Fwiw as a mostly passive reader who doesn't comment all that often, I wanted to drop in to say I'd very much miss the newsletter if it were to go away. I read every edition, and it's always nice getting that push notification telling me there is a new one.
While I'm here and you are spitballing crazy ideas for the future though... how about a Baumann/Jake Mintz crossover pod that covers both baseball and cycling in equal measure : ) It's quite niche and I might be your sole listener, but I'd tune in for that!
(I'm joking, of course, but c'mon. It would be cool. You know it would be.)
Firstly, I'll echo the previous comments about the newsletter. Secondly, as a non-American, I had no idea who Jake Mintz was until I googled him. But I'm pretty sure there's an audience for baseball/cycling crossover that isn't just Patrick Broe fawning about Nolan McLean and Jonah Tong.
Finally, the UCI statement is the coward's way out. Sport and politics can never be effectively separated - you are deluded if you believe otherwise. There are more than enough examples currently in play. But it really shouldn't be hard for an organisation to condemn the ongoing actions of a government conducting genocide whilst maintaining a position of support and safeguarding for riders and team staff who just want to carry on doing their jobs
You should check out the episode Jake and Jordan did with Benji Niessen a while back. Benji doesn't really know baseball, and TL;DR they made him watch a game and went through all his reactions. Hilarious.
I really like the newsletter and am grateful to read a piece on cycling that takes account of the real world and sees sport for what it is and the organisations who promote it for what they are. This stage was neutralised to prevent solidarity with Palestine dominating the finish. Agree totally with every word and can only say thank you for letting me know that I’m not alone . PS Great piece of writing.
I really enjoy this and wish I could say that I’d keep up with it on another platform but I know I won’t. I’m wistfully wishing for the old days of G-Reader (or the old reader) and just relying on RSS.
INRNG, RKP, and all the New England CX blogs were my home 15 years ago.
Maybe I can find a way to get newsletters on an rss feed, but sadly I’ll have to enjoy the cycling non-sequitors on EW.

there are, if not dozens of us, at least two of us! (to be clear I'm talking about the audience for the mintz crossover)
