NEWSLETTER
Sign up to laugh and learn
I'm a prolific content creator and since December 2021 have written a cult favorite email newsletter utilizing a variety of different platforms (e.g., Medium, Substack) and a number of different names (e.g., Amran Gowani's Field Research).
My expansive portfolio features a mélange of short-form satire, humorous essays, flash fiction, poetry, parenting riffs, media recommendations, and more. All told, over 175 unique pieces reside within the bowels of this website!
Pro tip: Via the search icon on my landing page, you can peruse the entire collection using site Tags such as "humor," "satire," "parenting," "recommendations," etc.
While my so-called content strategy has evolved over time, I have consistently covered contemporary issues with a humorous and satirical bent. Whatever the name or platform, my newsletter – now lovingly titled Unsound Methods – is a place where you can laugh (or cry, or rage) and learn something new in the process.
What You Get for Signing Up
Roughly once per week I publish a bite-size issue designed for reading on a mobile device.
Formats include, but are not limited to, the following:
- News Roundup: I serve up five informative and/or absurd news stories from the worlds of Big Business, Corporate America, and Wall Street with a vicious side of one-liners.
- Jargon Junction: These didactic yet hilarious guides decipher the dark arts of neoliberalism.
- Recommendation: I analyze and review books, movies, and related media and recommend works which deserve your precious time and attention.
- Poetry: My invariably depressing poems document the death of our planet and the decline of our empire.
- Flash Fiction: These pieces of short-form madness are inspired by reader-submitted prompts. You choose my adventure!
- Humor & Satire: I specialize in producing sketch-like comedy and razor-sharp satire so nightmarishly funny no respectable outlet will touch me.
On a sporadic basis, I also provide updates on my path to publication and share links to recent media and publicity events (e.g., newsletter interviews and podcast episodes).
How to Support the Newsletter and My Authorial Endeavors
My newsletter is free, but I do ask for one big favor in return: Pre-order a copy of my hella fun novel Leverage!
Leverage is a propulsive, darkly hilarious, and grimly topical takedown of Wall Street and unrestrained casino capitalism. Said kickass novel can be procured at these fine (or not-so-fine) retailers:
Thanks in advance for your support – and happy reading!
