In this brief promotional video, the speaker outlines the structure and appeal of the FarAndWide.news weekly newsletter, which is released free every Saturday morning. The newsletter includes a readable essay (with optional video) on reporter bias, a deep‑dive data segment, a "news you didn’t hear but should have" section that highlights uplifting stories (e.g., an Indigenous sweater made from Walmart bags) as an antidote to doom‑scrolling, a "fuck around and find out" science roundup, a recalls recap, satirical commentary on the current U.S. dystopian climate, a weekly "Made in Canada" company profile, links to the creator’s weekly videos, and a financial roundup of Canadian companies. The speaker urges viewers to subscribe.

Oh, it's a good newsletter this weekend. This week it's all about how, yes, reporters are biased and why that's actually a good thing. Um, it's a decent-sized essay, easy to read. There's a video form if you'd rather have that. There's a section for, uh, a deep dive data with some information. And this is the main section of the newsletter, the news you didn't hear but should have. It's mostly good news. It's an antidote against doom scrolling, right? It's hope and things like that. Um, like this guy who made an Indigenous sweater out of Walmart grocery bags, which is kind of awesome. There's always a fuck around and find out section of science news you missed recalls, and then we make fun of the dystopian hellscape happening in the US right now. There's a Made in Canada section that talks about— profiles a Canadian company every week. There's my videos if you missed them for the week, funny stuff, how Canadian companies ended up the week financially. Like, honestly, it's full of stuff. Go subscribe, it's free, comes out every Saturday morning.
