The Chonkerton

Have a story to tell?

The Chonkerton reads the news aloud. Some of it could be yours.

What this is

Listeners tell us what they care about and how many minutes they've got; we build them a fresh bulletin and read it out. Every story in that bulletin is a short summary of something someone published — credited, and linked back to the original.

We ask first

We only syndicate from publishers who want to be syndicated. No scraping paywalls, no "fair use" hand-waving. If your work shows up on The Chonkerton, it's because your feed invites it or because you told us yes. That's the whole policy, and we'd rather grow slowly than bend it.

Who this fits

What you get: your reporting in front of listeners who chose your topic on purpose, a credit, and a link back. What it costs: nothing. We're building an audience for recent news; good sources are the product.

Interested? Email [email protected] with a link to what you publish (a feed URL is perfect). A person reads it — usually the same day.
