What are the different ways I can subscribe? What are the benefits?

The Bulwark, the largest pro-democracy bundle on Substack, is an online publication founded in 2018 that promotes democracy, constitutional norms, and civil discourse. We publish reporting and analysis on American politics and culture in the form of articles, newsletters, short form videos and full length shows.

You can subscribe on Substack, YouTube, or Apple Podcasts. The options are distinct.

Substack is our primary subscription and where TheBulwark.com is hosted. Substack is an online platform that enables writers, podcasters, and creators to publish content and send newsletters directly to subscribers' inboxes via a subscription.

Bulwark+ memberships on Substack include access to every newsletter we publish, ad-free and member-only shows, community commenting on newsletters and shows, access to livestreams and live chat threads via the Substack app. It also includes access to the new Bulwark app, available on both Google Play and the Apple App store. (It does not provide access on YouTube – but every show published to YouTube is also published to Substack.) Members also get early access to buy tickets to Bulwark Live shows.

A subscription to Bulwark+ on Substack typically costs:

  • $12/month or
  • $100/year

For those who wish to show extra support, we have two founding membership tiers: Founders ($300 a year) and Navigators ($1,200 a year). Each comes with free subscriptions to give away, access to The Founder’s Lounge – a virtual live chat for members to connect – and semi-annual virtual Founding Members’ Town Hall.

We frequently offer free trials and, rarely, discounts. Subscriptions automatically renew unless you cancel via your Account Management Page.

YouTube offers access to our videos, ad-free, on YouTube. It is $9.99 a month. It does not connect with other platforms, like Substack.

Apple Podcasts offers audio-only fans the ability to listen to members-only shows, add supported, for $4.99 a month. It does not connect with other platforms.
