Freddie deBoer has started his own Substack:

I’m Freddie deBoer, and if you’re reading this you likely already have an idea of whether you like me and my work or not. I’m a blogger who has always tried to remain at a distance from the cultures of the internet, media, and politics. I’d like to think I've mostly succeeded.

I am an overeducated Xennial who started a peculiar kind of media career when I launched a Blogspot blog at the public library in 2008. From there I built up a cult following and a reputation as something of an asshole. I switched to a Wordpress at my own URL in (I think) 2012, then flamed out in spectacular fashion in 2017. Now I’m trying paid blogging for the first time thanks to Substack reaching out. Along the way I started producing freelance pieces for various publications, eventually writing for some of the bigger newspapers and magazines in the world. You can check out some highlights here. In 2020 St. Martin’s Press put out my first book, The Cult of Smart. New York magazine named it one of the 10 best books of 2020.
