Spirit Matters

The Sunday Long Read
The best longform journalism.
Every Sunday.
Carefully curated by Don Van Natta Jr. of ESPN and Jacob Feldman of Sportico.
The goal of The Sunday Long Read newsletter is simple: To put the past week’s best journalism in your hands every Sunday morning—or, as a friend said, “to screw up my Sundays with far too much great stuff to read.” Did we mention it’s free?
“The Sunday Long Read is kind of like a dream social media feed—it’s impeccably curated, thoughtful, and introduces me to writers and publications that I don’t come across in my day-to-day reading.”
Mina Kimes
“That rare thing, a newsletter born of love, not marketing or, God forbid, branding.”
Air Mail
“Reading The Sunday Long Read is like working toward my PhD in life…. I feel so great about the future of journalism when I read these great pieces.“
Peter King
