WHO ARE YOU?
WHY HELLO, Rhetorical Device. My name is Knox McCoy and I’m a podcaster and author.
WHAT DOES “THE CULTURED SWINE” MEAN?
It means I like writing, thinking, and talking about culture but in a fun and sometimes sloppy way. None of this is going to be LOFTY or academic. Basically it’s a “Here for a good time, not an educational time” vibe.
It’s going to be lots of low culture manifestos and a high-minded approach to low-minded things.
WHAT’S THE DEAL HERE?
If you hang out here long enough, you’ll notice three recurring components:
Curation. I consume a ton of content every week so I love sharing my favorites in an effort to help people bypass the mediocre and bad.
Writing. Writing is something I’ve done and wanted to do more of since I was eight years old and this newsletter is the space I’ve chosen to devote all those efforts to. Whether it’s one-off pieces or the spine of future non-fiction stuff, all of my writing efforts are being consolidated here for the time being.
Podcasting. I do it for my job, so it probably makes sense that I’m going to do it here about a variety of topics, all under the banner of CULTURE.
WHAT DO I GET IF I SUBSCRIBE?
Subscribers will get monthly curational newsletters where I link to my favorite things I read, watched, and listened to from the previous month.

You will get:
Full access to recommendations, curations, and weekly essays.
Early access to writing projects

WHAT ARE THE WAYS I CAN SUPPORT?
You can do $7 a month, $75 a year, or you can do $150 a year if you want to be in the INNER inner circle.
ANYTHING ELSE?
