Chris Cillizza - Invidious

Chris Cillizza

I am making DAILY videos on politics! I spent a decade at the Washington Post and another 5 years at CNN. But I've decided to go the independent creator route. I'm independent from the corporate conglomerates and the billionaire businessmen that own legacy media outlets. And I am independent from the two political parties. I call balls and strikes -- no matter what uniform the batter at the plate is wearing.

As I’ve built my career as an independent news and content creator, I’ve leaned primarily on two platforms: Substack and YouTube.

Each of these have grown in their own ways and at their own pace. As each one expanded, I offered paid subscriptions on both — allowing people more access to me in exchange for a monthly investment in what I am building.

Unfortunately, these two sites don’t talk well to each other! There’s no simple way to ensure that people who are paid subscribers on my Substack also get the benefits of my YouTube paid tier. And vice versa.

Which is annoying!

But thanks to ChatGPT — and a bunch of behind-the-scenes work — I now have a solution!

If you’re a member of the Diamond Club or the Press Club, you can now unlock a Substack subscription at no additional cost. I call it the “Cillizza Insider” membership!

Way back in the summer of 2024, I shot my friend Chuck Todd a text out of the blue — asking him if he would be willing to do a weekly chat with me through the election.

Chuck was still at NBC. I was still trying to get my arms around being an independent news creator.

I didn’t have any big plan or strategy behind my ask. All I knew was that I had always wanted to find a way to do something with Chuck — someone I have known for two-plus decades and have always admired for his brain and the way he navigated the often-fraught world of politics and media. (I have also always respected Chuck as a hard worker and a good human in a field where those two traits are not super common.)

Chuck agreed. We started making a weekly Monday episode that posted on my Substack and this YouTube channel. People (mostly) liked it! (Yes, I know Chuck and I talk over each other too much! We both get excited and have lots to say!) And, most importantly, we were having a good time doing it.

When the 2024 election ended, Chuck and I decided to keep going — blocking out time in our schedule every Monday to talk about politics, sports, parenting and whatever else came up.

During that time, Chuck left NBC and became an independent creator in his own right. He started a Substack. He re-launched his “Chuck Toddcast” podcast.

And through it all, we kept making time for our Monday chats. Because, well, we liked doing it. It was nice — for me at least — to have a fellow traveler on this independent journalism path. Chuck and I had been friendly for years but suddenly I was spending real time with him every week. Talking shop. Trading advice.

Again, we had no real plan. We just liked talking to each other! But as our initial plan for a short-term sprint through the 2024 election turned into a years-long weekly chat, people in the media business started to approach us about the possibility of turning this [waves hands around wildly] into something more formal.

Which brings me to today — when the Chris + Chuck show (we never had a name for it!) evolves into “Super Tuesdays,” a weekly podcast from iHeart.

Here’s what’s changing:

* Episodes will now post every Tuesday morning rather than on Monday afternoon

* “Super Tuesdays” will now be FREE for everyone

* You can get the pod on ALL podcast apps — Spotify, Apple and YouTube

And that’s IT. Everything else will be the same — just Chuck and I chopping it up on the world of politics. And being middle aged. And parenting, And, of course, offering our detailed thoughts on the Washington Nationals!

The first episode of “Super Tuesdays” is LIVE now. Chuck and I talked Donald Trump and July 4, the NATO summit, Red Card-gate, the Michigan Senate race and, of course, Graham Platner.

Please like, comment and, most importantly, SUBSCRIBE to “Super Tuesdays” on Spotify, Apple or YouTube.

Thanks, as always, for your support as I continue to grow into new and interesting spaces in my journey as an independent news creator!
