It strongly depends on the topics they talk about. I think history and issues of logistics could be interesting.

Just subscribed. Hoping for all the juicy mail details in the coming weeks.

Content that isn't trying to entertain me specifically? How dare!

In seriousness it's probably being released as a way to speak to USPS union leaders, logistics industry wonks, and others for whom it would be a benefit to get general information out in a way that isn't a deeply boring email.

If you were following USPS news during the 2020 election, you know that the last postmaster was a nightmare bastard who was instrumental in weakening US democracy.

Yeah Louis DeJoy was an absolute fucknut

I was deeply aggreived that Biden didn't oust him instantly

Maybe if life generally was mundane enough to match the idea of the premise. Like if USPS funding wasn't an issue, the sort of timeline where junk mail was mostly solved and letter-writing was more commonplace.

NPR already exists for this niche but suffers the same sort of issue, and often is depressing when they're talking about current events.

Host: ok so on this episode of mailin' it, we're going to go over all the ways we innovated fucking up your packages, right after I introduce our sponsor, Blue Chew.

I assume David Steiner asked to have his own podcast.
