Welcome to ROCK PAPER RADIO by me, Kristin Leong.

What is ROCK PAPER RADIO?

It’s a dispatch for misfits & unlikely optimists.

It’s also a weekly newsletter where I share three curiosities each Thursday - something to hold on to (that’s the rock), something to read (that’s the paper), and something to listen to (you guessed it, that’s the radio).

Themes will include but will not be limited to:

rebel violinists
books to break you in half
old Chinese dads
adults in overalls
lesbian birds
emerald hunting
immortal jellyfish
haunted houses
revolution

What does “something to hold on to” mean?

It’s something to take with you even after your internet-frayed brain has moved on to the next TikTok dance/Twitter fight/thirst trap. Something human and grounding and perhaps a little unsettling.

Is ROCK PAPER RADIO on social media?

You bet. Find us @RockPaperRadio on Instagram and Twitter.

Why subscribe?

Why not? It’s fun here. Plus it’s a nice way to show your support for this little dispatch, which is offered up free and built out of love and guts and imaginary free time. You can unsubscribe anytime with one click. Join us.

And in the meantime, tell all your friends/enemies/rescue dogs to join us too. All the curious awkward creatures will be warmly welcomed.

See you next Thursday.
