Tell me more about AVALON.
Watch Neil explain why he launched AVALON.
This is a fascinating time for Apple. 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. Many podcasters have 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 Above Avalon articles.

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. -
