What is Substack?
The Thom Hartmann Program uses the Substack platform to carry our newsletters. When you subscribe, a Substack account is created for you under your chosen email address.
How do I Sign In?
You can sign in and manage your account directly with this link:
https://thom.tv/account or by clicking here.
If you have difficulty signing in to your account, ensure you are using the correct email address and password combination. The team at Substack support may be able to help if you are having a sign-in issue - click here for help.
How Do I Change My Password?
For security reasons, we cannot see your password, nor can we change it for you.
Go to your Manage Subscription Page scroll down to the Account Actions and use the link titled “To change your password” and follow through from there.
I Have Forgotten my Password
At the top right of the webpage, click the black ‘Sign In’ link.
On the resulting page, enter your email address and click the orange ‘Continue’ button. This will send you an email with a link, which will bring you back to the home page where you are then signed in.
To change your password, see the section above here.
How Do I Receive the Thom Hartmann Program Newsletters by Email?
When you subscribe, either as a free or paying member, you’ll receive the Thom Hartmann Program newsletter in your email. The Thom Hartmann Program newsletter is divided into several sections.
You can manage which sections of the Thom Hartmann Program newsletter you wish to receive by visiting your Manage Subscription page and disabling the toggles on the subjects you no longer wish to receive. This allows you to choose which parts of the Thom Hartmann Program newsletter are emailed or made available in the Substack app.
I Was Receiving the Thom Hartmann Program Newsletter, But the Emails Stopped
This is almost certainly due to your email provider marking the Thom Hartmann Program newsletter as spam.
The first thing to try, is a test email, to see if it arrives with you.
Go to your Manage Subscription Page scroll down to the Account Actions area and use the link titled “If you are having email delivery issues” and follow through from there.
If you are still not receiving emails, then it is probable that your email supplier is placing the emails in the spam or promotions folder. We suggest checking these folders.
Should you still not find the emails, it is possible that your email provider is blocking them at source as spam. Use this link to contact Substack support, who should be able to help.
Setting up the Podcasts
Podcasts are available for paid supporters. You can listen to the podcasts directly from the website by clicking the Podcast link on the top menu bar.
(Important: The podcasts from here don't link with Thom's old website or his app. That is now a legacy system.)
You can set up the podcasts on your phone in this way:
1. You need a podcast app on your phone.
What you use depends on whether your phone is iOS or Android. You should find a suitable app already on your phone.
2. Go to https://thom.tv and sign-in
3. Then click the 'Podcasts' link on the top menu bar.
4. Click on the first podcast
5. Now, click the 'Listen on' dropdown
6. There you will find options to Copy the URL and/or email it
7. When you have the URL, paste that into the relevant place on your podcast phone app and save
8. Your podcast app will then pull down the next podcasts when they are published
Once set, you won't need to do this again.
How Do I Change My Email Address?
To update your email address for your Substack profile, head to your Settings page: https://substack.com/settings
Click on "Edit" in the Email section.
Enter your new email address and click "Save". This will change the email address on all of your Substack subscriptions.
How Do I Receive the Thom Hartmann Program Newsletter on My Phone or Tablet?
Substack has its own app, which should work with most phones and tablets running Android or Apple iOS.
Download and install the app, sign in and you will be connected to the Thom Hartmann Program newsletter and any other Substack newsletters to which you subscribe. Click below, or search in your app store for ‘Substack’
How Can I Listen to the Newsletter Posts?
The Substack app has a useful facility - it can read aloud the words from a newsletter.
To listen you will first need to download and install the Substack app and sign in (see above).
Then, open an article and click on the headphone icon toward the top right. The Substack AI voice will read the article.
Why Can’t I Comment on Posts?
Commenting on posts is reserved as a paid subscriber premium benefit.
Experience has proved that opening comments to all, results in commercial spamming, trolls, and some very unpleasant posts. For these reasons, we reserve comments for our wonderful paid supporters.
How Do I Unsubscribe From Thom Hartmann Program Newsletters?
If you simply reply to an email with ‘unsubscribe’, this will NOT cancel your free or paid subscriptions.
You should visit your Manage Subscription page, and disable the toggles on the subjects you no longer wish to receive. This allows you to choose which parts of the Thom Hartmann Program newsletters are emailed or made available in the Substack app.
If you wish to unsubscribe completely, then you should click the red ‘Unsubscribe’ button.
What is a Subscription?
Your support is much appreciated. The subscription covers either one month or a full twelve-month period and is not a single donation. By its nature, the subscription will automatically renew on the anniversary of its start date, unless cancelled ahead of that date. See below how to either pause or cancel your yearly subscription.
Can I Pause My Paid Subscription For a Short While?
Absolutely. Paid subscriptions can be paused for one, three, or six months. At the end of the pause period, the subscription will restart, unless you take another action.
You should visit your Manage Subscription page, and click the “To cancel your paid subscription” link, and use the “Pause subscription” option.
How Do I Cancel My Paid Subscription?
We will be sorry to see you go but appreciate that you may wish to leave the Thom Hartmann Program newsletter as a supporter.
You should visit your Manage Subscription page, and click the “To cancel your paid subscription” link, and use the “Cancel subscription” option.
How Do I Update My Card Details?
To change your card details or update the expiry date, click the top right of the screen and select ‘Settings’
Scroll down to the ‘Subscriptions’ section and select the name of the publication you need to update as a paid subscriber.
