Tell me more about AVALON.

Watch Neil explain why he started AVALON.

This is a fascinating time for Apple. The company is opening new chapters with spatial computing and personal intelligence. Looking ahead, the next 10 years will be incredibly intriguing. However, it doesn’t feel like it in the Apple community.

Many long-time voices in the space seem tired. This has led to podcasts filled with complaining more than anything else. Some podcasters have seemingly lost touch with their audiences. It’s time for fresh, down-to-earth voices. That is why I launched AVALON, my first unscripted podcast. It’s a great compliment to the Above Avalon Daily newsletter and corresponding daily podcast.

Did you mention something about special pricing for Above Avalon Daily subscribers?

If you currently subscribe to the Above Avalon Daily newsletter, with the Podcasts Package attached to your membership, you get the AVALON podcast for FREE. This is one of the best deals available in the Above Avalon ecosystem.

If you subscribe to Above Avalon Daily without the Podcasts Package, no worries - you still receive a large 40% discount on AVALON. Pay just an extra $6 per month (or $60 per year) for AVALON by filling out this form.

    For Above Avalon members with the Podcasts add-on attached to their membership, the AVALON podcast will be free.

If you have the Podcasts add-on, you will receive an email from “Neil Cybart (via Transistor)” that will allow you add the AVALON podcast to your favorite podcast player.

  • Make sure you utilized the welcome email that you received upon signup. The email contains personalized links for populating the AVALON podcast into your favorite podcast player.

  • Don't worry. This isn't one of those subscriptions where you have to call and speak with a human to cancel. You have 100% control over your subscription at any time. Just sign into the payer portal here, and you will see your subscription status.

    NOTE: There are no refunds for unused time. If you cancel your subscription prior to renewal, you will no longer have access to new AVALON episodes.

  • Yes. My expectation is that many AVALON listeners will do that. To change subscriptions, sign into the payer portal here, and then edit
    “Plan Amount.” To change plans to one with an Above Avalon membership, choose any of the other plans listed in the dropdown menu. Note: Above Avalon members receive special pricing for the AVALON podcast, so you save by becoming an Above Avalon member.
