In this episode, we review each newsletter's sign-up page, their welcome email & onboarding, and one edition of their newsletters. While you *can* listen to this one, you'll get much more out of watching it on YouTube (see YT link in the show notes below).\nWhy newsletter roasts?\nWe're doing these roasts as a way to give back to our listeners—especially those who leave this podcast a rating & review—and to help every listener improve their newsletter by learning from the mistakes others have made.\nWant to get your newsletter roasted?
