Ghost From The Past

By Sean

Stories and other posts about filmmaking, memory, writing, and the creative process, published (at least) every other Sunday

I'm not sure how I found Sean - maybe because we both had 'Ghost' in the title of our Substacks - but I'm loving following his journey and exploration of memory and its vicissitudes - he's a great writer.

Experimental History

By Adam Mastroianni

1) Find what's true and make it useful. 2) Publish every other Tuesday. 3) Photo cred: my dad.

Adam Mastroianni is endlessly, crazily fascinating. If you're a scientist, an academic, a curious mind of any type, do yourself a favour and follow him.

hi, lauren deborah!

By lauren deborah

this is essentially my digital journal — where I do not pretend to be an expert on anything — but I do lean into the fact that I am a chronic oversharer. I *mostly* talk about my sexuality, sobriety and excessive celebrity crushes 🌈 🧡 ✨ 🐆

I love LD. She writes with such honesty about herself - relationships, identity, sexuality.

Murder, She Cooked

By Jenny Hammerton

Episode guides and companion recipes from the kitchen of Angela Lansbury and many of her Murder, She Wrote co-stars.

Never ceases to amaze me, the things in which people specialise - Jenny's a prime example. She has a huge collection of celebrities' favourite recipes - so if you want to have a Charlie's Angels or Murder, She Wrote dinner party, follow her!

The Abbey of Misrule

By Paul Kingsnorth

Do not be conformed to this world

I came to Kingsnorth through his incredible book on writing and creativity, 'Savage Gods.' He writes with huge wisdom and a commitment to tackling even the most divisive and difficult topics. His writing is the product of 'slow thinking,' and the reader who approaches it with the willingness to slow down, reflect and chew over the material will be rewarded.

Curious Minds

By Beth Collier

Curious stories from pop culture, business, and history

Beth is great, whether she's investigating the things I'd always vaguely wondered about myself or delving into a question I hadn't considered but which ends up being endlessly fascinating. Such fun.

By Sofia A Koutlaki

Linking ideas across language, literature, culture and experience
