Welcome to The Browser

Welcome to The Browser! Every weekday you’ll get a newsletter recommending and summarising five outstanding articles, a podcast and a video; on Sundays you’ll get a special weekend edition called The Sunday Supplement featuring a performance, a poem, a puzzle, a cryptic crossword, and more; and on Saturdays you’ll get a “Best of the Week” roundup. Every single article, podcast and video is hand-chosen by our editors, Robert Cottrell and Caroline Crampton.

The Browser can be enjoyed as a curation service, helping you find articles and podcasts you wouldn’t have discovered otherwise, or as delightful reading in its own right: our capsules aim to distill the essence of each work into a single paragraph. While we certainly think every recommendation is a rewarding read or listen, we know it can be hard to find time to read even a small fraction of them: our aim is to create a daily letter that can surprise, delight and inform you about the world in its own right, even if you never click a single link.

Some useful features:

• Our fully-searchable archive is available at https://thebrowser.com/archive — search through thousands of previous recommendations to track down an old favourite or find what we’ve written on every topic imaginable.
• You can get all our podcast recommendations as a standalone feed directly in (most) podcast apps through ListenNotes, using the instructions here.
• Our publisher, Uri Bram, is always delighted to hear from readers — just email uri@thebrowser.com. No issue is too small, and anything that makes the Browser experience better for you is a delight. Please write anytime if you have thoughts, ideas, comments, or suggestions.

Thank you for joining the Browser — we couldn’t do it without you.

Some housekeeping...

If you can’t find the newsletter, check your spam folder. And please mark this address as ‘not spam.’ If the newsletter isn’t in your spam folder, either, you should look in the Promotions tab.

You can always see everything on the website.

You can update your account details (e.g. change your email address, turn off emails, etc) using the Account portal in the bottom right of every page (it looks like a little orange circle with a person in it). You can also open the menu in the top right and select 'My Account'.

Thanks so much again for subscribing. If you enjoy our work you can do us no greater honour than letting a few friends know about us. We couldn’t do this without you.
