Hello and welcome to the first ever edition of The Footnote newsletter*!

Thank you so much for your support of this project. By signing up to receive this email, you’ve shown that you have exceptional taste, a finger on the pulse of the future, and (hopefully) an appreciation for flattery.

I just wanted to let you know that we dropped our most recent visualization, “Bill Simmons’ Stock Portfolio”, an illustration of every time** that Bill or one of his guests used the stock market metaphor: saying that they were buying/selling/holding stock in a player, team, or concept (or that they were adjusting their equity on a player’s island, isthmus, archipelago, etc.)

Check out Bill’s portfolio here!

In the time since you subscribed I have also updated the visualization showing how often Joe House is mentioned compared to other famous people to make it a cleaner storytelling experience.

If you aren’t already, follow along on Instagram and TikTok at @itsdocseattle, and I’ll reach out again next time I have something to share!

Thanks so much,

DOC
