You now have exclusive access to STB…

Dear valued members!

After a couple of years of (admittedly infrequent) requests to try and maintain the monthly STB income at a point where we can continue editing, creating and sharing content, the amount has gradually decreased slightly each year as subscribers move on for whatever reason.

This is fair and normal, but it is now around half of what we had at the beginning, and is in danger of becoming untenable. Instead of going on another “begging” spree—which I personally hate to do—I decided to take a chance and paywall the content instead, something I have always been against but which I feel needs to at least be tried at this point.

This means that only members (you) will be able to read the content for the time being. How long that continues for depends on whether the gamble works. If we get more members and can actually grow instead of treading water, then I will keep it going. If not, we will have to see what the future holds for the project.

Of course without your current and ongoing support, the project really wouldn’t be possible at all, so this is a good opportunity to say a meaningful THANK YOU/DANKE SCHÖN!

It’s also a good opportunity to ask you if there is any specific content you would like to see on the website: any themes, angles, places, people, eras etc. that you would like to know more about? We already have some new content upcoming but I would still love to hear any ideas as we look forward towards 2025…

And if any of you would like to join a tour at any point, I am still running them infrequently and would be happy to have you along and meet in person.

That’s all for now. Hopefully you still like what we are doing and want to continue supporting us. If that’s the case, please keep sharing and recommending our articles and posts so we can try and build up our subscriber base and keep doing our thing.

Ah, and do pop your email into the newsletter sign up on the Steady page too, as I might start sending out some additional content that way…

With best wishes and huge thanks from Big Bad Berlin.
