Let’s read great articles and discuss them 📖
Hi there, I’m Mark Isero. I’m an educator from the Bay Area who believes deeply in the power of reading — for both young people and adults.
Ten years ago, I launched a weekly newsletter that features the best articles on race, education, and culture. We built a strong reading community of kind, curious people.
Five years ago, we expanded the project. Now we’re Article Club, a dedicated space to discuss the best articles in depth with other kind, thoughtful readers.
What you can expect
1️⃣ Every Thursday, you’ll receive my favorite articles of the week. They’ll spark new thinking. They’ll expand your empathy. And maybe one of them will help you pause for a bit, nudge you to reflect, and urge you to think about the bigger things in life.
2️⃣ Every month, you’re invited to join our deep dive on one great article. This means:
Annotating the article together on a shared Google Doc
Listening to an interview with the author
Discussing the article together on Zoom (last Sunday of the month, 2 pm PT)
4 reasons that Article Club might be for you
You’re tired of (doom)scrolling and want to read more articles with nuance
You trust a real human (rather than an AI) to find great articles for you
You find book clubs to be stressful. (Does anyone actually read the book?)
You want to connect with kind people who like to discuss important ideas
