I'm Alan Bellows, founder of Damn Interesting, a publication featuring long-form essays and podcasts about science, history, and psychology. I launched the project as a labor of love in 2005, and since then we've published hundreds of articles, read and listened to by millions. We reject advertising of any kind, and we rely on the support of our audience to survive.

Damn Interesting is in peril in this shaky AI-addled economy, so I'm trying this experiment to try to keep the project alive.
